Mass Timber: Better Buildings, Resilient Forests, Brighter Future
We're creating equitable economic development and family-wage rural and urban jobs from sustainable wood products that are grown and manufactured in Oregon.
The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded Oregon Mass Timber Coalition a $41.4 million Build Back Better grant to advance Oregon’s sustainable mass timber sector. This investment will drive jobs, sustainable forestry, and mass timber housing.

Housing Solutions: The Mass Plywood Home
It's not a science project. We're addressing real-world problems for real people. The mass plywood house lays the foundation for the future of housing construction. By embracing cutting-edge innovative materials like mass plywood and systematizing modular design, we can accelerate housing production to meet our growing needs.
About the Coalition
The Coalition is a partnership between Oregon’s leading research universities and government agencies.
Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Hub at T2
The Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Hub at T2 is a signature project of the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition, led by the Port of Portland.
Located on the 53-acre Terminal 2 site in Portland, the facility will build and supply mass timber panels for modular homes, which will be barged and trucked from Terminal 2 to communities in need around Oregon.
