Michigan State University
East Lansing
Michigan
The new STEM Teaching and Learning Facility at Michigan State is the first mass timber structure of its kind constructed in the state. The two new buildings form wings that connect to the campus’s former power plant, paying homage to the historical industrial building on-site. In the classrooms, the structural grid reaches 9.6 m (31.5 ft) × 12.8 m (39.4 ft), requiring, in some areas, glued-laminated timber beams as deep as 1.1 m (3.3 ft).
