The ability to start with a small staff and accommodate growth was a driving factor in the layout of this efficient 4,250 sq. ft. facility. Having designed the credit union's Ada, Michigan headquarters, Daniels and Zermack created this attractive new building to provide a presence in the growing Lowell community nearby. Because of limited main office space, the building and site were laid out to allow a significant addition that could house the operations staff.
The full-service credit union has several private offices and a conference room. The spacious lobby features an Internet café area, a waiting space with children's area, and four teller stations. The five-lane drive-up area has two equipped lanes, two future lanes, and an ATM lane.
Special marketing measures introduced by the designers include placing marketing video monitors in the teller and waiting areas, a custom-designed Internet café and coffee area, and placement of the credit union's logo in the floor tile of the lobby, on the wall behind the teller stations, and in the glass above the entry door.
