1st National Bank – West Ames

Location: Ames, Iowa
Completion Date: October 20, 2015
Project Size: 3,300 sq. ft.
Abstract:

1st National Bank’s original Campustown branch bank location was scheduled to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use development project.

Located on a high-traffic-count site, the project marked a new direction for the bank. This building was the first of their branches to be designed around a lower staff count and was planned to utilize remote teller machines for a majority of transactions. The lobby accommodates customers with two tellers at a walk-up teller line and a separate workstation for opening new accounts. Customers can also access their accounts at a cafe height table workstation or at the interactive teller machine which is accessible in an after-hours lobby. Drive-up service is provided by another interactive teller machine that is located on the east side of the building.

A small conference room, break room, restroom and workroom are located on the first floor, while mechanical and storage functions are housed in the lower level.
