Mechanic Savings Bank’s new campus will be on the corner of Minot Avenue and Elm Street in Auburn.

Mechanics Savings Bank is building a new multi-million dollar campus in Auburn. The plans include a new 4,140 square-foot branch on the corner of Minot Avenue and Elm Street. The project, which broke ground this week, is slated for completion in May of 2015. The bank will also renovate its existing 10,000 square foot office building, with an anticipated completion date in late 2016.

The new campus layout accommodates ample customer parking and green space. The interior of the new branch will incorporate updates for an improved customer experience.

Mechanics Savings Bank headquarters have been in Auburn since it’s founding in 1875. “We believe we are making an investment that will meet customer and community needs for the next century,” said Mechanics Savings Bank President Rick Vail. “We also hope our initiative can serve as a catalyst to begin improving the gateway into the City of Auburn.”

Harriman Architects + Engineers and Hebert Construction have been hired to build the new campus. The services of additional local sub-contractors will also be engaged.

With branches in Auburn, Lewiston, Brunswick and Windham, Mechanics Savings Bank is a full-service community bank with a reputation for its customer-centric culture. For the third consecutive year, was just named one of the Best Places to Work in Maine. The bank is an Equal Housing Lender and Member FDIC. For more information, see www.mechanicssavings.com.
