The term bank is several centuries old and is used to designate financial institutions which accept deposits and grant loans.
"Banks are the store keepers and guardians of money whose role it is to ensure that the lifeblood of commerce continues to flow." Banks exist to make a profit for their owners by provid ing services for their customers. The most important service is security. The bank is a place where the customer's money is safe.
The functions of commercial banking and the application of the fundamental principles of the depositor-bank relations- ship have remained virtually unchanged since approximately
500 B. C. At that time, Athenian bankers accepted gold and silver coin or bullion from one person to another.^
Bank operation methods and procedures have endured a con stant process of evolution because of economic growth, the increasing volume of various transactions, and the greater use of banking facilities.
Another major service provided by banks is the means of making payments. This is a procedure which is carried out through the check system; a system which is economical and secure. Banks also loan money. They not only lend it to individuals, but to companies, the state, and even governments. A large range of supporting services are also provided by banks. These include deposit accounts (on which customers can obtain a small rate of interest), time accounts, which offer better rates on larger sums left for longer periods, and many other methods of advancing money. They can provide for eign currency, travellers* checks, and credit cards. Advice on such matters as income tax, executor and trustee affairs,
investments and buying or selling stock and shares can also
be obtained from a bank. MAJOR BANKS OF LUBBOCK

6 HISTORY OF LUBBOCK
The initial settlement of Lubbock and the South Plains was the result of the westward expansion of farming and ranching activities across the Southwest. The merger of two town in 1891 formed a single unincorporated town in a new location which became the seat of Lubbock County. After the turn of the century, cotton production was introduced into the area. This supplemented the primary crop of grain sorghum, and brought about an increased need for transportation connections to established markets. This resulted, in 1901, with the establishment of a railroad connection.--^
The establishment of Texas Technological College in the mid-1920's provided a diversifications of the local economy.
Agricultural production was beginning to mechanize, contributing to the development of manufacturing in the area. The Depression in the early thirties temporarily interrupted economic expansion, but by 1940, economic activities had regaind their former rate of growth. The area had a flourishing economy made up largely of agriculture, trade, manufacturing, construction, and a major educational facility.
Post war growth was propelled by rapid and wide spread use of irrigation, which had extraordinary effects on acreage yield.
Petroleum exploration, discovery and production diversified and expanded economic activity in the region. Growth within and diversification around these elements has been the moving force behind the continued development of the
Lubbock area.
Agriculture remains the most dominant economic activity in the Lubbock region. Retail and wholesale sales and employ ment continue to climb upward. This is accompanied by some shifting of sales activity away from the downtown area.
Manufacturing and construction remain strong and vital contri butors to the local economy.
Student enrollment and employment in Lubbock's higher education facilities show signs of levelling off from the form erly vigorous rates of growth. This rate of growth should be elevated again by the increased development of the medical school and proposed veterinarian program.
Through the years, Lubbock has become an important center of trade. This included both wholesale and retail. Lubbock is also the manufacturing and warehousing center for a large area of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Still, agriculture along with related supporting industries and education have j been the lifeblood of the economy for many years. This div ersity has allowed for the rapid expansion of the economy and in turn, the increase in population.

MAP ill Population Change 19 70 - J^8 0 FIG. 3 11 source; Lubbock ComprehensiY'^ T>1«.. rt^ SJ T7 JIJ The population of Lubbock is projectSdd to increase.
Historically, population change in Lubbock County has been great ly influenced by the net gain from migration of individuals and family groups. This inward movement added to a vigorous natural increase (the difference between births and deaths) has produced a substantial positive population change in the county.(fig. 1)
By 1970, the net migration of individuals and family groups had decreased, but the natural increase component had remained strong enough to more than offset the loss of pop ulation through migration. This resulted in an increase of about sixteen percent between 1960 and 1970, and seventeen percent increase between 1970 and 1980. The population count from the 1980 census for the city of Lubbock was 174,157.
Surveys and studies project an increase for a total of more than
205,000 for the year 1990.(fig. 2)
A great quantity of land is available for future urban uses.
Geographically, the city's population has continued its' historical movement over to the south and west. Particularly notable gains in the area bordering the outside of Loop 289. west of Slide Road can by seen.(fig. 3) The northern portion of the city is expected to decline in population. A very slow increase is expected through 1990. The southwestern area of the city is expected to continue its' present steady growth rate.
12 By the year 1990, the area should expand physically beyond the corporate limits. A substantial population increase in the southwestern
area of the city will make the area the leading growth area of
Lubbock. The eastern portion of the city will experience a decline in population through the year 1990.
Also declining in population will be the southeastern portion of the city. Like the southwestern area, the northwest will experience a continuous population increase that will make it
Lubbock's second largest growth area.
13 The residential migration has been primarily to the south, west, and southwest areas of the city. For reasons both social and economic, the mass of population moving into the newly developed areas is predominantly white.^
The existing traffic distribution system consists primar ily of a north-south, east-west grid pattern with the princi
pal arterials located on section lines. The major deviations
to the grid pattern are the highways entering the city and the
twenty-six mile long Loop 289 which encompasses the greater part
of the city.
Presently, Lubbock is served by two railway lines. They are the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company and the
Burlington-Norhtern Incorporated Railway Company.
Approximately five Major airlines operate from the Lubbock
International Airport. At present, the terminal facilities
should be adequate past 1990.
Intercity bus passenger and freight service is provided
by the Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma Coaches, Incorporated.
There are approximately twenty-five scheduled arrivals and an equal number of departures.
Citibus, the intracity bus system, presently operates eighteen buses on thirteen routes. In addition to the sched uled bus routes, Citibus also operates a demand responsive
14' subsystem and an intracity gharter subsystem.
As shown in figure 4, the projected employment in Lubbock is experienceing a steady growth. There is about a thirty- five percent increase in employment from 1975 to 1990.
The projected income and retail sales also shows a continuous and steady growth rate through the year 1990. An exception
is the retail sales of the central business district which
experienced a decrease from 1970 to 1975 and shows a slow
increase through 1990.

The impact of the national economy is expected to be favorable on the local are through the coming year (1985). Agriculture, at present, is in a relatively strained position. The most important factor in increasing the economy of that particular sector of the economy is a healthy and substantial crop season. The economy of Lubbock has been somewhat out of step with the economic trends in the rest of the nation. Lubbock entered into the recession later than the national economy and is now recovering later. While the unemployment rate was going down in the nation, and the majority of Texas, the unemployment 18 in Lubbock was increasing. This was due mainly to factors such as the layoff at such places as Texas Instruments. Still, the employment rate is improving with a competitive job market. Manufacturing went into a slump last year, but is now beginning to climb. The construction industry is in much the same condition as manufacturing, but there was no substantial slump. In 1983, the total for building permits was 230 million dollars and 1984 is expected to equal or better that figure. Recently, a "one-of-a-kind", thirty million dollar permit was issued for an expansion of Methodist Hospital. Real estate activity in Lubbock for the first two months of 1984 was the highest in volume for the first two-month period of any year in the past. The multiple listing service logged $36,478,749 in listing for January and February of 1984. In the long-term, the real estate market should be good. According to the Industrial and Economic Development Committee of the Lubbock Chanber of Commerce, Lubbock's future growth will be greatly enhanced by such assets as the research and medical facilities of Texas Tech University. Another significant factor which Lubbock has to offer is its international airport and the accessibility it brings. 19 The retail sector of Lubbock has the potential of becoming one of the dominant economic forces in the West Texas region. There are presently two major shopping facilities that are on the drawing board. Lubbock may become the major shopping area for the West Texas radius of 150 miles. General business activity in Lubbock is doing quite well. Deposits, earnings, and loans are all increased with loans up twelve percent from last year (1983). 20 ENDNOTES 1 Heidehohn, p.34. 2 Corns, vol I, p. 1. 3 Graves, p. 30-33. 4 Report on Interstate Highway, p. 61 Lubbock Comprehensive plan, po 72. SITE ANALYSIS SITE ANALYSIS Lubbock is located in the South Plains region of the northwest area of Texas, (fig. 6) It lies at an elevation of approximately 3250 feet. The South Plains area is part of the Llano Estacado which is separated from the rest of the High Plains by the Red River on the north, the Pecos River on the west, and by the edge of the Caprock on the east. The unique characteristic of the topography of Lubbock is its' dramatically level terrain. It is broken only by playa lakes and the small canyons containing the Yellow House Draw and the Blackwater Draw which are tributaries of the Brazos River.' (fig. 7) 22 23 -7 . LAMB COUNTY COUNTY 33°40' — TERRY COUNTY source: Soil Survey, Lubbock,TX USDA 2i LAND USE The city of Lubbock is broken up into six population sectors, (fig. 8) The proposed bank and office building will be located in sector four near the Loop 289 and Quaker Avenue. This is the largest sector in the city with a population of 84,900 in 1980 and projected population of 126,912 for 2005.^ Sector Four is in the southwest region Lubbock. Sector Four is primarily a middle and upper class residen tial area. Most of the more recent area developments, retail and commercial, lie in this sector. Figures 9, 10, and 11 show the locations of the parks and open spaces, residential areas, and commercial areas, respectively. The residential areas cover most of the area in the region around the site. Commercial areas are located across Quaker Avenue from the site. The northern and southern border of Loop 289 (west of the site), and on the northern and southern borders of Loop 289 east of the site. Other major commercial areas are located on 50th Street, north of the site of the bank and office tower. As shown in figure 11, park areas are located in almost every quadrant surround- the site. 25 Ft^f> (CITY bBcrOfZ^ 26 Fv^^ ^^SiOBHVAL, A£fcA ,«...-..»«..-f-f--"-'' 27 m 10 ^o-^"-' tte^roc".',^'."' 28 fvq II ^A^K AKJ^5 AN)0 oee^ 6PAce5 29 LAND USE POLICY Commercial and Industrial Development: - Strip commercial development shall be avoided. ;^ In newly developing residential areas, 5 to 10 acres of local retail commercial use will be allowed on each corner at the intersection of major thoroughfares, serving neigh borhoods within ^ to 1 mile radius. - Commercial development which extends past 660 feet from the intersection of major thoroughfares shall be consid ered to have made the transition from cluster develop ment to strip development. - Commercial land uses which serve a city-wide or regional market shall be located on regional arterials. - A small neighborhood shopping area may be permitted at the center of a square mile of residential development, with proper site planning. - Where the possibility exists for adverse effects on ad jacent residential areas, commercial or industrial dev elopment may take place only in accordance with a site plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. - Industrial or commercial zoning adjacent to Loop 289, Interstate 27 and major entry corridors to the city should be granted only in accordance with a site plan submitted to and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commissions. 30 The preceding policies are intended to serve as guidelines in the development of the Lubbock urban area and were taken from the 1983* Land Use Plan, Lubbock, Texas. POPULATION Figure 12 shows a record of the populations in each of the Lubbock census tracts. The tract 19.04 (to the immediate right of the site) shows one of the lowest population counts of all the tracts. That is because it is currently farmland that will soon be the home of a new shopping mall facility. All the tracts surrounding the site indicate large populations. The population of Lubbock, according to the 1980 U.S. Census, was 173,979. In 1983, the city of Lubbock included more than 92 square miles of land area. The various land uses included 16 square miles of residential use, 4 square miles of commercial areas, 20 square miles of right-of-way, and 10 square miles of schools, churches, parks, and other public uses. Three and one-half square miles were used for industrial use and warehousing. Thirty-eight and one-half square miles remains undeveloped. 31 zp"^ PIG, '2 cxTi Of- uj^&oc^ cet^^ob Tf^^^r^ 32 The following are percentages of land use in Lubbock for 1982 and 1973: 1982 1973 A) VACANT 41.4% 47.7% B) STREETS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAYS 21.6% 17.6% C) RESIDENTIAL 17.0% 16.6% D) PUBLIC USE 7.1% 6.5% E) COMMERCIAL 5.0% 5.1% F) PARKS AND OPEN SPACE 4.9% 3.9% G) INDUSTRIAL 2.7% 2.6% In comparison from 1973 to 1982, there has been relative ly little change. Vacant land decreases show the most signifi cant change. That is because of the increase in building by the city of Lubbock. Land use development in Lubbock is a vigorous process. The city has set considerations that must be met in order for future expansion to occur. The considerations include: 1) Water supply 2) Expansion and extension of public facilities 3) Infill of vacant land within city limits-'--'^ 33 MUNICIPAL ANNEXATION POLICIES Lubbock shall exercise protective annexation measures to pre clude strips and pockets of urban blight adjacent to the city. Extension of municipal utilities outside the city shall be prohibited except in emergencies or when annexation can be completed within 90 days. Developers and/or landowners requesting annexation must bear the major costs of public service facilities when existing land within the corporate limits can support anticipated growth for a 10-15 year period. Location and amounts of land to be annexed must provide max imum efficiencies of municipal serveces such as police, fire protections, water, sewer, street maintenance, and solid waste collections. Disproportionate costs to tax revenues shall be discouraged. Prior to Public hearings on annexation, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall forward an opinion to the City Council, stating the impact of the annexation on long range growth patterns and rate of growth. 34 The site has been zoned C-3 recently. This classification is for commercial and retail development. Thus, the location of the proposed bank and office tower here will not be opposed. No height restrictions are placed here. A Financial Center has been proposed for this site by Paul Rochester Investments, but no other architectural program for this facility has been written as of yet. 35 TRANSPORTATION Upon completion of Interstate Highway 27, located in the northeast region of the city,Lubbock, Texas will be formally linked with the interstate system, this linkage will enable Lubbock to grow and become a major distribution center for the south plains. The current main transportation arteries within Lubbock are indicated in figure 13. A main goal for the city of Lubbock is to maintain a high quality transportation system, within the city, from the city, and to the city from other regions. Automobiles are the main method of intracity travel. The vehicle occupancy rate is a low 1.23 persons per vehicle. That indicates that 78% of all trips within the city are make with only one person per vehicle. 1^ 9 36 fi^- i3 37 ^bOOcA^s "KAPPIC COUNT (cA^s> ^^e DAY) SOOf^ce: mAFFiCANO Bt^qiNBeei/^^ t>BPr 38 EXISTING FEATURES Currently, there are no significant existing features on the site. It is presently being utilized as farmland. Figure 14 shows an aerial view of the site. This photo clearly shows no important existing features. The site on which the bank and office tower facility will lie is located in the southwest region of the city. To the north of the site is loop 289 and its' access roads. On the south runs 74th Street. Located on the west side is Quaker Avenue and the view to the east is farmland. (fig. 15) At present, there are no banking facilities located outside of Loop 289 except Whisperwood National Bank on the northwest side of the Loop. The location of the chosen site is ideal for several reasons; the first being the presence of Loop 289. Access to the site would be excellent from the Loop. Although the major users of the banking facility would most likely be the residents and business people from the southwestern portion of the city, access from all areas of the city would be greatly enhanced by the use of the Loop 289. Second, since there are no existing major facilities located outside of the Loop, the chosen site would allow greater immediacy to those users located in the region. 39 11 Although Sentry Savings is located at Loop 289 and Slide Road, it is not being considered in this program because it is a savings associated institution. Other savings associations include Briercroft, State Savings Of Texas, West Texas Savings, Caprock Savings, and First Financial Savings and Loan Association. 41 VIEWS The view to the north of the site is obstructed by the concrete banks of the Loop 289 overpass through which Quaker Avenue runs. The height of the overpass is approximately 20 feet at the northwest corner and approximately 5 feet at the northeast corner of the site. The view in this direction is not very desireable, so special consideration should be make to enhance the area. The view to the west, across Quaker Avenue, is dominated by the presence of a fast-food restaurant, a grocery store, and a small office complex. This view is also not very desireable since the presence of a large area of parking is located adjacent to Quaker Avenue. To the south and east of the site lies farm land. There are currently no obstructions. Only the glimpse of residential areas in the far distance can be seen. 42 CLIMATIC DATA The Lubbock, Texas region is a semi-arid area that is a combination of desert conditions to the west and of humid clim ates to the east and southeast regions of Texas. The city is at a general elevation level of 3250 feet above sea level. Although the South Plains area is predominantly level, it contains num erous minor irregularities such as small playas. These are clay- lined depressions. During the rainy months, the playas collect runoff water from the area and form small lakes. PRECIPITATION: The normal annual precipitation for Lubbock is 18.41 inches. The greatest monthly rainfall occurs from May through September when moist, warm tropical air may be carried over into the Lubbock area from the Gulf of Mexico. Annual totals for Lub bock range from as much as 40.55 inches to only 8.73 inches. The monthly precipitation extremes range from 13.93 inches to none.-*-^ SNOWFALL: Between the months of October and April, show may occur but it is generally light and seldom remains on the ground for more than 2-3 days.-'-^ 47 TEMPERATURE: The normal annual temperature is 59.7°F. The warmest months of the year are June, July, August. July has a normal daily temperature maximum of 92.4°F. December and January are the coldest months with i.normal daily minimum of 24.8°F during Janu ary. The record high temperature for this region is 109°F and the record low is -17°F.16 (^ig- 1^) HUMIDITY: Figure 17 also shows the percentage of humidity at 6 a.m. and at 12 p.m. (average at different months of the 1 -] year)^' WIND: Maximum winds for Lubbock are primarily associated with thun derstorms and are usually of short duration. Sometimes winds of 25 mph last for periods of 12 hours or more. This usually occurs with late winter and springtime low pressure centers. These winds usually come from the west. They usually bring dust with them .18 (fi§- 18) 48 JAr^ flAlt APH F&8 MAt JDA/ 7U/- Aug &&3 ocr fsrovr p&i/ 110- JOO- qo- no u> 50 40 30 zo 10 0 -rEnPE^ATi;>2£ ^P ^/WBI^A^^ PAI^^ renPt^ATOie^ ) HOD/PyT^ AVEJ^A6^^ pAiLf re>nPe^Awg£ ) 49 N w hAlt APH MAY JU/^ JUL A^^ s^n OCT pJOV PEJ:- 50 SOIL The classification of soil at the site of the proposed banking facility at Quaker and the Loop 289 is 01ton_Urban Land Complex, 0-2% slope. The almost level to gently sloping unit is on the uplands. It occurs as irregularly shaped areas that range from 50-200 acres, (fig. 19) 01ton soils make up about 65% of this portion, Urban Land about 30%, and other soils about 5%. The Olton Soil is deep. The surface layer is easily crumbled, mildly alkaline, brown clay loam which is about 10 inches thick. The first ten to eighteen inches of soil is firm, mildly alkaline, reddish brown clay loam. From 30-42 inches is firm, moderately alkaline, red dish brown clay loam which contains some calcium carbonate. From 42-80 inches is easily crumbled, moderately alkaline clay loam. It is pink in the upper eighteen inches and yellowish red in the lower twenty inches. Urban land consists of residential and commercial buildings, driveways streets, sidewalks, parkinglots, and airport runways. The Olton soil is well drained and hish in natural fertil ity. Surface runoff is high because of the amount of soil cov ered by structures, which casts of most precipitation. Permea bility is moderately slow. The available water capacity is high. 51 Most of the area is in Urban use. It has medium potential for most urban uses and recreational use. The Olton soil is corrosive to steel, shrinks and swells as moisture content changes, is too clayey, and has slow water percolation. Well designed structures should be able to withstand these problems. Small buildings often shift and crack if their foun dations are not adequately designed. The potential for recrea tional use is medium. The clay loam surface layer and slow percolation are the negative factors restricting recreational use.

When reviewing the activ ities in general, they will be viewed in terms of behavioral patterns generally associated with office operations. Commercial banking is basically a service industry. Three main functions of a bank include- handling deposits, processing payments and extending credit. All of these activities are managed by a large array of directors, managers, secretaries, clerks, and tellers. Each activity is unique, requiring differ ent planning considerations for work spaces. The success of a building can be associated with its abil ity to continue to use its own spaces and expand within them. The office space within the bank must be flexible to allow for changes in size and function of the particular spaces. An office space should allow control for support spaces. Most successful office spaces contain about five to six work areas with semi-private stations. Although each worker needs a certain degree of privacy, he also needs contact with other employees, whether within visual range or hearing range. 58 The environment in which office workers are in contact with affect the job activities and behavior patterns in association with their activities. Factors such as temperature, illumination, noise, and appearance can affect workers in poitive or negative ways. Temperatures should be kept at a favorable and comfort able degree setting to assure workers' maximum productivity at all times. Illumination can also affect workers well-being. Many of fice workers prefer natural daylight to artificial light, but providing this is not always possible. Since the worker is in doors most of the working day, the natural light may act as his connection with the outdoors. Noise must be kept at a minimum at all times to prevent the distraction of co-workers in the immediate area. The appearance of the working environment must also be of a qual ity as to assure the pleasnatness of the working conditions in various areas of the facility. 59 PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR Office workers may react to their work environment in various manners. They may not show upfor work or they may be late. They might also show up early, eager to begin the day's work. Once the individual arrives, he or she may begin by rearranging the environment in which they work. As this may not always be accomplished by moving the existing furniture, the individual may bring plants, flowers, or pictures. The worker can also change the lighting level, the air temperature and even noise level. Allowing each worker to alter his or her environment will aid in producing the employees best work efforts. Social interaction behavior characterizes organizational func tioning in business offices. This may involve groups of two or more. The interaction may be of a formal or informal nature, but is usually oriented to work. 60 ACTIVITY ANALYSIS OF BANK DEPARTMENTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The bank is operated by the Board of Directors.

Location: Boston, Massachussetts 1978 Frank E. Morris, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, made the decision .initially that the total respon sibility for the building and its' site, from initial program ming to furnishing and graphics would be granted to the arch itects . Hugh Stubbins and Associates provided all the spec ialists needed or hired outside consultants. The architectur al firm had the unusual opportunity to practice "total design" of a large office building. This opportunity resulted in a "highly controlled, clarified and refined building"! whose interiors rank among the best in an office building. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston required large areas for handling money operations, computers, accounting and vaults. All these functions necessitated secure, well-guarded areas accessible to authorized personnel only. These spaces are arranged below-ground on three floors and above ground with in a four-story, low-rise building that surrounds a tower and landscaped plaza. Also needed in the bank was space for ec onomic analysts, public relations staff and other office work ers who do not require tight security control. Stubbins placed them in the office tower so that they would receive light 152 and views. The tower and low-rise building are arranged on the site in such a way tha other towers may later be added for future expansion. The 33-story, 602-foot tall aluminum clad tower was placed to the northwest of a 5 7 acre site where bearing cond itions were best. Elevator banks are located at the ends of the tower and not the center in order that a more flexible floor can be used in an open-plan layout. Elevators at the ends of the floors can be more easily guardedand also provide more efficient wind bracing. Included in the building was leasable space into which the bank would eventually grow. The elevator bank to the left of the entrance serves the lower tower floors used by the ten ants, and the right elevator bank serves the upper floors oc cupied by the bank. The tower is supported on the two end pylons so that the operational space would by column-free. There is a huge space between the tower and the low-rise so that it is clear to the viewer that the tower is structurally free of the low-rise. The large open space also has a good effect on the down ward acceleration of wind. Spandrels also aid in the winds direction and carry heating and cooling ducts. Most important ly, the windows are shaded by the spandrels to reduce air con ditioning requirements in the summer. Light-colored aluminum 153 was selected not only to reflect the sun's rays, but to make the building more easily seen by showing off its' sculptural qualities. Mullion-less glass was used to provide uninter rupted vistas. Architect, Hugh Stubbins "sought to create a strong im age for a building whose structure and organization would be 2 east to understand visually." He has accomplished this idea by incorporating all the previously mentioned concepts. The principal interiors of the bank accessible to the public are the entrance lobby, the exhibition gallery, and auditorium. Executive offices, conference rooms, dining fac- cilities and secretarial areas occupy the banks two top floors. The uppermost floors of the low-rise contain the check collec tion department and data operations. Employee dining and rec reation facilities are also provided. Teller stations are simple and uncluttered. The first tower floor begins at about 35 feet above the low-rise building and contains mechanical equipment, which is framed by two thirty-six foot deep trusses. These trusses carry twenty-seven office floors and a mechanical floor at the top. 154 " ••«"•»" Pl^l.l.

But there it is- big, bold, and real, the product of the enthusiasm and imagination of the client, the architects and the engineers."^ The architects have taken a sophisticated program and designed a building which makes a reality of what is mentioned above. Located below the ground underneath a sloping plaza are the security operations which require protected facilities. The total square footage of the building requiring this pro tection amounts to approximately sixty percent. Clerical and administrative operations are housed in an office building block which is suspended from two great concrete towers. The catenary members supporting the office floors are expressed in the curtain wall. Below the curve of the catenary the glass stands forward and above it, stands suspended above. The structure is actually quite simple. Two catenaries, one on either side of the building and sixty feet apart, support the major facades These in turn support the concrete slab floors. Two twenty-eight foot deep trusses at the top of the 164 building do keep the supporting end towers from falling inwards. This results in open, flexible work spaces. The original Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, built in the early 1920's is a windowless, forbidding building. It was described by its' architect, Cass Gilbert, as a "strongbox for the currency of the Northwest."^ A former bank president added that "the responsibility of the Bank to serve the financial community and the public requires openness and accessibility." The architects satesfied this intention with offices in the tower with views and a plaza for the general public. As unusual as the structure may be, it still has some flwas which should be considered. The building is spanning something that does not seem to need spanning. The only ad vantage is the gaining^of extra ground space for a public plaza which reiterates the former bank presidents' desire for a gesture of openness to the city. Many negative comments have been expressed about the plaza itself. The gentle slope is not inviting and the plaza is not comfortable or inviting. The plaza is not protected by surrounding buildings and therefore uncomfortable in the winter in Minneapolis' below-zero weather and uncomfortable in the summer because the benches provided gain too much heat. The cost of the structure was forty-seven dollars a square foot in 1971. 165 166 i^^i D :ir"Tl :ir'T1 :Z i^±i i;^^! 167 Project: Community Federal Center Architect: Hellmuth, obata and Kassabaum Location: St. Louis, Missouri The Community Federal Center is a highly refined example of its' building type, the suburban office building. The building stands free on a large site located outside of down town St. Louis. Its large floor area, approximately 300,000 square feet worth has been spread out so that the building would not be very tall nor very flat. The building solution is expressed as a distinguished, corporate type structure. Its' sophisticated massing fits the sophisticated banking transactions within. The visual impact that the building had in the surroun ding residential community was buffered by a number of exis ting conditions and design considerations. The existing conditions were the huge twenty-acre site and its' location between major traffic arteries on three sides. These arteries only provided a 'Tauilt-in" separation from the residential community. But most importantly they provide "that greater of commercial assets; High visibility."" A canopy extends from the building and repeats at close visual range, the high steel supports for the skylights inside. This is seen at the entrance to the lobby-atrium. The pyramid shaped skylights and their steel supports form a lacy pattern inside and outside that becomes a major decor ative element for the whole building. Many of the office spaces are largely open-plan but there are also private offices. ,, m^^m^mm^mmt>sm'^k'''im^smr:xc-i;m^^- ir •-• -t^i-m. 169 ^-oc,i7o >-0©asci-^ai-^G:::^Csxx-C:^c^ L =._=J/szsz5i- F •^r/V^l^ LOBBY cr H 1 i:;:^^ jssn BANK OFR I f^lC gB LJ d j«:--.5;-l._. 1 -, li • ^^t ::'••: I rr TENTH LEVEL .J FIRST LEVEL 172 / •\ »l^->" M' 1.1 * N. / ..^- ;i'^%^ ^Jfe"^ //I yp^ t'*"l G5|| .f ^.^r ^>- k '.*< ISSUES OF CONCERN * provide open-plan layouts for employees * create a strong image in the banks' architecture * do not hide officers in private rooms * create an openness about the bank * provide comfortable plazas for employees and public * -provide energy efficiency in the structures * give public easy access to tellers * locate security tight-areas in such a manner as to prohibit access to unauthorized personnel 174 ENDNOTES Schmertz, Mildred F., "Designing Everything Down to the Last Detail."

It was decided that an area for a drive-up bank facility should be provided. Parking for approximately ^00 to ^50 cars was necessary. The bank space development initially was not very success ful, I decided to situate the building along an east-west axis for maximum solar gain. The mainl reason the building was located in the c*ntral area of the site was so that parking could be located both on the north and south sides. This would help to lessen the walking distances from the farthest parking space. The ima.ges that I had initially tried to develop for the bank were not very successful either. It was not very certain ais to where the "front" of the building was, I purposely lo cated the bank and office building in the center of the site so that there would be two entrances instead of one main entrance. The north entrance was to be the main bank entrance and the south entrance was to be the main office building entrance. Preliminary two After trying to situate the parking for ^4-00 to ^50 cars, the drive-up bank facility, and the building itself, I fou* that there was not quite enough space to accomodate all com fortably. It was decided that I should add approximately 100 to 200 feet of land along the entire eastern border of the site. This would better aid in making the site development less tight ly-packed. The drive-in bank was located on the west side of the site, just off of Quaker Avenue, Space for only about 4-5 teller launes was provided and the suggestion for approximately twice that amount was brought up. The drive-in bank was located off of Quaker so that cars could enter the drive-up facilities from Quaker and also exit off onto the Quaker entrances. This allowed for a greater choice in direction. If the drive- in bank was located off the Loop 289 access road, the customer would most likely have no choice but to exit off onto the access raod and head east only. Again, the image I developed for the bank was not right. The development of the interfcor bank spaces was also not at the stage it should have been, I had to consider the location of fire exits and mechanical chases more carefully, I had not taken those factors into full consideration. The development of a plaza was needed as were more entrances and exits into the parking areas. Preliminary three The addition of more land to the east of the site helped to make the development less crowded. The parking areas were rearranged so that pedestrians would not have to make many lane crossings on the south lot. The north lot remained about the same. Five more lanes were added to the drive-in bank facility, I had to lesseii the entrance or opening into the -^Tlve-in bank because of the code requirement, I had, initially, an opening that was approximately forty feet wide, I located the elevator core in the central part of the building, along with one faire stair and the public restrooms. Another fire stair was located at the far west side of the building, The building had much glazing on the east-west facades which I needed to reduce or eliminate altogether, A service entrance also needed to be included. Final presentation The site development remained the same as it was for the previous prelimanary. Parking was located on the norkh and south sides of the building. The drive-in bank remained on the west off of Quaker Avenue, The building has a total of ten floors above ground and a basement level, A nine floor high atrium is located in the south entrance and a four storey high atrtum is located off the noth entrance. All of the main customer related service are located on the first level of the building which is the main banking floor. The executive are located on the second level and the cafeteria and meeting rooms axe located on the third level. The rest of the floor area is for leasable office space.
