Tour DC's FIRST Mass Timber Community Center / by Rick Schneider

The Arboretum Community Center is the first of its kind in the nation’s capital. Mass Timber in the form of CLT and GLT was used as a design tool to get closer to Carbon Net Neutrality for a net carbon reduction of 30% while also bringing warmth to the gymnasium. Biophilic design is intertwined with strategies like daylighting, passive design, natural ventilation, solar power, and stormwater management to deliver a high-performance building that is ready to meet Net Zero Energy requirements.
