A new residence hall at the University of Arkansas<\/a> (U of A) campus in Fayetteville, Arkansas, will serve as a testbed for researchers to study the behavior of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a building material.<\/p>\n

Adohi Hall is one of the nation\u2019s first large-scale mass timber residence hall projects.<\/p>\n

With a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities<\/a>, U of A professors in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design and the College of Engineering have collaborated to measure and analyze the moisture content of the CLT panels.<\/p>\n

Tahar Messadi, an associate professor of architecture in the Fay Jones School, is the principal investigator with Cameron Murray, an assistant professor of civil engineering, as co-investigator.<\/p>\n

Construction on the residential areas of Adohi Hall wrapped up in the summer, and students moved into them in August. Two five-story residential buildings are connected by a third structure that provides a common area.<\/p>\n

The approximately 18,580-m2<\/sup> (200,000-sf) project is a design collaboration by Leers Weinzapfel Associates<\/a> of Boston, Massachusetts, Modus Studio<\/a> of Fayetteville, Mackey Mitchell Architects<\/a> of St. Louis, Missouri, and OLIN<\/a> of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Researchers hope their investigation into the use of CLT panels can influence future use of the materials by the design and construction industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
