Construction firm Robins & Morton celebrated the topping out of Bank Independent’s state-of-the-art operations center in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, on July 8.
The topping out ceremony represents a significant milestone with the placement of the final steel beam, signifying the structural completion of the project.
The four-story, 100,000-square-foot center will house about 300 team members, allowing Bank Independent to consolidate five offices into one location. It will include spacious offices, functional communal workspaces, training rooms, a café, and a fitness center.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2025. It marks the fourth project on which Bank Independent and Robins & Morton have partnered, including 225 Holmes Avenue, Bank Independent Branch & Office Downtown Huntsville, and Bank Independent South Huntsville Branch on Hays Farm.
“This milestone represents the hard work of our team members and trade contractor partners on this project,” Robins & Morton Division Manager Mitch Coley said. “We’re appreciative of the continued trust placed in us by Bank Independent to bring this building to life for their staff.”
Robins & Morton is the general contractor for the project. Lambert Ezell Durham is the architect of record and KPS Group is the associate architect.
