Federal education officials are preparing for a significant relocation this summer as the department undergoes major downsizing efforts.
Come August, workers from the Education Department will pack up and move to a more compact office space located approximately one block from their current location. Meanwhile, the Energy Department, which requires more space, will take possession of the education agency’s former headquarters building.
The office swap represents part of broader changes affecting the federal education agency as it operates with reduced staffing levels. The transition will see the larger facility handed over to accommodate the Energy Department’s expanded operations.
