Bread Loaf Corp.

Scope Of Work

Bread Loaf was retained by People’s United Bank to design and construct their new 12,000 square foot office and bank building in Middlebury, Vermont. The two-story brick structure has stone details, natural wood accents and a copper roof. The scale of the design and materials used addresses both the character of the residential structures along Court Street and the commercial and civic buildings of the village.

Reflecting a shared commitment to community and social responsibility, People’s United Bank and Bread Loaf worked together to obtain LEED™ Certification for the project’s environmental design features.
