BOK Financial

BOK Financial serves as a new full-service banking and office space located at 17th and Grand Boulevard in Crossroads District of Kansas City, Missouri. The facility features a welcoming lobby equipped with teller stations and corporate offices, as well as a banking drive-thru and walk-up ATM to enable street-level activation. Additional office spaces, a flexible break room, and a daylight-filled event space and patio with views of downtown Kansas City are located on the facility’s second level. The design aims to establish an indoor-outdoor connection, inviting nature into the building through an emphasis on views, generous daylight, and native landscaping. The project is one of the first to implement Grand Boulevard’s streetscape master plan. The design team collaborated with BOK Financial to explore the potential for photovoltaics (PV) mounted on the roof to lower EUI as well as implementing a number of other sustainable systems and practices to improve building efficiency and visitor health and well-being.
