New EPISD headquarters
EL PASO, Texas Box by box, desk by desk, hundreds of El Paso Independent School District employees are starting to move closer to downtown.
The EPISD new Central Offices are relocating from east El Paso to a renovated building at 1100 N. Stanton Street and a new building across the street on the lot where the old Hotel Dieu hospital used to be.
On Tuesday, the board is expected to authorize the final payment on the multi-million dollar project.
A spokeswoman for EPISD says not all employees will be moving in right away into the buildings that will be housing upwards of 400 employees. Parking was an initial concern, however the district tells ABC-7 these facilities are capable of housing employee and visitor vehicles.
