The 187,000-square-foot structure is now considered to be the largest such CLT project in the eastern United States. </p>
<p>Its completion is a major milestone for the use of the increasingly popular material in the U.S. and marks the end of a journey begun twenty years ago when the firm <a href="https://mcdonough.com/writings/buildings-like-trees-cities-like-forests/" target="_blank">published</a> a text from McDonough and EPEA International founder Michael Braungart outlining the “possibility of developing healthy and creatively interactive relationships between human settlements and the natural world.”</p>

Robert E. Lee as well as a nearby one of Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson will be removed Saturday. Designated public viewing areas for the removals will be established in both parks where the statues are located, the news release said.</p></em><br /><br /><p>The city had been planning to take at least the <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/613372/confederate-memorial" target="_blank">Lee statue</a> down since 2016, which in part prompted the deadly 2017 white supremacist Unite the Right rally. A number of laws and local ordinances had put the removal in question before a <a href="https://www.jurist.org/news/2021/04/virginia-highest-court-rules-city-can-remove-two-confederate-statues/" target="_blank">court ruling</a> earlier this year ultimately cleared the way.</p>
<p>The statues were removed on Saturday after a last-minute announcement by the city. NPR has more on the planned removals <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/07/10/1014926659/charlottesville-removes-robert-e-lee-statue-that-sparked-a-deadly-rally" target="_blank">herer</a>. </p>
