Mass timber achieves ‘firsts’ in three more markets

Swinerton proudly contributes to advancing mass timber construction through its work on Live Oak Bank’s new Wilmington, North Carolina headquarters. This 67,000-square-foot, four-story project is the region’s first building to feature a 100% mass timber structural system, combining innovative engineering with sustainable design. Swinerton’s Timberlab fabricated the Southern Yellow Pine components, adding efficiency and aesthetic value to the construction process.

Through strong collaboration with architects and virtual design tools, Swinerton and its partners are setting a new standard for future mass timber projects. Read on to learn how this project optimizes building performance, reduces environmental impact, and exemplifies the forward-thinking approaches driving the industry.
