Wintrust Mayfair

 
 

Wintrust Mayfair

Building on the Wintrust Bank, previously First Chicago Bank & Trust, philosophy as community bankers, this new branch location’s Prairie-style design aesthetic complements the neighborhood’s architectural character while delivering a LEED® Gold rated facility.

The design incorporates a high-performing building envelope and mechanical/electrical systems; uses regionally sourced and recycled content materials; and, ample daylighting and views. A closed-loop geothermal system, consisting of eight wells 500’ deep and 5” in diameter, heats and cools the facility.
