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.

Oregon Mass Timber: Ready for Primetime
Mass timber didn’t arrive overnight — it earned its place.
Over the past decade, Oregon’s mass timber ecosystem has evolved into a highly capable, deeply collaborative community. This documentary looks at two iconic university projects — at PSU and OSU — that show what’s possible today. Together, they demonstrate that mass timber is no longer experimental — it’s ready for primetime.
For public and private building owners planning major projects, mass timber is now a mature, credible option.
