BROOKS BRANCH
Clearwater Credit Union
Clearwater Credit Union is undergoing a brand transformation. As a co-op, Clearwater invites its members to ‘Belong” and “Be a Force for Good”. As a part of this transformation, Clearwater wanted to change the way that their members participate in banking. Offering transparency, inclusivity and empowerment in banking, the transformation of an old branch bank into a 21st century banking experience mirrored these values and were the driving force behind the design decisions.
Every aspect was carefully considered with the Credit Union’s mission in mind, from the decision to re-use an existing building to the local sourcing of the wood siding and interior trim to the electric mechanical systems and PV array. The building is slated to be LEED Silver and net-zero.
