Anyone wishing to tour can simply drop in during those times. A self-guided tour will be available for the 100,000 square-foot building. MP3 players will be available or visitors can download the tour on their smart phone using a QR code.

The new building, designed by the architectural firm of GUND Partnership of Cambridge, Mass., was constructed with local New Hampshire labor. Construction of the building was managed by Suffolk Construction of Boston, Massachusetts. One of the most successful privately held building contractors in the country, the company provides preconstruction, construction management, design-build, and general contracting services to clients in all major industry sectors.  

The four-story building features a full-service, 24/7 live person contact center, foreign exchange, member check imaging, processing and control, finance, marketing, community rooms, conference rooms, and departmental and executive offices.  The three community rooms will be offered for use by local city government, not-for-profit organizations and other community-based associations to help with the growing need for meeting space in Portsmouth and nearby towns. A museum documents Service Credit Union’s rich history. The outside features walking trails, pavilion lunch area and expansive landscaping.
