📅 Save the Date: Thursday, October 3, 2025
📍 Location(s) TBA — Central Milwaukee
This day of workshops will feature three focused sessions, each designed to spark meaningful conversations and provide practical tools around the future of housing in Milwaukee. Attend one or stay for all. Everyone is welcome.
🔍 Session Topics:
1. Building Science & Environmental Design
A deep dive into building science principles, energy performance, and reducing carbon emissions in housing.
2. Design & Off-Site Processes for Prefabricated Construction
Explore how prefab construction works—from code to coordination—and what it means for housing creation.
3. Off-Site Construction for Builders
Hands-on guidance for contractors and tradespeople navigating the transition to high-performance prefab.
🌱 Why This Matters:
Milwaukee is taking steps toward a more sustainable, efficient, and equitable approach to housing. This event is part of a broader commitment to innovation in construction and climate-resilient design—right here in our city. It also leads into the national Phius conference on Passive House, happening in Milwaukee the following week, which B.PUBLIC will also be attending.
🗓️ Bonus: Stay tuned for a public event at City Hall on Monday, October 6. More details coming soon.
