Oregon’s Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley recently visited the Tall Wood Design Institute to learn more about our Mass Timber Coalition, and how we plan to create resilient buildings in the Pacific Northwest. We are collaborating with the Tall Wood Design Institute to manufacture sustainably sourced mass timber plywood panels, retrofit existing structures for energy efficiency and earthquakes, and build resilient affordable housing for Oregonians.

Grateful to be in Corvallis today to see what the $449,000 grant @SenJeffMerkley & I secured will mean for @OregonState & @uoregon’s Tall Wood Design Institute. These students & researchers are leading the way on engineering sustainable wood products like cross-laminated timber. pic.twitter.com/dcirhS4nVM
