EllisDon is collaborating with British Columbia educators to funnel their mass timber knowledge into a new microcredential program. EllisDon director of construction sciences Mark Gaglione said the microcredential program originated with the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) who engaged David Moses, the principal of Moses Structural Engineers, to assist in writing curriculum before reaching out to EllisDon in 2022. …EllisDon engaged in three sections of the course: planning for mass timber construction, installation and the integration of other components with a mass timber build. …BCIT has made significant progress regarding mass timber education. “They are leaders in this space,” Gaglione said. “They were really the first to see this as a knowledge gap and do something about it.” The online course is open to non-students with one year of experience in carpentry, ironworking, construction management building inspection, design, development, manufacturing and estimating.
