Confidential National Bank

Our financial services client continues to transition their organization from a traditional Financial Institution to a FinTech. Their progressive mindset has resulted in the evolution of their corporate design guidelines and kit of parts including the adoption of agile work settings and alternative strategies for executive, client and customer facing areas.

With a clear goal of creating “ever better places that enhance customer and employee experience,” HOK’s journey with their FlexWorkPlace program begun with the roll-out of pilot projects in 2009.

Since then, the design of the various workplace environments has evolved significantly and we continue to collaborate with them to innovate and integrate best in class benchmarks to ensure that our client continues to push the envelope of design.

HOK was also asked to help design a Cyber Security Operations Center. Although they already had these operations in place, they were viewed as independent businesses occupying space in four locations. The intent of this new operation was to bring all four businesses, plus offsite offices, to one location to improve knowledge sharing and collaboration, ultimately predicting, mitigating and resolving breaches of security at record speed.
