As one of the most environmentally polluting economic areas, the construction sector is on the path of rapid transformation to a more climateneutral sector. New materials and technologies are being sought that could be applied in construction processes in order to ensure energy efficiency, resource savings, lower costs, and the durability of buildings. The transition to sustainable construction is underway, and the aim is to use natural and environmentally friendly building materials for the construction of new public buildings. The research aimed to analyse the opportunities of developing wooden public buildings in Lithuania. The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis technique was applied for this purpose. Analysis revealed that the development of wooden public buildings has many strengths and opportunities. Wooden buildings positively impact the climate and human health; the construction of such buildings is faster than construction using other materials; construction costs are reduced; and the carbon footprint is minimized. The use of wood as a naturally renewable raw material ensures the compliance with the principles of the circular economy. The development of wooden production factories in Lithuania ensures the creation of new jobs and the absorption of EU investments. Support from EU funds enables workers to acquire relevant qualifications and thus compensate for the lack of skilled labour in the country. Even in the presence of restrictions on the height of buildings, the wide possibilities of wooden architecture do not create obstacles for low-rise construction in Lithuania. In addition, wood can be used in combination with other materials, like steel and concrete; thus, hybrid buildings can be built. It can be assumed that the construction of wooden public buildings will significantly expand in the future. The Lithuanian government is now drafting regulations that would require all future public buildings to be at least 50% built of natural materials.
