This sprint included a literature review to identify the state of the industry includingthe current market and manufacturing, benefits to users and clients, and drivers for continued growth. Additionally, the team examined the differences between concrete and mass timber construction through a prototypical six-story  \noffice building design in Dallas, Texas. This  \ncomparative study aimed to understand the financial, experiential, and sustainable benefits of mass timber versus concrete construction.  \nThe design and evaluation of these prototypes were done in partnership with Swinerton, a  \nnational construction company, Texas Air Systems, and Timberlab, a research subsidiary of Swinerton, who has paved the way for innovation in mass timber building delivery over the past five years.  \n1  \nMASS TIMBER PROTOTYPE STUDY  \nCORGAN  \nContents  \n4  \nMass Timber Overview  \n24  \nPrototype Case Study  \n5O  \nConclusion + Appendix  \nMass Timber Overview  \nState of the Industry  \nMass Timber Market  \nProducts + Manufacturing  \nBenefits for Users  \nWellbeing  \nAesthetics + Sensory Affordances  \nBenefits for Clients  \nFunding Opportunities Life Cycle Analysis  \nMass Timber in Context  \nCode  \nSourcing and Embodied Carbon  \nCORGAN HEADQUARTERS DALLAS, TX  \nCORGAN  \nState of the Industry  \nMass Timber Market  \nAs interest in mass timber is increasing across the southeastern United States, and recent code changes enable its integration into a variety of building types, developers are looking to add mass timber construction to their more sustainable portfolios.  \nCompared to typical concrete construction, mass timber introduces a variety of benefits to the built environment, including a low carbon footprint, a range of structural capabilities, positive user impact, and cost advantages. When considering construction technique and materiality, it is important to understand the financial, experiential, functional, and sustainable benefits of engineered wood construction, to inform better decision-making by designers, developers, and across the design process.  \nAnticipated Projects by Market Sector  \nHealthcare  \n7%  \nTall Wood  \n5%  \nEducation  \n11%  \nMass Timber  \n12%  \nCommercial  \n18%  \nMultifamily  \n17%  \nCivic/Comm  \n13%  \nSingle Family  \n17%  \nAdapted from Timber Trends 2022 report from Think Wood®  \nAdapted from Woodworks  \nInnovation Network-Dec 20221  \nCURRENT STATE OF MASS TIMBER PROJECTS  \n1,622  \nactive  \nmass timber projects in the U.
