RSVP NOW FOR APRIL CHAPTER MEETING
SN-ICC anticipates a strong turn out for the Chapter Meeting scheduled for 11:30 a.m., Thursday,
April 12 at Sierra Gold on Jones Boulevard at Sunset Road, so please don't delay registering to attend. Seating is limited.
Past President Steve DiGiovanni, P.E., a fire protection engineer with the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, will give a presentation about tall wood building code proposals.
The International Code Council established an ad hoc committee to explore the feasibility and development of proposed changes to the International Building Code to include provisions for tall wood buildings. The committee includes architects, engineers, code officials and manufacturers.
Advances in materials and technology have led to an increase in construction of tall wood buildings, including the new T3 Tower, a seven-story, 220,000-square-foot high-rise in Minneapolis that ranks as the largest modern mass timber building in the United States. T3 stands for "Timber, Technology, Transit."
Please don't miss this important and informative meeting of the SN-ICC members. Click here to RSVP now.
