To support long-term growth, Meritrust Credit Union relocated its administrative headquarters to the heart of downtown Wichita. TESSERE partnered closely with Meritrust to lead an extensive programming effort that evaluated their existing operations and guided the strategic transition into their new space.
The project included a full renovation of the multi-story building, with design upgrades to all floors, including new flooring, wall and ceiling finishes, and refreshed restrooms. Meritrust occupies the ground-floor lobby and six additional floors, with three floors reserved for future tenants.
The design focused on flexibility and vibrancy, creating a modern environment for both employees and members. New amenities, such as an outdoor balcony, enhance the experience for the approximately 250 team members based in the building.
TESSERE provided architecture, interior design, cost estimating, project management, and site planning services for the project. Meritrust opened the renovated building to the public in 2019.
