UW Credit Union Northport
A new UW Credit Union branch serving the North Side of Madison responds to unique site conditions while integrating a standard language representing the Credit Union’s brand. Exterior materials of brick, stone, steel, EIFS, and glass are composed to express the functions which they enclose. The composition explores multiple scales of space interior and exterior. The hierarchy of space is expressed by lower elements arranged around a large two-story volume.
The branch includes private Closing Rooms, Teller Line, Work and Break Rooms, which interact with the open Lobby and Waiting spaces, reflecting the exterior composition. Standard UW Credit Union details were implemented, including exposed steel wide-flange columns infilled with wood, prominent welcome desk, feature wall, and overhead trellis, and other featured casework.
