The article discusses the growing use of mass timber, particularly cross-laminated timber (CLT), in construction and its potential to boost Wisconsin's forestry industry by creating local supply chains and increasing demand for Wisconsin-grown wood, though challenges such as competition and technological development remain.
The Board of Governors for Florida's public universities is expected to vote on whether to accept the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an alternative to the SAT and ACT for college admissions. If approved, Florida would become the first state university system to accept the CLT. The CLT is a three-section, two-hour exam that focuses on verbal reasoning, grammar and writing, and quantitative reasoning. It draws on sources from ancient to modern times, distinguishing itself from the SAT and ACT. This vote is part of an ongoing conflict between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the College Board, which administers the SAT and AP classes. New College of Florida has already signaled acceptance of the CLT pending board approval.
The Classic Learning Test (CLT), an alternative to the SAT and ACT, could gain more visibility and market access in Florida thanks to provisions in a broad education bill passed by the state's House of Representatives. The bill would allow students to use CLT scores to qualify for Florida's Bright Futures college scholarship program and authorize school systems to provide the CLT to 11th-graders. The CLT is accepted at more than 200 colleges and universities, many with Christian ties, and uses passages from classic literary and historical texts.
Agora Arquitectura has designed a house on a brick base in St. Vicenç dels Horts, Spain. The lower level of the house is built on a stacked brick base to contain the clay soil of the pre-existing section, while the upper level is a prefabricated CLT box covered with white-washed cork panels. The house features a T-shaped brick wall that acts as a prop and a continuous band that expands the new architecture to the limits of the plot. The interior is left exposed, except for two elements: a tongue-and-groove technical floor and whitewashed plywood volumes that slide between the interior and exterior of the house.
