Case Study: Walmart New Home Office Campus

Walmart’s new home office campus in Bentonville, Arkansas is setting the standard for corporate headquarters, from its amenities (access to fitness, fresh air, and child care) to its sustainability (integrating technology, renewable energy and materials).

Across its 350-acre campus, Walmart has 2.4 million square feet of office space constructed from regionally and domestically-sourced mass timber — the largest mass timber campus development currently under construction in the U.S. This project has served as a prime environment for understanding all that mass timber has to offer and how to make the most of its sustainability and efficiency throughout the design, engineering, and construction process.

In this case study presentation, Gensler, Fast + Epp, and Shawmut Design and Construction will share their findings throughout the project lifecycle, from time and cost saving to procurement considerations to the critical need for collaboration.
