Anthony Timberlands Center to break ground

September 2022
Blue skies over Fayetteville, Arkansas, where the Anthony Timberlands Center is about to break ground. Meanwhile, back in London, we are hosting Grafton Architects’ physical model, fresh from display in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

We are deep into the fabrication detail design for the timber building, which is an extension to the Fay Jones School of Architecture & Design at the University of Arkansas, USA, and will be a home for applied research into timber and its use in construction.
