City of Fort Wayne HQ Window Cleaning
Citizens Square at 200 E. Berry Street is the seat of government for both the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County, home to more than forty departments under one roof. Before the city and county moved in, the building housed the Lincoln Museum.
It is a big building that doesn’t look tall from the street. The footprint runs most of a downtown block, and the glass comes in several different forms that each need their own approach.
One building, four kinds of glass
The upper floors are wrapped in long ribbon windows that run the length of each elevation. At the corners, recessed balcony bays break the runs up and put glass behind railings and under overhangs. The dark stone entrance tower on Berry Street has its own stacked window sets, and at street level a long line of storefront glass sits behind the building’s columns.
We worked the upper glass from a boom lift so each panel could be reached square-on, including the sections tucked into the balcony bays that a pole can’t clean properly from the ground. The street-level glass was cleaned by hand, frames and sills included.
Working around a public building
Citizens Square is open to the public every weekday, and people come and go all day to pay bills, pull permits and attend meetings. The lift stays clear of entrances and walkways, equipment is coned off, and nothing is left across a path someone needs to use.
Government buildings also come with paperwork. Certificates of insurance and site safety documents are ready before the first visit, so facilities staff are not left chasing us for them.
