First Security Bank

Bozeman, MT

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Bozeman, Montana, the new First Security Bank emerges as an architectural marvel that seamlessly blends innovation, sustainability, and aesthetic finesse. The driving force behind the design was to showcase the versatility and beauty of engineered wood products, elevating the banking experience for customers and creating a space that resonates with the essence of modernity.
 
Renowned for their expertise in structural design, DCI Engineers envisioned a space that transcends the ordinary. To achieve this, exposed open-web trusses were strategically incorporated, adding a distinctive touch to the conference room and bank lobby. These trusses not only serve a functional purpose in providing structural support but also contribute significantly to the overall aesthetic appeal.
 
The First Security Bank project is not just about creating a visually stunning space; it also embraces a deep commitment to environmental sustainability. The pursuit of LEED certification is a testament to this dedication. LEED, a globally recognized green building certification system, is a benchmark for sustainable construction practices. The bank adheres to stringent criteria that evaluate energy efficiency, water conservation, and overall environmental impact in its quest for LEED certification. The engineered wood products provided EPD, HPD, and recycled content certifications that supported LEED credits.
 
This bank sets a new standard for modern construction projects. It stands as a beacon of inspiration, showcasing that financial institutions can be pillars of economic stability and champions of environmental responsibility and innovative design.
