The Anthony Timberlands Center for Design and Materials Innovation will be the home for the Fay Jones School's ongoing design-build and graduate programs, collaborative efforts with partners in the state's forest industries, and outreach programs that address critical issues including housing inequality. The Anthony Timberlands Center will be a center for fabrication, research, and development that is constructed significantly from and focused on Arkansas-sourced timber and wood to the greater good of the Arkansas environment and economy. Given its prominence in timber production, the research excellence of its state university system, and the national reputation of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design, the State of Arkansas is uniquely positioned to respond to the local, national, and global trend toward the use of wood in construction and other industries. The Anthony Timberlands Center for Design and Materials Innovation is soliciting bids for Metal Fabrication Tools and Equipment to support it’s newly established Metal Fabrication Lab. The new center will have a focus on fabrication, building and construction. We are seeking solutions to enhance student learning and support faculty research.
