00:00Leading the way in building high-rises with wood.

00:07This is Albina Yard, a brand new four-story complex that is all about being local.

00:15Thomas Robinson is the project architect.

00:18Pretty much everything you see here was either grown or fabricated in Oregon.

00:24The sourcing is important. I mean, the idea that we can actually source the beams,

00:29the window systems also made here, even the hardware for the glass.

00:34The idea that you can actually kind of leverage those local resources

00:38to really kind of drive economic development locally, it's really important.

00:44A key ingredient to sustainability at Albina Yard is the use of an innovative type of building material

00:51called cross-laminated timber, or CLT.

00:55This is a three-ply panel of cross-laminated timber.

00:59And it's really what Albina Yard is made out of.

01:02So you can see it's a series of two-by-eight timbers.

01:07So you can see one here and you can see one there.

01:09And then it's laminated in a crosswise pattern.

01:12You can sort of see the end grain there.

01:14And then there's another layer on the bottom.

01:16And that creates the panels that, you know, make up the building.

01:21Can I pick this up?

01:22Yeah, you can try.

01:23Oh man.

01:24All right.

01:25God.

01:26Woo!

01:27Wow!

01:28That is heavy.

01:29That is hefty.

01:30It's incredibly strong.

01:32Yeah.

01:33You
