Contruction of Ghidorzi’s latest design build project is underway with the new Investors Community Bank office in Stevens Point. Ghidorzi is the architect, general contractor and interior designer for the 13,184 square foot facility, which is scheduled to open late this fall in the Portage County Business Park.
“The building design captures the spirit of Investors Community Bank, which is a testament to the close collaboration between their leadership and the Ghidorzi design team,” commented Chris Ghidorzi, VP of Property Development for Ghidorzi Companies. The influence of the agricultural sector on the bank’s growth as well as the longevity, financial strength and support of the bank will come to life in the new facility. Building features include a dramatic vaulted ceiling, stone fire place and antique vault door that will pay tribute to the heritage of the banking industry.
The lower level of the building will include a 1,100 square foot meeting room adjacent to a full kitchen that will also serve as a community resource for nonprofit and civic groups to use. Green features will be an integral part of the project, which incorporates Lean building principles that eliminate waste so that all work adds value and serves the needs of the bank and its customers. LED lighting will be used inside and out, an air tight spray foam will envelope the building to significantly enhance energy efficiency and regulate temperature, and high ceilings as well as tall windows throughout the building will optimize daylighting.
Keeping future development in mind, the building design will include flexibility for expansion to accommodate bank growth.
