New York Timber Studio

The NYC Mass Timber Studio is a climate innovation program that provides $25,000-$29,000 grants and comprehensive technical assistance to design and development teams exploring mass timber construction in early project phases. The program operates for 8-9 months, during which teams receive regular technical support from WoodWorks, regulatory guidance from NYC Department of Buildings and Fire Department, and participate in public presentations and industry events. The inaugural cohort included 7 projects across all five boroughs, with 6 located in environmental justice communities, demonstrating successful navigation of NYC's regulatory framework and advancing mass timber adoption.
