    Great piece in the Mahlum blog about Mass Timber. This is an important discussion (with complexities) that is gaining traction in the AEC industry.

    I'd like to invite anyone interested in the nuances of this new and emerging technology to attend a moderated panel discussion at A19 in Las Vegas:  Friday, June 7, 2019  9:30 AM – 11:00 AM  FR215: Timber Towers? Point & Counterpoint.  It promises a lively exchange which will leave those in attendance well informed to make their own decisions.
