The $490 million Mazuma Credit Union is building itself a newheadquarters that will feature dialogue towers instead of tellerwindows, a coffee bar and a fitness center, among otheramenities.

The 60,000-square-foot facility also will feature a three-storyatrium and will be located in Overland Park, Kan., across the stateline from Mazuma's current headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.

Groundbreaking is set for July 11 and the new headquarters isscheduled to open in September 2014. The current headquarters willbecome a branch for members in south Kansas City, the credit union said.

“We're growing and our current headquarters no longer offers thespace and infrastructure we need to expand,” said Brandon Michaels, president/CEO of 52,700-memberMazuma.

“More importantly, we're responding to the demand for serviceswith the dramatic increase of members in Johnson County,” hesaid.

The new building also will feature a backlit glass exterior thatlights up the skyline and walkout terraces for a scenic view. Thedialogue towers will allow for more personalized and efficientservice, Michaels said.

The headquarters also will house a 1,700-square-foot communitycenter available to local residents and a series of uniquely themed'innovation areas.'

“We'll use these areas like mini think tanks to brainstorm thebest products and services for our members,” Michaels said.

Mazuma has set up awebsite with details about the project, including drawings,video interviews with designers and a blog.
