BluCurrent Credit Union serves more than 23,000 members and has over $350 million in assets. While these numbers continue to grow, their new space allows for a growing team.

1. BluCurrent Credit Union made the move to their new space on South National Avenue in January of 2024. After outgrowing their previous space on West Sunset, they found additional facilities to move some of the departments to but ultimately wanted to be back under the same roof again.
2. Having all of the team in the same building has allowed them to cultivate fun opportunities in their break room. “We all enjoy working together so creating those spaces to get coffee or play a game has been received really well,” BluCurrent Credit Union Chief Operations Officer Derek Williams says.
3. When rethinking the office layout, their team went for a hybrid approach, wanting a mix of collaborative spaces and private offices to meet each team member’s needs. “It was the perfect chance for us to rethink our office layout,” Williams says. “It was a pretty substantial remodel to open it up.”
4. While the structure of their new space was well set up, they moved forward with a remodel to customize it to their specific needs, including natural light and more open spaces for both customers and employees. The renovations also added a gym and showers for employees to utilize.
5. The BluCurrent Credit Union team was intentional with each decision along the moving and remodeling process. Their new space pays homage to their longstanding history in the community with photography and typography of the region they serve. Another way they kept this in mind was by naming their conference rooms after the counties they serve. “Naming the conference rooms is just another reminder for us that what we do is to serve our members,” he says. “They’re the reason we have a credit union, and our job is to serve them and help them move forward in their financial lives.”
6. For the renovation process BluCurrent Credit Union used Buxton Kubik Dodd Design Collective and Lee Engineering. While BluCurrent Credit Union’s new space was designed with the customer in mind, they also pioneered video banking suites in 2013 and will continue to offer many of their services online to connect with those who can’t come in in-person. “People’s most valuable resource is their time,” Williams says. “It’s very important for us to be good stewards of our resources by creating efficiencies that can reduce wait times for our members so they can have an expert on hand.”
