The architectural vision behind Walmart’s New Home Office is an instilling of values to be people-led, forward-thinking, and sustainable. The design teams worked together to bring the vision to life, helping boost creativity, efficiency, and transparency for employees to create stronger connections and healthier lifestyles.
Dispersed within 350 acres of native seeded greenery and 15 acres of lakes, the offices comprise more than 2.4 million square feet of mass timber construction spread over 11 timber or hybrid timber office buildings. An additional nine amenity buildings include a fitness center, dining areas, daycare facility, auditorium, and visitor center. The open floor plans in working spaces feature exposed wood to provide warmth and nature that will be enjoyed inside and out.
Regionally sourced materials and state-of-the-art machinery and technologies helped achieve low embodied carbon sustainability targets.

The client’s decision to build with mass timber is a demonstration of its commitment to green building design that is of an unprecedented scale in North America.
The new home office opened in 2025.
