WDD Architects partnered with the University of Arkansas to design the J.B. Hunt Transport Services Center for Academic Excellence in Fayetteville. The interdisciplinary academic building brings together programs from the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, Sam M. Walton College of Business and College of Engineering, creating opportunities for collaboration across disciplines. The facility includes general-purpose classrooms, interactive computer spaces, research laboratories and faculty offices.

The J.B. Hunt Transport Services Center brings teams together in a modern workspace designed for teamwork and daily operations. The building features flexible layouts, shared common areas, and advanced technology to help staff connect across departments. Sustainable design elements—including natural heating and cooling, exterior shading, and an under-floor system—keep the building energy-efficient and easy to update as technology needs change.
