The Missoula Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative established in 1956.  Social involvement and community leadership are part of the MFCU philosophy and operating principles.  When they began planning their new branch on Russell Street, the MFCU Board of Directors decided they wanted to pursue Platinum Certification in the LEED for New Construction program as a way to demonstrate their long term commitment to the social, environmental and economic health of their community.
