FARMINGTON, N.Y. — ESL Federal Credit Union plans to open a renovated, 70,000-square-foot corporate office in the spring to accommodate more than 150 employees.
The facility at 1100 Corporate Drive will provide room for the credit union’s growth and expand its presence in the Finger Lakes region, according to the publication. ESL’s headquarters will remain at 225 Chestnut St. in downtown Rochester, according to the Rochester Business Journal.
The project follows the $10.8-billion ESL’s acquisition of Generations Bank in January, which expanded the credit union’s footprint in the Finger Lakes, the Business Journal reported.
“As an organization whose purpose is to help our communities thrive and prosper, this investment reflects our long-term commitment to deepening relationships across the Finger Lakes region,” ESL President and CEO Tom Rogers said, according to the Business Journal.
Four Training Rooms, Wellness Room
The renovated office will include four training rooms, a wellness room, a cafe, a fitness center and spaces for meetings and collaboration. The renovation also is expected to generate work for local contractors, the publication reported.
ESL has owned the Farmington property for nearly 20 years and previously used it for information technology and training operations, according to the Business Journal.
The new office will not provide branch services. Existing ESL locations will continue serving members throughout the renovation and opening process, and the drive-up ATM at the Farmington property will remain available, the publication reported.
