Team Bank Teller

This is the process log of a ‘full-build’ project by three industrial design students, Bryan Ake, Laura Fleece and Emma Hoop,  from Georgia Tech. Our aim was to create the best ‘universal’ workspace for bank tellers that we could conceive. The dimensions of our project were driven by Henry Dryfuss’s Measure of Man and Woman, and were meant to allow people of all abilities to enjoy working as a bank teller.  

Features included:

• a shared, secure space for the tellers behind the desks
• curved, shell-like passageways create a safe space for personal interaction between the bank customer and teller
• lights on the edges of the walls cue the customers when it is their turn to avoid awkward lines
• dimensions driven by the Dreyfus measurements means that everything is wheelchair accessible

This project was completed in April 2009 during a junior design studio taught by David VanArsdale.
