On a site that once was owned by Deere & Company as a part of Moline’s industrial riverfront, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union invested in the future with a new $25 million headquarters. The 90,000 square feet, four-story facility sits on the banks of the Mississippi and represents a high-quality development and corporate headquarters. Russell provided complete program management services while acting as the design/builder to assist IHMVCU in project definition, programming, site analysis, municipal entitlement coordination and pro forma development. The Leo A. Daly-designed building accommodates an employee-centered culture.
The facility consolidated about 300 employees from other locations and serves as the center of operations among the company’s 13 locations in Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa. A three-story atrium faces the Mississippi River and uses its sweeping views of the river valley to encourage occupants to take the stairs. The atrium is illuminated by a digital multiplex system and LED lighting, which can be changed to reflect special occasions.
