Creating a community bank headquarters that supports employees, welcomes customers, and reflects a vision for the future.

When Bank of Brodhead began planning its new headquarters in Milton, Wisconsin, the goal was about more than constructing a new building. The bank wanted a space that reflected its commitment to community banking while creating an exceptional experience for employees, customers, and visitors alike.

To bring that vision to life, Bank of Brodhead partnered with LERDAHL to deliver a complete workplace furniture solution that would support collaboration, productivity, and connection throughout the new space.

The Challenge

A new headquarters presents a unique opportunity to reimagine how people work, but it also requires careful coordination between multiple partners, priorities, and timelines.

As the project progressed, Bank of Brodhead needed a furniture partner who could work seamlessly with the general contractor and the bank’s team to ensure every workspace aligned with both the building design and the needs of employees.

Our Approach

At LERDAHL, we believe the best workplace design solutions come from truly understanding how people work and what they need from their space.

Throughout the project, our focus was on listening to learn how Bank of Brodhead’s employees interact with their environment, how they serve their customers, and what would help them feel supported day to day. By working closely with both the project team, we were able to translate those insights into thoughtful furniture selections that aligned with the building design while enhancing functionality.

Every decision was made with intention. From private offices to shared spaces, we refined layouts and product choices to ensure each area supported its purpose: whether that meant creating efficient workstations, comfortable meeting environments, or welcoming spaces for customers.

The result is a workplace where the furniture doesn’t just fill the space. It supports the people using it, helping the bank deliver on its commitment to service, connection, and community.

The Solution

LERDAHL’s approach focused on delivering a workplace solution that aligned with Bank of Brodhead’s operational needs, aesthetic vision, and long-term goals.

By taking time to understand how employees would work within the new headquarters, our team curated a cohesive office furniture solution that supports both individual focus and team collaboration. Every selection was made with intention, from balancing functionality, flexibility, and a clean, modern design that complements the architecture of the building.

The result is a thoughtfully designed commercial furniture solution that enhances the overall workplace experience while maintaining consistency throughout the space.

Workplace design features included:
  • Private offices designed for focus and productivity
  • Open workstations for administrative and support teams
  • Conference rooms and meeting spaces
  • Training and learning environments
  • Lounge areas that encourage collaboration and connection
  • Outdoor furniture for employee use
  • Integrated monitor arms, power access, and cable management solutions

The Results: A Modern Workplace Built for Growth and Talent

Today, Bank of Brodhead’s new community bank headquarters provides a welcoming, professional environment that supports employees while creating a positive experience for customers and visitors.

The furniture selection complements the architecture and interior design of the building, creating a cohesive environment that reflects the bank’s values and long-term vision. Employees have access to spaces that support focused work, collaboration, training, and informal connection to help create a workplace where people feel comfortable, productive, and engaged.

Through trust, thoughtful workplace design, proactive communication, and a shared commitment to achieving the best outcome, Bank of Brodhead and LERDAHL collaborated to deliver a headquarters designed to serve the organization for years to come.
