This Centennial Bank building serves as the corporate headquarters, data center and is the prime wealth management location.
The bank lobby is designed with warmth and sophistication intended to draw in the most elite banking customers. A Texas stone encased fireplace houses artwork niches highlighting the bank’s imperial eagle logo and two photos transposed on metal depicting the first bank branches that make up the bank we know today as Centennial Bank. Stained wood beams emphasize the ceiling, coordinating the rich wood floors with the overall hill country appearance. The board room is dressed with raised paneling on the walls, natural granite tiles, and luxurious carpeting. The executive offices display natural light from the exterior glass that spills into the inner spaces through wood-framed, floor to ceiling windows.
The data center includes information technology, wire transfer, human resources, credit administration, compliance, item processing, deposit operations, electronic banking, a call center, and debit card services. A combination of systems furniture, built-in cabinetry, and wood-cased goods are utilized within these spaces. This area is located on the second floor of the building and can only be accessed through exclusive key card admittance.
Information technology, credit administration, and human resources each have an additional secure entry to protect customer confidentiality. The training room features a presentation wall painted with a dry erase surface and is outfitted with mobile tables and nesting chairs for quick reconfiguration. The finishes throughout the space include paint, carpet, and natural stone floor and wall tile in the newly renovated restrooms. The space also includes a large break room with state-of-the-art appliances, including a side-by-side refrigerator, warming drawers, and dishwashers. Natural daylight infiltrates the space through exterior windows, creating a restful break area for the data center employees.
The exterior of the bank also received a significant amount of updating. The modernized exterior exhibits some original brick, a natural stone water table, elegant eyebrow arches, and custom metal arched awnings. A custom ATM was also added to the site to match the bank building.
