(HolmesHepner Architects, Architect of Record)
This 45,000SF Call Center project was designed to serve the Credit Union’s members of eight counties along the west coast of Florida.
The three-story facility is designed with two levels of concrete structured parking and the third floor “open plan” Call Center. The main call servicing area is designed with a raised floor system concealing under floor HVAC, IT and electrical services. The industrial design employs three-dimensional triangle steel pipe trusses, spanning 120 feet and long span exposed pre-finished steel decking. fire sprinklers and electrical services are concealed in the 1,000-foot radius metal deck barrel roof structure.
The facility’s usage of electrical power has been greatly reduced by the northern orientation and three-sided floor to ceiling insulated impact resistant glazing, providing year-round natural light. Offices, training rooms, and employee break room and facilities are located along the southern wall assisting in lowering the building heat gain.
The facility was constructed in 1999 at a cost of $12.8M.

These two Member’s Service Centers are representative of the over 35 that were designed and managed by David Goodspeed, AIA; representing the scope equipped with five drive thru access. the facility to the right is located in the Inner Bay area of Tampa. The site for this branch was a
triangular in shape and restricted by an
easement along the residential side property
line, “Grandfather” live oaks located at the front
entry and drive thru lane portions of the
building added more conflicts in design but
improved the hometown feeling of the facility,
located near residential areas of the city. The
tree issues combined with the owner's desire to
have 40 spaces for member parking proved to
be a design challenge. The oak trees required
root pruning and pervious walkway paving and site parking to maintain their
growth.
The building was designed utilizing a building
grid establishing order to the building
components, i.e.: walls, glazing joints and floor
tile layouts. The interior lobby was designed
with a twelve-foot-high ceiling with a perimeter
organizational site line to again maintain order
and provide a space that the members would
feel comfortable in and not overpowered by the
special volume.
The facility was constructed in 1996 at a cost
of $850K.
