BACKGROUND: As part of the City's ongoing space planning efforts to maximize the utilization and cost effectiveness of its real estate assets, it was determined that it was in the City's best interest to move the Department of Human Resources Citywide Training function from the Piedmont Building to space available in the lower level of the Jerry Hammond Center at 1111 E.
