Mass Timber Hospital

Mass timber construction is renowned for its natural beauty, low carbon footprint, and constructability benefits. As it gains momentum across building types in North America, it remains underutilized in hospitals and healthcare settings.

ZGF Architects and Swinerton Builders conducted a research study with an expert partner team of technical consultants to identify barriers impeding mass timber construction in acute care settings, explore strategies and solutions, and offer guidance for increasing usage.
