Overview
Where Craftsmanship Meets Continuing Education
At Glacier Millworks, we believe great design is rooted in knowledge and that specifying the right finish is just as important as choosing the right material. That’s why we’ve partnered with Ron Blank & Associates to sponsor an AIA-approved continuing education course focused on wood finishing, sustainability, and performance.
Whether you’re designing a luxury residence or a large-scale commercial space, this course helps you specify wood products with greater confidence, intention, and compliance.
