The TallWood Design Institute is hosting an "Open House" of the MPP Workforce Housing Prototype at Oregon State University in Corvallis. The house will be open to the public for tours with the opportunity to hear from key project leads. The University of Oregon's project showcases the thermal and seismic resilience of mass timber as a building product, while exploring a possible cost-effective solution to the housing crisis. 

 

Thursday, November 7th, 2 - 5 pm 

A.A. "Red" Emmerson Advanced Wood Products Lab 

3205 SW Washington Way

Corvallis, OR 97331

 

The two-story, two-bedroom house spans approximately 760 square feet and was designed to serve as part of a "cottage cluster" or as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The completed house was built with prefabricated mass plywood panels, allowing the house to be 'flat packed', or shipped in pieces for an efficient assembly process. Phase one of the project focused on testing construction means and methods, including evaluation of shipping efficiency and field assembly, and documenting labor and material costs. The prototype serves as a necessary "proof of concept" for potential builders and developers.
