Irvine Royal Bank of Scotland ATMs getting makeover

The machines at RBS Irvine on High Street are set to be replaced with updated models.

The new ATMs will offer 'improved functionality' and better compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

They will also feature updated branded fascia surrounds.

The replacement process involves disconnecting the current machines, removing the face plates, and transporting them offsite.

The bank is a three storey, three bay Italianate palazzo-style building that was built in 1971.

It is open on weekdays from 9.30am till 4.30pm apart from Wednesdays, and is closed at weekends.

Before the new machines are installed, alterations to the existing ATM apertures will be necessary.

This includes lowering the existing floor in the ATM room by varying amounts to accommodate the new models.

The installation of the new ATMs also involves adjustments to the existing sandstone wall and plinth, as well as fitting new stainless steel surrounds.

The floor will then be refilled with a new concrete slab and finished with matching carpet.

The work will be carried out by an experienced stonemason, with a method statement provided to the local authority prior to commencement.

The listed building, described as making a positive contribution to the High Street, is expected to maintain its character post-alterations.
