The Floor Plan
The floor plan under revise is that of ABC Bank, located in New York. The purpose of the floor plan is to aid the provision of financial services in banking and consultancy. According to Gouin (2007), a floor plan of an organization should conform to both its organizational purpose and security measures. Therefore, the floor plan of ABC Bank has three main sections; the customer service area, the banking hall area and the financial services area. This setup gives the bank the ability to expand sections, merge sections or transfer the functions of one section to another.
The three floor plan sections of the bank make the general and specific purposes of the institution. The customer service section is lower with large space for customer queuing and several desk spaces for consultation. The banking hall area occupies the largest space of the floor plan. The section contains the telling section, which is the main financial part of the bank as it involves depositing and withdrawal of money by customers over the counter. The section has ten personalized booths which are well distanced in the floor plan. The final section of financial services is mainly staffed and administrative part, with staff offices and personalized corporate banking sub-sections.
According to Wortley and Mazerolle (2013), adequate security features of a floor plan should involve mechanical, human and technological features. The bank has several sections for armed guards and unarmed security officers. For instance, the left side and right sides are fitted with fixed locations for security and bank guides. The bank has three main mechanical doors, with each section with its own secure doors. There is one secure room with complex mechanical security of safes and key locks for keeping liquid cash. Technologically, the entire floor plan is under full 24-hour CCTV camera surveillance. In addition, the floor plan has one dedicated room for security monitoring and coordination of all the security features.
