Mercer Mass Timber

Mercer Mass Timber is the mass-timber actor referred to as Mercer in Building a home with future fires in mind. The episode links Mercer to use of Cross-Laminated Timber in the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library project and has Nate Foster explain the speed advantage of off-site manufactured panels.

The page is named narrowly to avoid confusion with Robert Mercer. In this source, Mercer matters as a construction case: panels can be fabricated elsewhere, shipped flat, lifted by crane, and placed quickly, making mass timber relevant to both Fire-Resilient Construction and post-disaster Housing Affordability Supply Mechanics.
