Premier Bank’s newest location in Rochester, MN, blends early 20th-century architectural charm with the innovation and efficiency of total precast construction. Originally designed for traditional masonry, the project shifted to a full precast solution to stay on schedule, control costs, and continue construction through Minnesota’s winter months—allowing other trades to begin their work quickly in the fully enclosed building.

The three-story bank was designed to resemble a historic bank building, complete with picture frame panels, intricate cornice detailing, and thin brick finishes. The building includes two drive-through lanes; the drive-through structure features load-bearing panels engineered with wide openings to accommodate the two lanes and provide ATM access. Using prefabricated load-bearing panels and hollowcore, an elevated patio is supported above the drive-through. Prefabricated cornices, recessed window accents, and symmetrical facades give the structure its classic character.
