Creative mass timber systems steal the show at this new elementary school for the Renton School District. Respecting the budget and building complexities, the team carefully selected locations for exposed mass timber. Acoustic DLT supported by glulam beams was chosen for large, busy spaces like the gym, commons, and library. Classroom wings feature CLT floors and roofs plus post and beam construction, achieving the warm, wood tones desired by the design team. And finally, the team used the spanning capability of the CLT panels to economize the post and beam framing, minimizing the piece count and maintaining an efficient CLT panel thickness that fit within the geometry. Timberlab provided mass timber fabrication and installation for Hiltop Heritage Elementary School.
