At The University of Tennessee, Knoxville we have our annual Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement. Even though we are still designing and our final review for this
semester is less than a week away, we took the time to create a poster
and give a presentation at the exhibit. This year the Green Oak Initiative won Gold in the Architecture and Design category.
The exhibit showcased many projects and it was exciting seeing all of the work all these students have done and the potential that research projects can do for the world. Being recognized for the work that we have done this semester, as well as showcasing the work that students have done in the previous semesters, was wonderful. We are also glad we are spreading the word about the amazing work we are doing that we know will be doing some real good once we can utilize this material and construction methods.
The Green Oak Initiative is a proposal by the University of Tennessee to develop contemporary green (un-dried) oak construction techniques for the US building market. This initiative will allow currently underutilized heart-centers of logs to be used as an extremely low energy, carbon friendly, beautiful, and high value wood product - as structural members in sustainable buildings.
