Mercer Mass Timber Powers Sustainable Construction for Walmart’s Landmark Home Office

Mercer Mass Timber recently played a key role in the construction of Walmart’s new home office in Bentonville, Arkansas — the largest mass timber corporate campus in the United States. The installation of the mass timber panels began in spring 2024 and is now fully complete.

Shawmut Design and Construction and Layton Construction selected MMT to provide cross-laminated timber and glue-laminated timber for two major sections of the campus, opening in late 2025 to early 2026.

  • Zone 1: Four hybrid mass timber buildings (four stories each) totaling 897,500 square feet of office space and parking decks
  • Zone 3: Additional offices built with full mass timber frames including a single five-story building with a total area of 332,615 square feet.

Mercer Conway supplied a total of 21,000 cubic meters of CLT and glulam, while providing jobs for 58 local employees.

The use of mass timber offers significant environmental and construction benefits, including 25-40% lower carbon emissions compared to traditional materials, faster installation with prefabricated components and strong fire resistance for enhanced safety.

Alongside material supply, MMT provided design-assist services, including feasibility analysis, logistics and onsite installation support.
