On Friday, October 17, SHADE Institute had over 100 people attend the Mass Timber Blitz at SHADE.
Mass Timber construction offers numerous benefits, including environmental advantages, faster construction timelines, and enhanced building aesthetics. The training aimed to bring together development, design, and construction leaders to explore how mass timber - a renewable domestic resource - can transform the islands' built environment into one that is more sustainable, humane, and economically achievable.
The program commenced with a Kick-Off Event on October 16, followed by a full-day training session on October 17. We concluded with a Pau Hana, attended by our partners, sponsors, volunteer students, and event participants.
Thank you to our partners, sponsors, volunteers, and participants for joining us!
