Growing Schools: The Feasibility of Mass Timber K-12 Schools in Washington State

A few years ago, we wondered why more mass timber K-12 schools, especially larger and multi-story structures, were not being built in Washington State. To find answers to these questions, we formed an expert mass timber team comprised of Mahlum staff and consultant firms, submitted a proposal to the USDA/US Forest Service for a Wood Innovations Grant, and embarked on a two-year long study.

We Stand with our Staff in Denouncing AAPI Hate Crimes

Violence and racism against Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are deeply entrenched in the history of the United States.  We stand with our staff in denouncing the recent string of murders and attacks, the latest manifestation of the longstanding history of violence and hate against Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). 

A Vision for Transformation

As a firm dedicated to promoting a deep sense of community within our work, Mahlum was humbled by the vision for transformation brought to us by our client for the Our Home – Cathedral Park cohousing community, and are honored to be collaborating with Our Home Inclusive Community Collaborative (ICC) on this project.
