VergesRome Architects developed the new branch prototype design for Hancock Whitney Bank. The building design is flexible in scale to allow adjustments to the building program for a specific site. The first branch built is in Metairie, Louisiana, at Lakeside Shopping Center.

The building area is 2,829 sf and includes five private offices, a conference room, and space for four tellers. There are also three drive-up lanes, a drive-up ATM, and a walk-up ATM. Provisions to add a future second drive-up ATM are incorporated into the prototype design.

The interior walls of the branch are built with DIRTT manufactured interior wall systems to allow for easy modification in the future, with little disruption to bank operations
