SEQUIM, WASH. (AP) – New modular classrooms are being built across Washington state using a new wood that’s the buzz of the industry.
It’s called cross-laminated timber, or CLT.
Supporters say it could infuse struggling forest communities with new economic growth while reducing the carbon footprint of construction by using renewable building materials.
State lawmakers set aside $5.5 million for 20 classrooms made from CLT.
