架构师提供的文本描述。当海因斯以这一令人兴奋的项目接近MGA时，他们将T3设想为一个独特的新办公楼模型；提供了一个机会，以现代的方式来解释历史悠久的木材、砖块、石头和钢铁建筑的坚固特性，同时也带来了最先进的便利设施、环境性能和技术能力的额外好处。

Text description provided by the architects. When Hines approached MGA with this exciting project they envisioned T3 as a unique model of new-office building; an opportunity to offer a modern interpretation of the robust character of historic wood, brick, stone, and steel buildings with the additional benefits of state of the art amenities, environmental performance, and technical capability.

The project is an investment in both the past and future of Minneapolis and in the Warehouse District’s rich history. The design objective for T3 was to build on the character of the past with a modern perspective. As businesses look to new competitive models for attracting staff, the goal for T3 was to provide a warm and inviting environment that would attract and retain employers and employees.

T3代表“木材，技术，运输”，提供22.4万平方英尺的办公和零售空间。超过3600立方米的裸露的大量木柱、梁和楼板让人想起这座建筑前辈的重型木结构。T3的现代技术方法使用工程木材组件(主要是胶合板和钉层木材)作为屋顶、地板、柱子和梁，以及家具。用于制造NLT的大量木材来自于被山松甲虫杀死的树木。这些现代材料为室内带来了木材的温暖和美丽，为居住者提供了一个健康的室内环境。

T3, which stands for ‘Timber, Technology, Transit’, offers 224,000 square feet of office and retail space. Over 3,600 cubic meters of exposed mass timber columns, beams, and floor slabs recall the heavy timber construction of the building’s predecessors. T3’s modern technological approach uses engineered wood components (chiefly glulam and nail laminated timber) for the roof, floors, columns and beams, and furniture. A significant amount of the lumber used to fabricate the NLT comes from trees killed by the mountain pine beetle. These modern materials bring the warmth and beauty of wood to the interior, and promote a healthy indoor environment for occupants.

由于它的木材结构，T3是以超过常规钢框架或混凝土建筑的速度建造的。在不到10周的时间里，18万平方英尺的木材框架就上升了，平均每周安装30，000平方英尺的建筑面积。它也比类似的钢或混凝土结构轻，减少了开挖和基础的深度和范围。此外，该建筑木材结构体系中的碳含量低于明尼阿波利斯市中心和北环大部分传统建筑中的碳含量。

As a result of its wood structure, T3 was erected at a speed exceeding conventional steel-framed or concrete buildings. In less than 10 weeks, 180,000 square feet of timber framing went up, averaging 30,000 square feet of floor area installed per week. It is also lighter than comparable steel or concrete structures, reducing the depth and extent of excavation and foundations. Additionally, the embodied carbon in the building’s wood structural system is lower than that found in conventional buildings found throughout most of downtown Minneapolis and the North Loop.

建筑美学的成功也可以归功于大量的木结构。MGA助理和T3项目负责人CandiceNichol说：“暴露的NLT的纹理相当漂亮。山松甲虫木材上的小瑕疵和颜色的轻微变化，只会增加新空间的温暖和特色。“在每一层都有广泛的外部玻璃，以及通过木制家具、展位和特色楼梯进入地面社会工作区的视野，让公众能够体验这座建筑的景色。”

The building’s aesthetic success can also be attributed to the mass timber construction. Candice Nichol, MGA Associate and T3 Project Lead, says “the texture of the exposed NLT is quite beautiful. The small imperfections in the lumber and slight variation in color of the mountain pine beetle wood only add to the warmth and character of the new space.”  Extensive exterior glazing at every level as well as views into the ground level social workspace with wood furniture, booths, and a feature stair, allow the public to experience the building.

木头的使用在整个建筑里都很受欢迎。尼科尔说：“T3的整个木材结构都是故意暴露出来的，并被室内照明照射到天花板上。”晚上，“被照亮的木头会透过外面的开口发光。”

The use of wood is celebrated throughout the building. “The entire timber structure of T3 was intentionally left exposed and illuminated with interior lighting directed up to the ceiling,” Nichol says. At night, “the illuminated wood will glow through the exterior openings.”

T3是美国目前最大的已建成的大量木材建筑。随着北美各地建筑规范的改变，高大的木结构建筑将变得更加普遍。作为这种建筑类型的先驱，T3已经开辟了新的领域，也许是未来商业大规模木材建筑的原型。

T3 is currently the largest completed mass timber building in the U.S. With changing building codes throughout North America, tall wood buildings will become more common. A pioneer in this building type, T3 has broken new ground and is perhaps a prototype for future commercial mass timber buildings.

产品描述：钉子-层压组件已被用于一个多世纪，尤其是在需要坚固、坚固的地板的仓库中。它现在被再次确认为商业和机构建筑中的混凝土板和钢的有效替代方案，以及其经常暴露以产生独特的美学的住宅建筑。

Product Description. Nail-laminated assemblies have been used for more than a century, particularly in warehouses where solid, sturdy floors were required. It is now being recognized again as a valid alternative to concrete slab and steel in commercial and institutional buildings, and residential buildings in which it is often exposed to create a unique aesthetic.
