Get off the bus and into the buildings. On the first day of the Summit, attendees take to the streets of Denver and Boulder for guided tours of three standout mass timber projects — each one a real-world lesson in what's possible when great design meets innovative materials and bold decision-making.

Tour Colorado's tallest mass timber building at MSU Summit House, a 12-story, 586-bed student housing project that proves mass timber can compete head-to-head with concrete on cost. Then explore Boulder's Western City Campus, where adaptive reuse and a 62,000-square-foot mass timber addition are cutting embodied carbon by 73% using locally sourced Colorado wood. Cap the day at the Eastern Stock Show Legacy Building — an iconic Denver venue that sets the stage for the Summit's opening Western Night celebration.

These aren't passive walkthroughs. Each tour is hosted by the project teams themselves — the architects, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers who made it happen — giving you direct access to the decisions, challenges, and lessons learned that you can bring back to your own projects.
