19 Aug Badger Globe Credit Union
Badger Globe Credit Union in Neenah, WI is transforming their 11,000-sf facility to better utilize their space and serve their community while maintaining full operations throughout the renovation process. The Redmond Company is leading this interior renovation that addresses critical accessibility issues while maximizing underutilized space to create new amenities including collaboration areas, quiet rooms, and a dedicated mother’s room.
A unique design challenge of this project is creating a timeless, welcoming environment while the credit union’s future branding remains in development. The Redmond team formulated a modern rustic design concept that feels both comfortable to existing members and attractive to new ones. Through close collaboration with the credit union’s leadership, we’re implementing neutral and green color palettes with natural elements and textures that reflect the local Neenah area, ensuring a design that will stand the test of time regardless of future branding decisions.
Community involvement is central to Badger Globe Credit Union’s mission, and The Redmond Company is incorporating dedicated spaces that celebrate this commitment. The new design seamlessly integrates community engagement into the coffee bar space within the waiting area by incorporating specialized shelving and TV monitors to promote local organization partnerships and donation efforts. A custom history wall showcases the credit union’s legacy through historical postcards of the Neenah area, sourced with assistance from the local public library, which the team appreciated greatly.
The renovation will showcase distinctive curvilinear design elements throughout the space, from custom ceiling soffits to millwork and graphics. A striking teller line will feature waterfall edges with natural quartz materials set against an eye-catching stacked stone backdrop, while wood panels in the conference room will create a serene atmosphere for meetings. These natural textures and materials reinforce the connection to the local environment while providing a sophisticated, professional setting.
Managing a live remodel requires exceptional coordination and communication, which The Redmond Company delivers through our proven design/build approach. Credit union staff and members will experience a carefully phased construction schedule with minimal disruptions to daily operations and member interactions. Our commitment to transparency and frequent communication ensures Badger Globe Credit Union can focus on serving their community while we handle the complexities of construction, delivering enhanced security systems, improved accessibility, and optimized space utilization that positions them for continued growth and community impact.
