Transformation Center
HOLT and CFCU Community Credit Union worked together to transform two stories of an historic bank building into a vibrant “Transformation Center” incorporating retail banking and administrative offices for it’s employees.
The renovation features an exciting new design and direction for retail banking by strategically selecting and placing technology and furniture throughout the retail space, creating an immersive banking experience for all clients and employees.
Modern design elements, contemporary finishes, lighting, bright colors, glazing, and technology-infused client service areas integrate into and enliven the historic bank hall. Support areas flank the space and include conference rooms, offices, collaboration spaces, and an enclosed outdoor patio. The light-filled mezzanine with executive offices is open to the hall below.
