During fiscal year 2005, OPC planned for the relocation of the agency to new office space.  The planning process involved preserving the positive features of OPC’s original offices on 11th Street, NW – being easily accessible to the public, but located away from MPD and DCHAPD buildings and stations and other government offices to provide the public with a less intimidating environment in which to file a complaint – while finding new offices that would accommodate the size of OPC’s staff and be better equipped for the agency to do its work.  OPC found larger office space that met its needs at 1400 I Street, NW, Suite 700.  The new office space consolidated OPC’s staff onto one floor and provided the agency with a larger waiting area, more interview rooms, larger conference rooms, a room to conduct training, space to properly house and protect IT and telephone equipment, and additional space to accommodate any future growth.

The agency’s relocation to its new offices was finally completed on December 31, 2005.
