When Goodwin University in East Hartford, Connecticut, began preparing its campus for the return of students this fall, the facilities team wanted everything to look its best—including the windows and the iconic lighthouse-shaped tower of the main campus building. With six stories of glass and unique architectural challenges, the school turned to OFF THE WALL Power Washing for a safe, efficient, and effective window washing solution.
The Challenge: A Distinctive Building with Difficult Access
The main campus building at Goodwin University is a recognizable landmark in East Hartford, overlooking the Connecticut River. Its modern, glass-heavy design and lighthouse-inspired tower make it a striking centerpiece, but also a challenge to maintain. Traditional window cleaning methods alone weren’t enough to reach the upper levels of the tower safely or efficiently.
Our Solution: A Blend of Traditional and Drone Cleaning
To tackle the job, the OFF THE WALL team used a combination of traditional window-cleaning techniques and advanced drone cleaning technology.
- Traditional Methods: Our trained technicians used pad-and-squeegee techniques and water-fed poles for accessible areas.
- Drone Cleaning: For the tower’s hard-to-reach windows, we deployed our FAA Part 107–certified pilots, flying our drone equipped with a pure-water cleaning system for a streak-free finish.
By combining approaches, we ensured every inch of the glass exterior was cleaned thoroughly.
The Results: Streak-Free Shine from Top to Bottom
In just a couple days, the Goodwin University campus was ready for students. The clean, streak-free windows look great from outside, and made it easier to enjoy the panoramic scenery of the Connecticut River from inside the classrooms and offices.
A spotless, gleaming exterior sets the right tone for their first day of classes, welcoming students with pride, professionalism, and pristine views.
Why This Project Stands Out
This project demonstrates OFF THE WALL’s unique ability to combine decades of experience with the latest technology to deliver exceptional results:
- Expertise: Skilled technicians with the right tools for every situation.
- Efficiency: Completed on time as part of the campus’s fall preparation schedule.
- Safety: Our team stayed safely on the ground while drones handled high-access areas.
