EEOC HEADQUARTERS AND WFO MOVING TO 131 M STREET, NE

Washington Field Office Open to Public at New Location on Nov. 19

 

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity  Commission (EEOC) Headquarters and Washington Field Office (WFO) are relocating to 131 M Street, NE, beginning Nov. 19. All phone numbers, fax numbers, and  e-mail addresses will remain the same.

The lease for the EEOC Headquarters at 1801 L Street, NW, expired in July  2008. In May 2007, the General Services  Administration announced the signing of a 10-year lease for office space at the  EEOC’s new Headquarters location, also known as One NoMa Station. NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) is  an emerging mixed-use neighborhood north of the U.S. Capitol and Union Station. Further information about the NoMa area can be  found online at www.nomabid.org.

The WFO is responsible for processing charges of discrimination against  private, state and local government employers in the District  of Columbia and Northern Virginia,  and for administering hearings regarding complaints against federal government  employers in these geographic areas. One of 53 EEOC field offices nationwide, the  WFO has shared space with Headquarters staff since August 2004. The new address  for the WFO, effective Wednesday, Nov. 19, is:

EEOC Washington Field Office
131 M Street, NE
Fourth Floor, Suite 4NWO2F
Washington, DC 20507-0100

The public is welcome to contact the WFO in person. Walk-in hours are Monday  through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with daily hours of operation from 8 a.m.  to 4:30 p.m. The WFO is metro accessible  via the “New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U” station on the Red Line (M and  Second Streets Exit).
