WESTconsin Credit Union Announces Plans for New Administrative Center in Menomonie

WESTERN WI— Construction will be underway in early September as WESTconsin Credit Union breaks ground on a 35,000 square foot, two-story Administrative Center. The new facility will be built on vacant land the credit union owns directly west of their Menomonie – East Office located at 3333 Schneider Avenue. The building will house WESTconsin’s Service Center, Human Resources, Training, Member Experience, Accounting, Payment Operations, and Risk Management departments, as well as Corporate Officers. Spaces for training and meeting rooms are also included.

“We have seen significant growth in the number of communities and members we serve over the past several years,” reports Lora Benrud, CEO of WESTconsin Credit Union. “This project will provide us better physical space for our team members, who are presently working from other Menomonie office locations. It will also help us continue providing the best member experience possible for years to come.” 

The credit union is working with local area companies River Valley Architects and Hoeft Builders. Anticipated opening is in late spring 2019.
