Columbia Credit Union will break ground on a 20,000 square‐foot addition and remodel to its main operations center in December.

“Consolidating our offices helps the credit union run more efficiently and maximizes collaboration,” said Columbia President & CEO Steve Kenny in a press release. “It’ll strengthen our ability to provide members with optimal value and service.”

A financial center with Columbia branch services, wealth management and business lending will remain in downtown Vancouver.

EHS Design Architects developed the expansion and remodel design. Local contractor, Team Construction will lead the construction phase.

“In addition to preserving natural resources and building sustainably, we‘re hiring local firms to keep jobs local as a benefit to our community,” added Kenny. “We’re making a significant commitment to support and grow with Clark County.”
