As a non-profit organization, the Wisconsin Bankers Association (WBA) serves as a resource and advocate for Wisconsin’s banking industry. With an average staff tenure of 20+ years, WBA’s leadership established a clear focus on retaining current staff, but also attracting new talent. An updated, modernized office space was a critical step in accomplishing that goal.
New flooring, paint, lighting, ceilings, and casework on all three floors of the existing building were aligned with the WBA brand and created a fresh, clean, and inviting aesthetic. The planning for the project was driven by the need for training space so that on site training, classes, and seminars could be provided to WBA’s members. To accommodate the 3,000 s.f. needed for these spaces, open offices were standardized at a smaller footprint of 8’x8’ and reconfigured for a more efficient layout. As an extension of the training spaces, the lower level break area was opened to the corridor and fully remodeled to include new kitchen space as well as new furniture with a variety of seating types to support small and large group interactions. With a more open and flexible plan concept, the remodeled space will extend the life of WBA’s building for years to come.
