Wood products, including mass timber, have seen strong growth in the last decade as they meet demands for sustainable and affordable living and working spaces. Wood is the only major building material that is renewable. When wood is used in construction, it continues to store carbon for the life of the structure, minimizing a building’s carbon footprint.
“The Think Wood Mobile Tour provides a window into the possibilities of wood for developers, architects, engineers and other stakeholders across the country,” said Ryan Flom, Chief Marketing Officer at SLB. “Where most see just a tree, we see the future of the built environment.”
“Our Open House and the Think Wood exhibit provide an excellent opportunity to learn about changing technologies in forestry” said Dr. Philip Tappe, Dean of the College of Forestry, Agriculture and Natural Resources. “Well managed, healthy forests provide a host of environmental and social benefits while simultaneously providing jobs and contributing significantly to the economy of Arkansas. Our college and faculty are committed to teaching those concepts and practices,” said Tappe.
The Think Wood mobile exhibit debuted at the National Building Museum in late October. Arkansas U.S. Representative, 4th District, Bruce Westerman delivered the keynote address for the unveiling. Other nationwide stops for the Think Wood mobile unit include, The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats in Chicago. A remodeling show and Expo in Louisville and the Residential Construction Show in Portland Oregon to be held in December.
