Abstract/ Summary
In October 2019, the Advanced Structures & Composites Center (ASCC) at the University of Maine (UMaine) was awarded one of ten University Mass Timber Grants, meant to support demonstration projects showcasing mass timber technologies on university campuses. Two of the ten awards were given to Maine colleges and universities, the one described herein focused on a CLT addition to the ASCC to (1) demonstrate to regional stakeholders the viability of CLT as a structural building material, (2) demonstrate cost-effective use of CLT in large, warehouse-style buildings, (3) show Maine’s support for mass timber technologies to further encourage investment in CLT production in the state, (4) house a significantly expanded research program at UMaine in large scale, cellulose-filled, bio-based additive manufacturing (a.k.a. 3D printing) in support of Maine’s evolving and innovative forest products industry.
