IBEX completes construction of 4,800 s/f Union Sq. Bank of America

IBEX Construction (IBEX) has completed construction on a new Bank of America branch located at 36 East 14th St. and University Pl. in Union Sq. The new 4,800 s/f location, which is now open, is an important location and branding statement for the bank. A Kawneer aluminum storefront canopy adorns the bank's exterior and an internally illuminated Bank of America sign welcomes customers. Inside, the company unveiled a new floor layout and design, including new light-colored finishes on the walls, ceilings and floors. New ceramic tile guides bank patrons through the branch's public spaces while Carnegie Xorel wall coverings and high-quality Wilsonart and Nevamar laminate flooring creates a light and inviting atmosphere. The bank is comprised of two levels with ATMs, sales offices, waiting room/library, online area and break room on the ground floor. The telemarketing offices and bank vaults are located on the basement level. The teller line, which is secured with bullet-resistant glass, doors and fixtures, is also located on the basement level. The new bank offers ADA compliant access and restrooms. New York-based architecture firm Whidden Silver, Inc. designed the new project.
