Miller Hull

Alex Zink will be presenting “Dowel-Laminated Timber: Advancing Mass Timber Acoustics & Health” at AIA National this June.

How can mass timber systems enhance acoustics, air quality, and sustainability at scale? This session will review Miller Hull’s four recent library and office projects (40,000 to 100,000 sq. ft.) that integrate acoustic dowel-laminated timber (DLT) to deliver healthy, high-performance environments.

Presenters will highlight how acoustic DLT mitigates noise, eliminates drop ceilings, and avoids glues that compromise indoor air quality. Join us to explore savings with embodied carbon versus steel and concrete, BIM coordination for clean ceilings, and best practices for hybrid construction. You’ll leave with actionable strategies for advancing resilience, performance, and innovation in mass timber design.
