SLA is a Self-Certified Small Business
SLA Architects (formerly Secord & Lebow Architects, LLP) is a versatile and talented architectural and interior design firm located in Wichita Falls, Texas. We primarily focus on public and institutional architecture which includes federal, state, and municipal agencies. We also have completed commercial retail properties, healthcare facilities, industrial facilities, banks, churches, and K-12 facilities.
Since inception, SLA has nourished long-term relationships with clients throughout Texas and the entire southwest. As leaders of distinctive yet functional architecture, we provide creative, thoughtful, and efficient designs. We reliably guide the client with the willingness and desire to bring their visions to fruition. We depend on the relationships we grow with our clients, and in turn, our clients learn to depend on us. It is because of these relationships, as well as our commitment to excellent design, that SLA has been able to thrive.
SLA is proud to be a general practice firm having worked on a wide range of small and large scale projects including dormitories/ barracks, administrative/offices facilities, highway rest areas, training facilities, firing ranges, hangars, tank trails, Federal Government Secure Facilities, K-12 schools, athletic complexes and churches. Our projects for federal government agencies range from $150K to $150M and include all project delivery types, such as Design/Build, Design/ Bid/Build RFP Development, Design/ Build RFP Development, Planning Studies, Charrette Reports, Project Definition Reports, and Schematic Plans. We primarily work within the southwestern region but have expanded to the Atlantic coast over the past half-decade, with projects at White Sands Missile Range, NM; Fort Carson, CO; US Air Force Academy at West Point, NY; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Meade, MD; Fort Liberty, NC; and Tyndall AFB, FL.

SLA has served as the Design Manager and is providing architectural/interior design on four phases of renovations to the Hammerhead style barracks at Fort Cavazos on the 10000 Block, with all phases being Design/Build partnerships with Guyco, Inc. as the general contractor. The purpose of these renovations is to improve energy efficiency, mitigate mold growth, and provide a better living environment for our nation’s soldiers that will last the next twenty-plus years.
Phase I includes five barracks (B10009, B10010, B10011, B10016 and B10018) and totals 235,000sf in interior/ exterior shell renovations. This project also includes upgrades and renovations to CEP B10017.
Phase II includes two barracks (B10005 and B10007) and totals 94,000sf in interior/exterior shell renovation.
Phase III includes four barracks (B10001, B10002, B10003, and B10004) and totals approximately 190,000sf in interior/exterior shell renovation.
Phase IV includes three barracks (B10020, B10021, and B10022) and totals approximately 140,000sf in interior/ exterior shell renovation.
These renovations include renovations of the Arms Vault and supply support storage for TA-50 gear in the basements and includes a Company Operations Faciilty on the first floor. The projects will replace and upgrade the buildings’ entire exterior envelope, balcony breezeway soffits, roof, interior dwelling spaces (barracks), administrative spaces (COFs), laundry rooms, dayrooms, storage rooms and utility spaces. Other aspects of the renovation include site grading / drainage upgrades, replacement of sidewalks, parking lot striping, dumpster pads, dumpster enclosures, lighting, and landscaping.
Each Dwelling Unit is designed for dual occupancy and will have a central entry/circulation/dining area along with two bedrooms with an adjacent walk-in closet in each bedroom. For occupancy considerations, there are a total of twenty-eight Dwelling Units with two residents per dwelling unit which equates to fifty-six residents per building.

Hurricane Michael decimated the majority of Tyndall AFB in October 2018. The Air Force has since made it a mission to design “The Base of the Future” which is estimated to be a $4B complete re-build. As part of the reconstruction efforts, SLA and the 4KG/ACC JV team were awarded this Special Purpose Vehicle Maintenance Facility.
The 8,200sf building is designed around the four vehicle bays. Supporting storage rooms for tool and spare parts, hazardous material, hazardous waste, and other items are located on one end of the building, while administrative spaces along with restrooms, mechanical, electrical, and telecom support spaces are located on the other end of the building. The architectural style and design elements were established in the preparation of the RFP and confirmed to meet the Installation Facility Standards, USACE standards, and User requirements. The Facility is located adjacent at the southwest corner of the existing Refueler Complex at the west-end of Fuels Road. A new circulation drive will run along the existing western fence line with the main building site located partially within the open space of the Refueler Complex.
This facility is used to store vehicles and to perform maintenance on them. These vehicles are used for fuel transport, such as JP-8 and diesel fuel. Included are four drive-through maintenance bays for the twenty-seven active R111 refueling vehicles on base. Support spaces include an administrative private office, a management and administrative open office, a break room, restroom, a safety aisle, space for hazardous material and hazardous waste, IAP storage, and mechanical support spaces. One bay is equipped with a 80,000lb-vehicle lift.

SLA recently submitted the 65% Design submittal for this project that is set to be complete by March of 2024. Building 6380 is a 40,800sf, one-story structure with a 9,600sf occupied basement under the middle portion of the building. The building was originally constructed as an off-post, multi-tenant strip center. The Fort Bliss boundary was later expanded and this facility was converted to administrative use. The public side of the building façade (east side) was upgraded, as part of that renovation, with a stucco finish and window/glazing replacement, which are still present to this day.
The design will convert the southern half (approximately 18,000sf) to a Judicial Center with two courtrooms. Site improvements include necessary parking arrangements for Judicial Centers and access drive to the building. The design for the Judicial center shall incorporate the prescribed items for a facility renovation in accordance with the COS Army Standard for a Judicial Center, to the degree possible within an existing facility, and with input and coordination between the COS for Judicial Centers and the customer. Building systems will be upgraded to meet Judicial Center standards including an interior remodel as well as HVAC, Electrical, Lighting, Communications, Security Systems, Plumbing, and Fire Protection.
Project design is ongoing with full government review and on schedule to meet the December deadline for the Corrected Final Design. SLA will then provide final Solicitation documents to USACE and assist in the bidding process through award which is anticipated to be March 2024.

In November of 2020, SLA+Cyntergy JV was awarded a task order to renovate the Child Develoment Center, Bldg 53 at Altus AFB to comply with Draft FC 4-740-14 and all relevant IBCs, NFPAs and UFCs, including 1-20001 and 4-010-01. The design will upgrade the facility to be a child-oriented, developmentally appropriate, environmentally sensitive and functional childcare facility for the family of all military and civilian employees and retirees.
Bldg 53 is the only facility on base that meets the requirements of a childcare center. Therefore, working alongside the CDC Director and conferring with Air Force Services Center (AFSVC), this project will be constructed through four phases while remaining as an operational facility.
The CDC provides childcare services for infants through school-aged children for the military men and women on base. Spaces include several Child Activity Rooms for various age groups. The child activity rooms each include diaper changing and toilet areas, food preparation areas, and storage rooms. Supporting areas include administrative offices, reception area, storage spaces, kitchen, and building support rooms.
Scope items include upgrades to HVAC, fire protection, plumbing, communications, and electrical systems as well as interior finishes, outdoor fencing, landscaping, security and ATFP. Project also includes an ICC 500 comliance community storm shelter. Due to the unforeseen requirement by the owner to include the price of a storm shelter in the IGE, the project was ultimately put on hold for over a year. The SLA+Cyntergy JV team received the new NTP in January of 2023.

SLA has designed two separate phases of the H-Frames Renovation at Fort Cavazos, both through the Design/ Build project delivery method. Phase I was the 9200 Block H-Frame Barracks with Engineering Design Technologies (EDT) as the General Contractor. The four buildings were originally four separate task orders competed on, and awarded to, EDT through their Fort Worth District Corps of Engineers Small Business MATOC that were then grouped under one task order number. SLA Architects provided architectural services to EDT’s team. Phase II was the 14000 Block H-Frame Barracks with Guyco, Inc. as the General Contractor, which included four buildings under one task order.
The purpose of the renovations to these barracks is to improve energy efficiency, mitigate mold growth and provide a better living environment for the soldiers that will last for the next twenty-five years. Phase I consisted of the complete interior and exterior renovation of Barracks B9210, B9211, B9213 and B9214 along with a Central Energy Plant upgrades for 112 soldiers. Phase II consisted of the complete interior and exterior renovation of Barracks B14019, B14020, B14022 and B14023 for 112 soldiers. In selective demolition of the barracks, all interior spaces were gutted in the structure except at the COF areas which received patch and repair. The utilities were removed with the exception of provisions for general lighting.
These renovations provide living quarters for 224 soldiers with a typical living suite arranged for two soldiers per suite with individual bedrooms and closets along with shared bathroom, kitchen and common space.
Other improvements consisted of providing a new fire protection system with an approved automatic sprinkler system; re-mediating major uneven floor slab settlement issues on the first floor of the barracks buildings; minimizing vapor transmission through the building envelope, improving energy efficiency, providing dehumidified make-up air to provide proper space relative humidity, sealing of building envelope to minimize infiltration; and providing consistent and proper chilled water supply temperatures.

The Objective for the Planning Charrette Report (PCR) was to analyze B87 for renovation to better accommodate the 97th Training Squadron, Education Center and others as well as to better house training and administrative operations.
SLA+Cyntergy JV was awarded this contract as a singleaward solicitation. Building 87 is a three-story facility and was originally constructed in 1986 with some updates/ renovations throughout the years. Our scope included replacing the roof system and all windows; remodeling the third floor layout; renovating interior finishes, lighting and bathroom fixtures throughout. The project also replaces the fire detection, notification and suppression systems. The goal is to provide a single facility capable of housing all current residents, maintaining the existing swing space and allowing productive use of the training/ classroom and squadron operations space.
After notice-to-proceed, the SLA+Cyntergy JV team held a kick-off conference call then visited the site for asbuilt confirmation and data collection. Then a two-day charrette at Altus AFB in June of 2020 was conducted and attended both in-person and virtually by the design team and Altus members due to the COVID pandemic. Total period of performance was 55 days.

SLA has served as the Designer of Record on two phases of renovations to the Rolling Pin style barracks at Fort Cavazos, with both phases being Design/Build partnerships with Guyco, Inc., the general contractor. The purpose of these renovations is to improve energy efficiency, mitigate mold growth, and provide a better living environment for our nation’s soldiers that will last the next twenty-plus years.
Phase I included five barracks on the 12000 Block (B12003, B12004, B12006, B12008 and B12009) and totaled 255,000sf in interior/exterior shell renovations. Phase II also included five barracks, but on the 16000 Block (B16003, B16004, B16006, B16008, and B16009) that total approximately 245,000sf. These buildings are each three-stories above grade with a mechanical room located in the basement level. Three of the barracks on each site have an Arms Vault room, also located in the basement.

This project is new construction through the Design/ Build project delivery method with SLA as the prime design firm and 4KG/ACC JV as the general contractor. The objective is to design and construct a quality SOF Support Battalion Administration Facility which includes the Support Battalion and Charlie Company’s Headquarters. The new building is a single-story structure with a gross square footage of 39,915sf for 66 persons. The program of spaces is for the following functions: Battalion Command Suite, HHD Commander, S-1 Suite, S-3 Suite, S-4 Offices, Chaplain Suite, Supply Room, Printer Room, Secure Document Storage, Life Cycle Storage, Breakroom, Building Services and Circulation.
This admin facility required a Structural Interior Design (SID) package which included the building interior and exterior finishes, interior and exterior signage, millwork, and window treatments. Though LEED certification was not required, the project did require completion of the Army’s High Performance and Sustainable Design Record Card. Special consideration was provided for NIPR/SIPR requirements. The security for the NIPR and SIPR rooms proved to be a challenge in order to incorporate multiple companies within the same complex while being in accordance with the latest editions of the security standards. We were able to provide the necessary separation of the companies and levels of security through close coordination with the Design/Build Team, USACE and the User(s).
Design for this project was fast-tracked utilizing two volumes, one for Site, Civil, Structural and Landscaping, and the other volume as Architectural, Envelope, MEP, Fire Protection and Communications.

SLA Architects was the architectural and interiors consultant on this project for the Fort Worth District US Army Corps of Engineers on the Kenall/Freese and Nichols JV team. The goal of the project is to consolidate the current insufficient and scattered worship and educational facilities into one well-planned, welldesigned area. The new building(s) should inspire spirituality and be welcoming for all trainees at JBSALackland AFB and will serve as a place of spiritual respite for all trainees during their stay.
Our task was to develop the Planning Charrette Report, Level II which documents the validation of programming and initial budget for the Chapel for America’s Airmen at Joint-Base San Antonio in Lackland AFB. The facility must accommodate nineteen separate religions while respecting the traditions of each but not giving more significance than any other. The Chapel Center & Ed/ Admin facility totaled 86,977sf and featured a 10,370sf canopy. The proposed design provides worship spaces, administrative and religious educational classrooms for the great variety of religious groups that attend the Basic Military Trainee (BMT) program at JBSA-Lackland AFB.
The challenge was to design an “architecturally significant building” that would serve as a showcase location on base “similar to the US Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel” in Colorado Springs, CO. With no budgetary numbers given at notice-to-proceed, we provided a cost estimate based on other significant buildings such as the Perot Museum in Dallas, TX and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. The initial budget came in at $150M, which well exceeded the government’s preliminary costing analysis. Through an intensive week-long charrete at Lackland AFB with the full Project Delivery Team on site, we engaged with the nineteen different religions who required both worship and educational space to determine their space requirements and special needs (which were abundant). After the charrette, we returned back to the office and developed a new program that provided a slightly less “architecturally significant” facility, but that still met all user needs and had an initial cost estimate of $49M.

SLA Architects was the architectural and interiors consultant on this project for the Fort Worth District US Army Corps of Engineers on the Kenall/Freese and Nichols JV team. The team completed this renovation design project for approximately 99,843 SF of the Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities (TEMFs).
The purpose of this project was to bring each TEMF Complex (B17047, B38053, B44012 and B26014) as close as possible to the current standard design, to make the facilities more functional to allow units to meet mission requirements, and to achieve a longer useful life for the legacy TEMF facilities. The design called for consolidation of core functions which welcomes the opportunity for additional high bay spaces to be carved out the existing bay wings. For the facilities to accommodate the new 10-ton bridge crane, a selected bay is enlarged to the standard minimum width. New high-bay building structures were designed to fit within the confines of the current facility to support the new cranes and to raise the eave height to the standard minimum.
The design utilized the findings and guidance in the TEMF Legacy Facilities Renovation Study, dated 26 February 2013, Revision 1.0 dated 6 May 2013 and DA Facilities Standardization Program, Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities (TEMF) Standard Design UFC 4-214-02 dated 24 March 2015.

SLA provided architectural support to Gensler for this USACE design/build project, which is a major transformation and renovation of an existing, onestory, 11,700sf modular building built in 2006 for use as a Battalion Headquarters. The new clinical facility supports the mission of the Falcon TMC to provide medical services to active duty assigned to the Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB).
The facility’s modular structure supports a spatial configuration optimized for a new clinical accommodation, which is defined by the circulation corridors for ease of access and flexibility within the facility. The reception desk is positioned as the gate-way for all patients entering the clinic, as well as Behavioral Health, and is the touch point when exiting. This area has direct access to the public restrooms and the wheelchair alcove and is the on-stage hub for services for the Primary Care Clinic, the Behavioral Health Clinic, Physical Therapy Clinic, Phlebotomy, and the Hearing and Vision Clinic. The Behavioral Health Clinic is its own separate suite and is located off the main waiting area and has direct access to an existing exterior egress door as part of the “escape corridor”. The floor plan visually defines the on-stage areas and the off-stage areas optimizing the facility operational spaces by grouping the departments and their programmed functions.
Building services are centrally located (communications room, administration spaces, copy and record rooms, soiled and clean services, and the waste recycling room) in the offstage areas for ease of access for staff. The staff lounge and toilets, janitor’s closet and equipment storage and supply are located near the staff and service entry.

SLA served as the Architect for this Design/Build project with Guyco, Inc. It consisted of the design of two SACON Villages for Fort Johnson, Louisiana - Objective Span and Objective Tarantula. With a construction value over $10 million, both sites provide various training scenarios which accurately depict the harsh realities of the combat environment in an urban centric Live-Fire Mount Facility. Ballistic concrete is utilized for construction due to its non-ricocheting, non-fragmenting, bullet-trapping capabilities that are not only safe and environmentallyfriendly, but also designed to ensure high-quality, realistic training for today’s war fighter. The Objective Span site contains twenty-six Ballistic Concrete structures, while the Objective Tarantula site has nine.
With a very limited construction time of 270 days and both sites located in a live fire range area, Ballistic Concrete panels were fabricated and stored off site at a temporary manufacturing plant just south of Fort Johnson and then shipped directly to the sites for erection. The Ballistic Concrete fabricator and erector was Amidon-Verus.

This Safety Rest Area is located on both sides of Interstate Highway 10 in Culberson County which is roughly ten miles east of Van Horn, Texas. Each site features one main visitor building (8700sf) consisting of a bank of restrooms and anchored by a lobby with exhibit space, and one stand-alone restroom building (2700sf), one play area with a canopy structure, multiple picnic arbors, and a network of concrete walking trails.
Due to the nature of the site, the architectural theme revolves heavily around the expansive desert landscape and voluminously star-filled night skies. The main visitor buildings are elevated on the mesa which allows the motorists to venture upwards toward a higher perspective as they approach the buildings. The buildings then continue to escalate in height, directing the public toward views that encapture Guadalupe Peak (75 miles away) and the surrounding desert terrain. The main lobby wall is angled to toward the mountain views to lead visitors to an open air observation deck where they can experience the arid environment and vast views. Lobby materials include durable terrazzo flooring to mimic the desert sand, clear finished maple wood slat ceiling like the ceiling of the adobe huts that once stood in its place, plaster finished walls, and exposed steel structure.

Both middle schools saw an increase in student enrollment as the School Board voted to close a different middle school campus. This resulted in an increase of roughly 400 students to each campus. The additions included new classrooms, kitchens, locker and dressing rooms, and fine arts areas.
SLA, along with Perkins + Will, provided the Opinion of Probable Cost and worked together (along with the school district personnel) to develop the public presentation package to inform the community of the proposed changes. The bond was voted on and passed in May of 2015.
We then provided the construction drawings and specs. At the outset, the District established and acknowledged very tight budgets and schedules. Our assigned task was to meet both of these restraints. To fast-track the design process, we split the design into three packages for both campuses, which allowed work to proceed prior to the completion of the architectural drawings. The three packages were: Site - Civil Package, the Structural & Site Work Package, and the Architectural & MEP Package. Currently, both projects are on schedule and are under budget. Due to the nature and fast-track method being utilized, construction contingency funds were established for both projects to expedite changes in the work.

SLA Architects was contracted in 2012 by the Iowa Park Consolidated Independent School District to provide master planning and design services for their High School and Athletic Complex renovations. This Bond Package is divided into two major areas of work. The first is the complete renovation of the Athletic Complex. Built in the early 1970s, the existing Hawk Stadium and Athletic Complex is s source of pride for the citizens of Iowa Park. Facilities were brought up to current standards while providing an improved image and function for the long-term future. Project includes new stadium bleacher seating, stadium athletic turf, eight-lane competition track, field lighting, press box, restroom/concession building, 15,000 SF field house, and concession/restroom building for baseball/softball complex. Hawk Stadium accounted for approximately $10M.
The second area of work was the exterior renovation of the main high school campus which ties the main building and several existing additions together to make a cohesive design and provides an improved image for the future. The exterior facade renovations and auditorium renovation account for approximately $2.7M.
This $14.7M Bond Election is part of the District’s long term facilities plan. The next phase will include the construction of a new high school and renovation of the interior of the existing high school to serve as the new home for the Middle School.

Base Camp Lindsey is a 14,000sf facility located at 1908 6th Street in Wichita Falls, Texas. The building was originally constructed in 1969 as a nursing home and was recently purchased by a non-profit organization to be used as a living space for homeless veterans.
Periodically, SLA will team with a local non-profit to provide our services in- kind. In the past, we have designed projects for the Junior League - Miracle Field and the Wichita County Sheriff’s Office’s Memorial Monument. Most recently, we chose to work with Base Camp Lindsey to aid in their pursuit of providing housing for homeless veterans in our community. Helping to provide shelter for homeless veterans in and around Wichita Falls is a mission we are proud to support.
SLA provided a Facility Condition Assessment and Code Study based on our review of the existing site and multiple conversations with the BCL board which also included the initial submission of limited-scope design drawings. After the initial package, we made various revisions to the drawings set and have completed 100% signed/sealed drawings divided into two volumes - one for demolition and one for construction. Also provided by SLA were concept renderings that BCL has used in social media and print to give the public a sense of the future for this building.
SLA will continue to provide marketing services to BCL as the need arises. Once complete, Base Camp Lindsey will not only provide free room and board for homeless veterans but will also provide them with necessary training and transportation to enter the workforce again.

SLA was contracted to provide design concepts for the revitilazation of the full campus for River Bend Nature Center in Wichita Falls. The purpose of the revitilization efforts will create classroom spaces, interactive exhibits, live exhibit space, and a learning lab within the Conservatory; reprogram space within the Learning Center to add additional interactive educational space; add a covered walkway between the Pavillion and the Learning Center; and upgrade the building envelope of the Conservatory to improve energy efficiency. These renovations will begin once River Bend Nature Center reaches their capital improvement fundraising goal.
The original $5.2M project was completed in August of 2008 and included phasing of the design over a three year period. The highlight was the $3.3m Butterfly Conservatory, a 7,500sf facility that attracts the eye of motorists near downtown Wichita Falls and sits on a hill overlooking Lucy Park. The $1.4m, 6,000sf Pavilion features an educational exhibit space and also houses administration, conference center, display areas, and support. Two acres of the surrounding land was also developed and provides a large open plaza with handicapped accessible walkway systems linking the facility to Lucy Park and the Wichita River below.
The Butterfly Conservatory provides a distinctive, educational experience and is a major attraction to the North Texas Area. The entire environmental education facility serves the communities of north Texas and southern Oklahoma. Uniquely placed in a conflux of geographical regions, River Bend connects people to their natural environment through educational activities, environmental awareness, and conservation examples. This project was designed for a non-profit Public Client and was funded by public grants and donations.

The Museum of the Great Plains underwent a major renovation of both the main entry lobby and the exhibit space. SLA Architects was contracted to redesign the 2800sf lobby area to include a museum store, benefactor displays, and queue space for visiting guests. The lobby acts as a transition through the facility as the guests enter the main entry and venture into the exhibit space.
The museum provides a “hands-on” environment to its visitors and the lobby renovation compliments this experience with its use of natural materials and linear forms. Wood finishes on the ceilings and in the details of the space along with some industrial touches harken the melding of past and present. Natural light is infused throughout allowing the lobby to grow beyond its footprint.
After completion of the lobby redesign, SLA was contracted to design the renovations to the 4400sf LDM Hall, which included a reception hall, offices, breakroom, and toilets. The new design and finishes compliment the existing entry lobby with the existing fire sprinkler system extended.

Oil States Industries, Inc. produces hundreds of custom metal and molded rubber products for use in the oil industry, both domestically and internationally. The 42,000sf warehouse project primarily houses a large open area for storage of manufactured products. Within the space, 16’ high storage racks are arranged for maximum efficiency. Also included in the project is a chemical storage room, administration offices, break/ training room, shipping docks and support areas.
The Interior spaces were metal stud and gypsum wall board with tile finished in restroom areas. Metal liner panels were used on the warehouse side of separation partitions. Bollards and railings were placed to separate employee areas from the warehouse for safety.
Due to the nature of the site with elevation changes of 12’, a special ramp system was designed to transport products form the existing manufacturing facility to the new warehouse. Sitework was extensive in preparing the building pad, site utilities and infrastructure. Vehicle parking, truck parking, shipping docks, fire lane roads, and water detention were all designed to accommodate the warehouse and the future planned Phase II expansion.
This project was the result of an intensive study completed by SLA in 2010 to provide design criteria, concepts and opinions of probable cost to aid in the determination for the short and long range goals for the Oil States Industries Lampasas Plant.

SLA designed the renovations of a vacant bank into a new branch location for Legend Bank. The facility sits near the corner of Fairway and Kell Freeway. The project consisted of the complete renovation of approximately 2,340sf and included a new addition of approximately 1,400sf. Existing banking equipment was able to be utilized including the tube feeder system at the drive thru and the existing vault. The roof was replaced with a new TPO system. The building also received all new HVAC, lighting, power, security and plumbing systems. Sitework included the addition of new pavement areas and replacement of selected pavement areas, landscaping, site lighting and signage.
The interior space matches the color pallet already established by Legend Bank. A welcoming, open-space lobby greets patrons of the bank as they approach the teller counter. Wood trim and flooring complements the exterior façade. Five offices and a conference room were included in the layout of the building which was designed with considerations for a future expansion.
The exterior of the building reflects a modern hill country look with ‘wood’ siding and stone veneer. The original bank building form was a square box. A main entrance tower was added to the building in order to add interest and indicate entry. A low-sung canopy with stone columns shades the aluminum storefront entrance inviting members into the building. The rest of the building is clad in low maintenance manufactured stone and aluminum ‘wood-looking’ siding. The choice of materials was important to help reduce the bank’s exterior maintenance requirement. Awnings over east facing windows help to eliminate morning glare and add to the hill country look of the building. The existing drive through canopy was re-clad in matching materials to tie it into the new finishes on the building.

Rolling Meadows is over 25 years old and was in dire need of a fresh, updated look. Elements such as outdated carpet, fabric canopies and metal stairs dated the space. The initial scope included adding warm wood elements, updating the finishes and opening the dining room. Prior to the renovation, the Atrium lacked focus and direction. Relocating the Reception to the primary entrance allowed for more functional flow and clear wayfinding through the Lobby giving the Atrium a “Mainstreet” atmosphere. The space was completely transformed by cladding the existing columns, metal stair and railing in a traditional wood profile, as well as by tying the space together with a wainscot. All final finish selections, furniture and décor were chosen by Rolling Meadows staff, allowing them to take great ownership in deciding how the finished product should look.
Amenities in the renovated Atrium include The Royal Perk coffee bar, Dining Room, Communication Center, computer access with internet, Game Room and Knight Cap sports bar. The previously dark Dining Room received updated finishes, lighting and lost a few restricting walls allowing for a more functional layout. It is now open, airy and elegant, seating more residents without restricting maneuverability. All of the new venues are located in the Atrium which is the main area of the facility and is open 24/7.
