CK Commercial wraps up interior fit-out for SECU Credit Union branch in Baltimore

CK Commercial recently completed an interior fit-out of SECU Credit Union’s branch at 250 W. Pratt Street in Baltimore. The new space includes a concierge and waiting area, offices, and an ATM area. 

Although the location is smaller than the typical SECU branch, the space features an open floor plan that is maximized by the use of high ceilings and lots of glass, including sliding doors and glass storefront systems. The interior of the space is lively and vibrant, utilizing a variety of finishes, including accent paint colors, different wallcoverings, and millwork. 

The deck height of the space was almost two stories high which was challenging for anything that needed to be supported from the ceiling. The project also contained existing HVAC ductwork that required a workaround and caused additional structural reviews to ensure the walls that were being built would be stable, resulting in reinforcing the walls with additional bracing. A significant amount of coordination with the security and low voltage subcontractors and infrastructure was required to accommodate the security system.

The opening of this new SECU branch on Pratt Street is central to their goal to not only make a positive impact on the financial well-being of Marylanders, especially in Baltimore City, where many of their members live and work, but also to build relationships with many of the local businesses in the Inner Harbor area. 

Congratulations to SECU Credit Union, Ammon Heisler Sachs Architects, and the rest of the project team on a great project!
