AIA Dayton welcomes
Caleb Tyson
,
AIA
, as a new member! Caleb joined WDD Architects in Little Rock, Arkansas in the summer of 2014 after completing his education at the University of Arkansas Fay Jones School of Architecture. Throughout his time at WDD Architects he has become a licensed Architect and been involved in a variety of projects from start to finish, including education, recreation, corporate headquarters, and worship. Most recently he was involved in several healthcare facilities around the state of Arkansas. This drive with healthcare is particularly interesting to Caleb because his wife, Chelsea, is a doctor at Dayton Children’s Hospital.
“Healthcare design is another way to bring us closer together. It’s fun to discuss the function of buildings she works in and gives me suggestions for our clients,” said Caleb. “We moved to Dayton in June of 2019 with our 3 dogs (Abby, Mosby & Loki) and 2 cats (Prince Charming & Gus Gus). I enjoy running, biking and cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks!”

Surrounded by farmland and with a population of under 10,000 people, the Norwegian town of Brumunddal might seem like an unlikely setting for a record-breaking high-rise.
But soaring above the neighboring Mjøsa lake, more than 100 kilometers north of Oslo, the 280-foot-tall Mjøstårnet tower became the world's tallest timber building when it opened last year.
