The Advanced Structures & Composites Center’s (ASCC) Wood Composites Manager Russell Edgar and ASCC Executive Director Dr. Habib Dagher featured in Maine Public article discussing Senator Angus King’s request for the General Services Administration to use mass timber in construction and renovation of government buildings. The ASCC is home to the Maine Mass Timber Commercialization Center.
“To start a new industry you need to create demand,” said Dr. Dagher. “Maine tree species can compete with those used in other parts of the U.S. and Europe to make mass timber.” (Maine Public).
