Phoenix MEPS
Phoenix, AZ
Prior to July 1983, the Phoenix MEPS, or AFEES, was located in downtown Phoenix. In July 1983, it was relocated to a national historical site, the Monroe School Building, at 215 N. 7th Street. The tall columns supporting the front of the building and the rustic wood and glass entrance etched a lasting impression upon everyone who entered.
In June 1998, the Phoenix MEPS moved to 1 North First Street, in downtown Phoenix, where it operated until January 2013. The Phoenix MEPS moved to its current location at 2800 N. Central Avenue in February 2013. The 2800 N. Central Tower is a 21-story Class A office building located in the heart of the Phoenix Midtown submarket.
