Maugel DeStefano Architects designs new bank branch for Milford Federal Bank

Milford, MA Maugel DeStefano Architects has begun construction on a new Milford Federal Bank branch located at 67 Medway Rd. 

Sited on the high visibility corner of Medway and Branch Sts., the ground-up construction features a large open concept public banking area with exposed structure, individual banking pods, private lender and manager offices, a conference room, and an employee break room. The design concept marries the welcoming experience of being at home – familiar to long-standing members – with a fresh, innovative aesthetic to attract new members. Exterior features include a walk-up ATM in the main vestibule, canopied drive-up teller locations, and a monumental sign with a flagpole and seating area.

“Milford Federal’s thoughtful team took great care to create a modern banking environment that reflects the bank’s brand and vision,” said Sarah Cormier, project manager at Maugel DeStefano Architects. “The end result is a welcoming space that provides all the modern banking amenities while retaining the friendly, family-like culture cherished by all clients – both long-time and new.”

In addition to Milford Federal and Maugel DeStefano Architects, team members include Lobisser & Ferreira, general contractor; BLW, MEP/FP; TFMoran, structural; and Allen Engineering, civil. 

Construction completion is scheduled for the end of 2023.
