Oregon State University and the University of Oregon have joined forces to launch the TallWood Design Institute (TDI). TDI unites researchers from top U.S. wood products, engineering and sustainable design programs as one of the nation's first and only interdisciplinary research collaboratives focusing on the advancement of mass timber and structural wood products building solutions. TDI's primary activities, which include a wide range of testing, state-of-the-art timber research, and education, are reinforced by diverse faculty expertise, cutting-edge facilities and dynamic partnerships with manufacturers, designers and other stakeholders.
