BACKGROUND
As one of North America’s leading diversified financial services companies, Royal Bank of Canada sought to further differentiate itself in the marketplace and deliver a superior client experience. Based on its extensive branding and standards expertise, Shikatani Lacroix was retained to create design standards for a variety of branch locations.
The Challenge
From key learning, Shikatani Lacroix identified the need for a branch environment that balances privacy and comfort, human interaction, and a modern and efficient design. Aside from reflecting RBC’s positioning as a knowledge resource where clients feel significant and connected, designs needed to be flexible and ensure consistency across a range of branch locations.
