Maugel DeStefano Architects designs 100,000 s/f interior transformation for Northeast Credit Union headquarters

Dover, NH Maugel DeStefano Architects has completed the design renderings of the interior transformation for the future 100,000 s/f headquarters for Northeast Credit Union’s new location.

In July of 2022, Maugel DeStefano partnered with Northeast Credit Union to provide guidance during the site selection process. After careful consideration, Northeast Credit Union chose the building at 100 Education Way. The exterior of the building is going through a complete transformation by PROCON, the architect of record and design builder, who incorporated new facade materials.

 

 

After conducting in-depth programming and collaborative envisioning sessions with each department, several key design influences came to the forefront: a strong emphasis on incorporating natural light, prioritizing employee well-being, optimizing a hybrid work model, and fostering collaboration and creativity.

“It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Northeast Credit Union and PROCON on the design of the credit union’s future headquarters,” said Jennifer Ferreira, director of interiors at Maugel DeStefano Architects. “Our interiors team approached the design with a biophilic mindset, exploring the connection between humans and nature, and selected natural materials that harmonized with the landscape, creating an organic, modern aesthetic.”

 

 

The future plans will also capture the beauty of the natural surroundings by incorporating trees and plantings, outdoor seating areas, corporate gardens, and access to the nearby walking paths. Demolition is currently underway, with phased construction expected to be finalized by early 2025 by the PROCON design-build team.

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
