Tuscaloosa Teachers Credit Union selects Momentum as its Design-Build Partner, Begins Charting Course for the Future
TUSCALOOSA, AL (August 2, 2013) — Tuscaloosa Teachers Credit Union (TTCU), headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Alabama has announced it has chosen Momentum, a national design-build firm, to assist in the development of its long-term facilities strategy. TTCU has tapped Momentum to provide market analysis and research, branch network planning, main operations center planning and renovation, return on facilities investment analysis, and real estate services.
The $120 Million credit union conducted a comprehensive national search for a design-build partner that included more than eight potential firms. The process included extensive due diligence, multiple interviews and an evaluation of each firm’s history of performance with credit union clients. “It was a long process, but we are confident we took every reasonable step to ensure thorough due diligence was conducted on each of the firms. In the end, we felt Momentum’s approach, expertise, and overall track record with other credit unions made them an ideal fit for us”, said Greg Sassaman, President of TTCU. “On the day I began formally contacting companies, Momentum was the first to reply and their responsiveness and enthusiasm has been exemplary since. Momentum distinguished themselves with their research capabilities, creativity, and their vision in facility design to help TTCU offices become more noticeable, identifiable and functional, both outside and in.” Sassaman added.
Chartered in 1953, TTCU has a network of three retail branches, including its main operations center in downtown Tuscaloosa. Momentum will take a holistic approach to developing a strategy for the credit union, ensuring alignment with the organization’s long-term mission and objectives. “We are honored to be selected as TTCU’s partner, and we see great growth potential for the organization in the years to come. The leadership team at TTCU has a clear vision of who they are and what they offer to their members”, said Jim Haack, President of Momentum.
