Mass Timber Schools in Washington

School Districts across the state - in both urban and rural communities - are expanding existing facilities and building new facilities with mass timber to promote students health and performance, deliver new buildings faster, and achieve sustainability goals. We invite you to explore may of these buildings, here, to gain a sense of how school districts have brought their visions to life, and to inspire  creative thinking about what is possible for your district. If you have a project to share with us, please be in touch.
