Greetings from the WoodWorks team. First up a barn – but at 185m long and 31m wide, this composting barn isn’t just another agricultural build – it’s a scalable model for the future of farming infrastructure in New Zealand. Then we check out the tallest engineered timber office building in London… a huge seven-story, 4,480m² workplace combining laminated veneer lumber and cross-laminated timber, designed by none other than architect Andrew Waugh.
Over to the USA, and Cleveland’s 9-story residential building, where almost half of the interior surfaces of the building consist of exposed wood, implemented with glulam beams and columns as well as CLT BBS floors and ceilings. Finishing with one for the engineers again – designing for disassembly – no nails were used in this temporary, reusable structure which also features panelised modular removable sections.

And One to End the Issue
An exam was taking place in Oxford’s oldest and most traditional college…
The ancient hall was packed with students in deep concentration.
Halfway through, a student stood up, banged his desk and loudly demanded a pint of beer.
The head examiner, furious at the disruption, asked him to ‘explain yourself at once’.
The student cited section 7.b of a long forgotten 13th century charter which stated students must receive a pint of ale at the mid-point of all exams.
After finding a copy of the charter and seeing the student was right, the examiner begrudgingly dispatched an assistant to fetch a beer.
As the student smugly sipped on his pint, the head examiner suddenly announced, “You are expelled from this college, effective immediately!”
“Why?”, asked the student.
“For entering an exam hall without your sword.”
