Windover Construction is celebrating the completion of two locations for the Institution for Savings, a nearly 200 year old bank with seven locations on Boston's North Shore. The first was a large-scale renovation of one of the bank's most visible locations on Storey Ave. The second assignment involved creating a new full-service location within an 1809 historic building in downtown Topsfield.
The renovation on Storey Ave. transformed the bank's exterior and interior. The logistically challenging assignment required the Windover team to complete the project while the branch remained fully operational. The expansion includes a spacious second floor with additional retail and lending offices, a conference room and employee lounge, while reflecting the Bank's historic New England roots.
In Topsfield, the1809 building underwent an extensive renovation and addition, creating a modern and functional branch while preserving the historic building's charm. To accomplish this, the design team incorporated timbers from the original structure into the new design to create a beautiful, cathedral ceiling. A drive-thru and ATM were also added.
"Complex assignments like these are where Windover truly excels," said Stuart Meurer, vice president of Windover.
"Both locations presented their own challenges, but Windover overcame every one and did a tremendous job," said Michael Jones, president & CEO.
