We designed a new facility for ServisFirst Bank on a parcel with only half the area available for development. Working with Moore Bass Consulting, our site design provided a new location for underserved customers in a growing area, supporting ServisFirst’s continued expansion in Tallahassee.
We designed the site to be functional, sustainable, and inclusive while meeting ServisFirst’s requirements. Our final design included an open-air retention pond and a wrap-around drive-through, with the building centrally located on the site. A major challenge was an electrical easement that prevented half the site from being used, requiring several design revisions to meet client needs. Our completed design reduced erosion, controlled runoff, and ensured water quality.
We guided our design using local, state, and federal standards, including the Tallahassee Land Development Code, Florida Building Code, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) standards, the Clean Water Act, and the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics (NSPE). We verified that our site design was legal and code compliant.
Our final design met all client needs and sponsor requirements. It provided a functional bank location that complied with all state and local regulations while preserving the natural appearance of the area and improving customer access.
