“ I found the module on water management very interesting relevant to my upcoming work projects. Due to the nature of the material and the climate we are building in, a water mitigation plan is of the up most importance. It can make or break a mass timber project. ”

" As professionals move further from the field, it’s possible to drift away from the tacit knowledge that shapes good building — the instincts, the material sense, the feel for how wood works. The Associate Certificate in Construction of Mass Timber Structures program was a reminder to me of how vital that connection is, while also advancing my grasp of industrialized and modern methods of construction. It’s made me a stronger leader in mass timber delivery. "
