(For video version, visit https://www.youtube.com/user/KrausAnderson)
Welcome to Build Me Up with Laurisa and Kaitlin from Kraus-Anderson! Earth Day is upon us, and we are taking a deep dive into one of our most sustainable, unique projects as of late: the Washington County Central Service Center, a mass timber building in Woodbury, MN.
Yep, unlike many construction projects going up today, this building is largely made of wood! Joining us to talk about how mass timber could be a financial and environmental benefit for your organization’snext project are Erik Jalowitz, Washington County Building Services Manager, Julie MacLeod and Ernesto Ruiz-Garcia of Alliance Architects, and Ken Francois, Project Manager at KA.
