Androscoggin Bank

  PROJECT: 670 Turner Street
  LOCATION: Auburn, Maine
  CLIENT: Eagle Properties
  SERVICES: Architect - Engineer

This ten thousand square foot brick building has three separate occupants: a branch bank, a photo shop, and a greeting cards store. All three tenant spaces share a common lobby with a distinctive gable canopy highlighting the main entrance. Platz Associates was responsible for the interior design of all three spaces as well as the exterior design of the building and site plan engineering.

Although a small site, the site presented several difficulties. Due to state access controls, only one entrance was allowed into the site. Combined with the need for a drive-up window, on-site traffic circulation patterns presented a challenge. Due to the topography of surrounding lots, drainage was also a concern. In addition to the engineering necessary to design the site and address these issues, Platz Associates was also responsible for obtaining all permits necessary through the Auburn Planning Board.

Androscoggin Savings Bank, one of the building's tenants, was so pleased with its space that it has retained Platz Associates to design two new branch bank buildings. They especially liked the gabled entrance, which is being incorporated into the design of the new buildings as part of the bank's corporate image.
