About the event

Join WoodWorks for a detailed jobsite tour of Building F within Boston’s Bunker Hill Housing Redevelopment. The nine-story, 273,000-square-foot project demonstrates a hybrid structural system combining cross-laminated timber panels with cold-formed steel bearing walls to create sustainable, biophilic living spaces. Project team members and WoodWorks regional director Patrick Duffy lead attendees across the active construction site to review code-compliant detailing, structural capacity, fire resistance strategies, and installation efficiencies. Participants gain practical knowledge regarding hybrid mass timber execution, followed by an informal networking reception nearby.

What you’ll learn

  • Discuss typical construction practices for mass timber projects, including safety best practices, installation efficiency, and coordination with follow-on trades.
  • Highlight a variety of structural and architectural uses of CLT panels on hybrid projects through an in-person tour of an under-construction project, highlighting the biophilic benefits of exposed mass timber/sustainable benefits of wood framing for occupants and visitors.
  • Demonstrate connection detailing techniques used in code-compliant mass timber-hybrid buildings to ensure appropriate structural capacity, fire resistance, and consideration of the project construction type.
  • Explain the diverse methods of project development and approaches used by the design team, including owners, contractors, architects, and engineers, to achieve a successful mass timber project.

Attendance notes

This is an active jobsite; attendees are required to wear PPE (Safety vest, hard hat, safety glasses) and sturdy hard-soled flat shoes. A limited number of loaner PPE will be available to those who need it – please indicate this on your registration.
