This six-story 56,000 sf office building in Iowa City, Iowa, houses operational functions for MidWestOne, a growing regional bank. The ground level accommodates a mortgage center and drive-through personal banking. The two floors above coordinate regional operations. Levels four and five are reserved for future tenants, and a penthouse accommodates indoor and outdoor events.

The building harnesses passive and active energy concepts. Tall ceilings, and full-height glazing are part of the natural lighting strategy. Geothermal and photovoltaic systems, along with an advanced thermally-activated concrete core with an encased hydronic piping, allowed to downsize the building’s mechanical systems.
