Temporary State Agency Locations Announced

The Wyoming Department of Administration and Information, Construction Management Division has announced the temporary locations of state offices and agencies impacted by the Capitol Square Project.

The Capitol Square Project is major renovation of the national historic landmark Wyoming State Capitol and the adjacent Herschler Building, as well as an executive office addition to the Herschler. This complex multi-year project will repair and modernize the buildings while making health, safety, security and electrical upgrades.

To reduce costs, shorten the construction process and reduce disruption to the public and state government activities, the State Capitol will be vacated during the renovation and construction process. However, not all state employees will leave the Herschler Building during construction. The west side of the Herschler Building will be occupied while the east side of the Herschler Building will be renovated first.

With a few exceptions, most of the initial moves to interim spaces will occur in the summer of 2015. Construction Management is working with each agency to develop a move schedule, which will be released as decisions are finalized.

Here is the current list of where agencies will be located while the work goes on:

• The following agencies will move from the Herschler building to the Capitol Hill building (former Delta Dental building) located at 320 West 25th Street: Fire Prevention & Electrical Safety, Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities, Attorney General Division of Victim Services and Attorney General Division of School Finance Litigation.
