Old Kent Bank
Walled Lake, Michigan

After several commissions with Old Ken Bank, Dorchen/Martin Associates, Inc. were hired to transform a former Post Office into a branch bank with drive-thru and ATM facilities. Currently there was an operational Old Kent Bank on an outlot adjacent to the new location. Working with the community and property owner, site plan approval was obtained and a corporate design developed to provide not only improved banking facilities for the community but also a corporate training center for Old Kent Bank. In addition to the internal improvements, the exterior upgrade was beneficial to the community, developer and Old Kent Bank.
