While serving the community for over 80 years, First Financial Credit Union (FFCU) has had to adapt alongside its members, their staff, and the ever-evolving marketplace. The main objective of this project was the creation of a new central office and a local banking branch.
The leadership of First Financial had a substantial list of ideas and concepts they wanted to incorporate into this project from the outset. All desires were focused around employee health and safety, accessibility of the staff and patrons, and the need to better serve the community at large.
A consolidated team effort between owner, design team, and the contractor, Enterprise Builders – this project was delivered as a design build contract. The team’s ability to work collaboratively throughout the entire design and construction process allowed for easy adaptation to client needs and wants, a major key to the project’s success.
Having a budget set early and continuous pricing of design concepts and changes supported the leadership team in making durable design decisions that honored project goals.
