Walmart's new 350-acre Home Office campus in Bentonville, Arkansas, marks a significant shift in corporate design, emphasizing sustainability and community integration.
The campus, designed by Gensler, features 25 modular buildings that prioritize natural light and employee well-being.
It incorporates the largest mass timber project in the U.S., promoting sustainability with locally sourced materials.
The landscape, designed by SWA Group, includes 750,000 native plants, creating a regenerative environment.
Walmart aims to connect the campus with Bentonville's urban fabric, including bike paths and public spaces.
Architectural design is now a key aspect of Walmart's identity, reflecting its commitment to the region and its employees.
As the campus nears completion, it is expected to house 15,000 employees and foster a vibrant community atmosphere, blending work and nature.
