Nearly 100 employees for the State Health Department are now looking for new

office space after being forced to vacate their facility near I-40 and Council

because of mold.

" We are taking every precaution necessary, and we are going to do testing and we

are going to make sure they are all working in a safe working environment, " said

-Kain,Oklahoma State Health Department.

For most of Friday morning, clean up crews were coming and going from parts of

the old Lucent Technology Plant that was recently leased to the state.

Although the building is 50-years-old officials believe most of the mold

actually came from the State Health Department's old offices at Lincoln plaza

that flooded earlier this year and the moldy files were moved to the new

facility.

Health officials are now working with the state leasing department to find a new

building.
