Award Winning Design: Wood in Schools

How Innovative Wood Design is Redefining Educational Spaces.
Three designers share about the use of wood in their award-winning educational projects. Abbey Dacey with Mahlum Architects, Robert Smith with LMN Architects, and Lauren Piepho, HGA, utilized wood to meet seismic design requirements, ambitious carbon reduction goals, and as a learning tool for the next generation.
For more than a decade, WoodWorks has celebrated design teams using wood in innovative ways that positively impact the environment, occupants, and communities throughout the U.S. The Wood in Architecture Awards recognize excellence in mass timber, light-frame wood, and hybrid building design.
