Denver Fire Dept. Federal Credit Union Has Moved!

The Denver Fire Department Federal Credit Union has moved to a new location west of downtown Denver.  The credit union opened its doors at the new location on November 21^st, 2017.

After weighing many options, the strategic decision was made by the DFDFCU Board of Directors to completely renovate a building that was previously a technical university building.  The building is over 18,000 square feet and includes an event center that has a picturesque view of Lake Rhoda with historical ties to Lakeside Amusement Park across the lake.  The new location offers the Credit Union an opportunity to work jointly with the firefighters it serves.  It includes office space for local firefighter unions and foundation groups, in addition to an event center that can be rented by firefighters for a wide variety of uses.  Additional tenants include the Colorado Professional Firefighters, Local 858, and Firefighter Events.

Throughout the building, members and guests can enjoy different details and types of wood including shou sugi ban.  Shou sugi ban is a treatment technique from Japan that is done on wood that helps protect it from pests, mold and also make it fire resistant.  They also can find an antique fire truck, hydrant handles to the faucets, an axe barn door handle and much more!

With the expansion in space, DFDFCU is able to accommodate more staff comfortably with private offices in the credit union.  Financial Services Consultants are no longer standing at a teller line which gives members the comfort and security to conduct their transactions in private offices.  The modern upgrade is attributed to the dedication from our firefighter membership of almost 80 years.

The project began in March 2016 and was completed in November 2017 by the design-build team Punch Architecture and Financial Construction Services.
