New York, NY (November 21, 2023) Timberlab welcomes Tanya Luthi as Director of Engineering. With 18 years of experience designing high-profile projects, Luthi is nationally accountable for the mass timber structural engineering strategy, analysis, and research and development across Timberlab's national portfolio of 60+ mass timber projects. 

Chris Evans, Timberlab President, highlights Luthi unique expertise, "Tanya brings a depth of knowledge that not only specializes in mass timber construction, but concrete and structural steel bring a holistic understanding of system integration, ensuring an optimal structure for our clients.” 

Luthi is a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Master of Science in Civil Engineering, a licensed Professional Engineer in 21 United States jurisdictions, and a licensed Structural Engineer in Georgia. In addition to her work as an engineer, she has authored design guides and serves on the New York City code committee as an advocate for the wider adoption of mass timber.

“Her commitment to innovation and advocacy for mass timber adoption aligns seamlessly with Timberlab's values. We are excited to embark on this journey with Tanya, confident that her leadership will steer us towards new heights of excellence, sustainability, and industry impact," added Evans. 

Timberlab recently expanded operations with the opening of an East Coast fabrication facility in Greenville, SC. The strategic move aims to serve the growing mass timber sector east of the Mississippi River, enhancing the supply chain, reducing the cost of mass timber, and making the materials more accessible.
