The new Associated Bank Downer Avenue Branch sets the design standard for all future branches for this major Wisconsin institution.  Complex mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, and security systems are coordinated into a highly designed environment.  As the first branch office completed by Associated Bank in more than 5 years, the high-profile nature of the project required a creative yet disciplined design process involving and coordinating multiple executives and departments within this large organization to quickly arrive at simple, functional, and elegant design solutions.
