* * * The Bank set a number of objectives for the design of the building: to establish a productive workplace for our city centre staff; to ensure that the building is environmentally sustainable, with a high energy rating; and to recognise that the new headquarters would be a major city landmark for the decades ahead.
Accordingly, while the shell of the building was already in place, there was considerable effort to adapt the design to reflect the “One Bank” culture we seek to foster in the organisation.
