Just shy of their 75th year in business, Charter Oak Federal Credit Union was looking to expand—and a brand new headquarters was in order. Known for their philanthropic work, in addition to their day-to-day services of deposits and loans, Charter Oak wanted to make sure that their big move would be one that would also benefit their community. Not wanting to put up just another clunky building, they wanted to contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the community, so an elegant design was a must.
An $18 million budget was allocated and a 65,000 square-foot, four-story, complex would soon become Charter Oak’s new home. The move would allow them to incorporate the best in design features, of which they wanted to make sure was protected with an equally impressive air and water barrier. With that in mind, Kingspan KarrierPanelbarrier wall system was used throughout the brick and aluminum based complex.
