First National Bank of Hutchinson

GROWTH OBJECTIVE: First National Bank of Hutchinson, a community bank headquartered in Hutchinson, Kansas, desired to continue its long-standing alliance with its retail partner, Dillons, and relocated its existing in-store branch into the new Marketplace store. The new location would double the size of their existing branch, and FSI was brought on board to design and build a functional floor plan suited for an enhanced customer experience.

FSI SOLUTION: Because of the existing relationship with Dillons, FSI was quick to move on a design plan and installation for the new in-store branch. As it was important to the bank to offer two private offices and open areas for branch traffic, FSI strategically utilized the additional space to support the branch goals and service the customers.

Innovative Features

1. Detached Four-Person Teller Pod: With the appearance of a traditional teller-line, the detached teller pod is equipped with two automated cash machines flexible enough to accommodate up to four complete teller positions.
2. Digital Signage: High-performance monitors feature a flexible marketing option for the bank to manage and promote their services or promotions.
3. Concealed Work Space: In an effort to maintain a clean, efficient work space, FSI designed a center island behind the teller pod with concealed cabinetry for printers and other everyday office essentials.
4. Finish Upgrades: To create an upscale, contemporary look, the design incorporated finish upgrades such as quartz countertops and brushed aluminum laminate.
