Walmart Home Office Installs Mercer CLT, Glulam

Mercer Mass Timber (MMT), a manufacturer of timber building materials and a subsidiary of Mercer International Inc., has announced the completion of a key role in the construction of Walmart’s new Home Office in Bentonville, Ark.—the largest mass timber corporate campus in the U.S. The installation of Mercer mass timber panels began in spring 2024 and is now complete.

Shawmut Design and Construction and Layton Construction selected MMT to provide cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam) 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 sq. ft. 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 sq. ft.

Mercer Conway, located in Conway, Ark., supplied a total of 21,000 m3 of CLT and glulam.

“This project showcases how mass timber can transform commercial construction,” comments Nick Milestone, SVP at Mercer Mass Timber. “We’re proud to support Walmart’s sustainability vision and demonstrate how local, eco-friendly materials create beautiful, high-performance workplaces.”

“This marks the completion of our first major mass timber contract, but it’s just the beginning,” adds Ricardo Brites, Director of Engineering & VDC at MMT. “We look forward to leading more projects that showcase mass timber’s potential.”
