Check out the 22 projects just named winners of WoodWorks' 2023 Wood Design Awards

WoodWorks has announced the winners of the 2023 Wood Design Awards, an annual showcase of the industry’s most inspiring applications of mass timber and wood in building designs across the United States. A total of 22 projects were selected in ten categories by a jury panel that included Hacker Architects Principal Corey Martin, Cheung Chan of the Iowa-based firm Neumann Monson Architects, and Arup Senior Structural Engineer Lauren Wingo.  The past year has seen an unprecedented rise in the use of mass timber and other sustainable wood materials, with the headline-making addition of Milwaukee’s 25-story Ascent Tower, which won in the Innovation category, to the global repository of high-rise architecture among the many noteworthy innovations. "Investing in a more sustainable future deserves to be recognized. It’s an honor to celebrate design teams that inspire the broader AEC community by challenging the expectations of modern design and construction," WoodWorks President and CEO Jennifer Cover said at the announcement. "This year's winning projects represent the work of building designers from across the nation who are demonstrating the incredible potential of wood. From 19 stories of CLT and glulam towering over the Milwaukee skyline to wooden reflectors enhancing acoustics in a Colorado theater, these projects underscore how wood enriches the physical landscape of our communities and the experience of those who inhabit them."
