This regional online seminar from WoodWorks examines mid-rise structural options using light-frame and mass timber systems. Instructor Mark Bartlett compares system selection based on construction type, occupancy, height, area limits, and project goals. Participants will study light-frame optimization methods, including podiums, mezzanines, open frontage, sprinklers, and sloping site design. The course also details early mass timber design parameters, such as structural grid layouts, fire-resistance ratings, and lateral-force-resisting systems. Built project case studies demonstrate how to integrate building code provisions into safe, efficient, and cost-effective mid-rise structures.
