A downtown Oklahoma City landmark reimagined with glass, green space and a renewed connection to the urban fabric.

The original home of Liberty Bank was purchased by BancFirst with the goal of restoring and reimagining the downtown Oklahoma City icon. The renovation introduced a sleek, contemporary look with the removal of architectural columns at the entry, a new all-glass façade spanning the building’s full height and a redesigned plaza envisioned as a welcoming, park-like space.

The plaza concept incorporates pathways for food trucks, ample seating and green space for employees and pedestrians. Sculptural glass pyramids provide visual interest, highlight the glass façade and offer views into Oklahoma City’s underground pedestrian tunnels. Inside, the building was transformed with warm woods and modern finishes that complement the glass exterior while reflecting the BancFirst brand.

Wallace Design Collective provided structural engineering services for the renovation of the 190,000 square foot office tower, its ground-level plaza and the 230,000 square feet of glass façade.
