Spokane Teachers Credit Union just broke ground for its 15th area branch, near University High School.
The new branch, at 13211 E. 32nd, will be open later this year, according to a press release.
It will be the second STCU branch in Spokane Valley.
Baker Construction & Development is contractor for the 3,496-square-foot branch, which is designed to meet U.S. Green Building Council standards for LEED Gold certification for sustainable building and development practices.
Designed by Nystrom+Olson Architecture, the building will have craftsman-style elements.
The release noted Spokane Valley's population of 91,836 is anticipated to grow by roughly 16,000 in the next 20 years.
