Objective

Branding is becoming increasingly central to the evolution of branch banking. A physical branch is a vital touchpoint in creating an emotional connection with its customers. It offers a unique opportunity to reinforce a bank’s brand in ways online banking simply can’t. And Huntington Bank is at the forefront of creating engaging, distinctive, and memorable "branded environments." They envisioned a branch that would be more than just a place to conduct transactions; it needed to be a true customer experience center reflecting their unique brand image. This required meticulous attention to every detail that would embody Huntington’s brand and branch design standards.

​

Challenge

The PMG team embraced the challenge, taking on everything from demolition to the build-out of a vibrant customer lobby, modern offices, and collaborative workspaces. PMG was responsible for ensuring every architectural and interior design element was perfectly executed. The use of strong brand colors, specialty lighting, custom ceiling design, distinctive furnishings, and unique architectural features reflected Huntington Bank’s high standards and expectations.

​

Solution

PMG committed to delivering the project on time, within budget, and to the highest design standards. This meant proactively addressing a variety of challenges, including how best to navigate tight schedules, procurement lead times, and unforeseen site conditions, among other hurdles. Permit and inspection delays are a common project roadblock, especially with design changes. But as a local Colorado contractor, PMG’s deep familiarity with local permitting procedures and protocols proved invaluable, ensuring expedited processes to meet client expectations. What truly set the project apart was PMG’s unwavering commitment to “doing what it takes” to ensure project success.
