McGrath & Associates, an AGC of Missouri and Central Illinois Builders of AGC member, has completed a $1.2-million renovation of Montgomery Bank in Bridgeton, Missouri, including a complete redesign of the branch and the addition of an AT&T retail store. The design-build project highlights a new trend in the banking industry to reduce branch size while incorporating a retail tenant into the original building footprint. Verve Design Studio was the architect. 

"With the popularity of online banking, fewer customers are visiting brick-and-mortar branches, yet banks need a physical location to provide personal, local service and advice," said Kenneth Witbrodt Jr., CEO of Montgomery Bank. "This is a win-win design solution that helps both the bank and our tenant attract each other’s customers."

McGrath’s renovation of the 5,100-sq-ft facility included exterior finishes and ACM panels, modern interior finishes, drive-thru lanes and canopy, new HVAC air handlers and utility services. McGrath completed the project on time and within budget in a short, six-month schedule, from design to construction completion.
