The new Department of Employment Services (DOES) headquarters is now open for business.
Located at 4058 Minnesota Avenue, NE, this brand new five-story government facility includes:
- 229,000 square feet of office space housing 450 government employees;
- A one-stop DC Works! Career Center for District job-seekers;
- 6,500 square feet of retail space for local businesses; and
- A large community meeting room.
The building's close proximity to the adjacent Minnesota Avenue Metro station will promote more public transit ridership to the area and the new mixed-use amenities neighboring the building will be attractive to DOES employees and customers.
The building is tracking LEED Gold certification and includes a 24,000 square feet green roof, the largest District-owned green roof in the city.
