Bankoh Pearl Harbor Branch

When the largest bank in Hawai'i finally found a new location to replace the expiring Pearl Harbor branch lease, there was no time for conventional construction. The architects thought the bank would have to settle for a trailer-like building. Instead, the 40'x 62' full service branch is a "plantation-style" building constructed of three modules. The architects were able to design the building to their guidelines and high standards.

Quality materials such as Ultra Tech cherry wood flooring by Permagrain, standing seam metal roof, custom security system, full-size vault by Diebold, safety deposit rooms, and ATM machines were included; quality and security standards as well as technical and aesthetic issues required by a bank were met.

The modular building was married to the modular vault, accepting all security components for the safety deposit room, and the complex security and telecomm data lines. The modular vault was constructed separate from the modular building; the bank building was butted up against the vault structure, connected and perfectly matched.

The bank avoided need for a temporary site to service the customers. The bank transferred accounts to the new site without disruption in customers' ability to go to a convenient location.
