The team first explored an all\u2013mass timber structure, drawn to its warmth and clarity. But in a high-seismic region with blast protection requirements, the team reshaped the approach. As Lund Opsahl Principal <a href=\"https:\/\/test.markcoders.com\/opsahl\/team\/tony-mason-pe-se-dbia\/\">Tony Mason<\/a> noted, fully timber perimeter beams would have required encasement\u2014resulting in \u201cadditional cost without programmatic or architectural gain.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>The solution: a hybrid system of steel and exposed DLT. Resilient, expressive, and efficient, this system delivers structural integrity and preserves the warmth of timber. <br \/><br \/>Part of the Legislative Campus Modernization program, the LEED Platinum, net-zero\u2013ready building replaces a seismically deficient 1934 structure. It integrates salvaged materials, locally sourced mass timber, and high-performance systems to create a civic workplace serving legislators, staff, students, and the broader community. <br \/><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturalrecord.com\/articles\/18049-continuing-education-newhouse-replacement-building\">Read the article<\/a> in the March 2026 issue of Architectural Record.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Newhouse Replacement Building is featured in the March Civic issue of Architectural Record.
