Join us for an exclusive tour of Ryman Healthcare's newest sustainably-built retirement village in Christchurch, Kevin Hickmann village. Attendees will have the opportunity to see the innovative use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction up-close and learn how this mass engineered timber helps reduce the carbon footprint compared to traditional building materials.
This event is intended for construction industry professionals who want to see CLT used in practice. You'll get an inside look at how CLT is implemented for the main building structure and learn some of the how to's when working with mass timber.
The tour will be hosted by Mid-Rise Wood Construction, an organization that aims to accelerate the use of mass timber construction in NZ. Their mission aligns with Ryman's commitment to sustainability.
