CommunityAmerica’s Lee’s Summit branch is a ground-up, single-story financial facility developed from the credit union’s established “Branch of the Future” prototype. The design team refined the prototype through simplified exterior materials and detailing, an improved interior layout, and a separate drive-thru canopy.
Inside, self-service ATMs replace the traditional teller line, supporting a more flexible approach to member service and allowing the lobby to function as an open, approachable environment. On the exterior, a custom window screening pattern repeats the triangular form found in the CommunityAmerica logo, integrating the credit union’s visual identity into the architecture.
