Mass Timber installation is going smoothly for East County Library in Gresham, Oregon. The new library is our team's first mass timber project as a glulam manufacturer since acquiring American Laminators earlier this year. The ability to work closely with our lamination team has allowed us to create even greater efficiencies in our mass timber fabrication and installation processes. The new 95,000-square-foot two-story structure contains columns spanning nearly 30 feet! The project features unique connection details, many of which utilize bearing shelves to enhance the structural integrity of the building. It will incorporate roughly 1,200 pieces of glulam and 300 CLT panels. The library is slated to open in Fall 2025, targeting LEED Gold certification. Funded by the $387 million bond measure to expand and modernize Multnomah County Library facilities. East County Library is the third mass timber library from this program that our team has worked on by providing mass timber fabrication installation expertise. https://lnkd.in/gv5FNcDX Multnomah County | Holst | Fortis Construction, Inc. | Otak | Magnusson Klemencic Associates | Kalesnikoff #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #crosslaminatedtimber #cltbuilding #glulam #timberdesign #timberconstruction #timberengineering #portland #oregon #forestproud #masstimberconference #forestindustry #wooddesign
