Jeremy Lamb, of Excelsior Springs, uses high-pressure hot water to clean the exterior of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Kansas City on Wednesday, Jan. 25. Lamb, a 20-year- veteran of high-rise window washing, uses a main line and a safety line to dangle from the center. Lamb, a supervisor with Shawnee Mission-based MTB Services, has been working on cleaning the interior and the exterior and the exterior of the building for about a month. He plans to be finished by this weekend.

What began as a sketch on a napkin has become an architectural icon and home for the performing arts in Kansas City. The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts has changed Kansas City’s skyline, as well as the experiences of artists and audiences throughout the region. Designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie, the building’s most distinctive features are the Muriel McBrien Kauffman Theatre, Helzberg Hall, Brandmeyer Great Hall, its acoustical design and accessibility.

The building Features nearly 285,000-square-foot facility with two main performance halls. Exterior surfaces include glass, pre-cast concrete and bead-blasted stainless steel. 27 cables are anchored by the weight of the pre-cast walls and hold up the glass in the lobby. It also has 196 public restroom stalls in the building!

Woman Fired For Complaining About Window Cleaners

U.S. Bank temp says Occupy post got her fired: Kim Wangnoo said she figured her Facebook post was harmless. From home, the U.S. Bank temp jumped into a discussion on Occupy Minnesota's page about the power-washing of the bank's windows across the street from where the protesters are camped out. She called the window cleaning a waste of time and money. Then she lost her job.

Wangnoo, a 46-year-old mother of four in Brooklyn Center, insists the bank canned her over what she described as a few mild Facebook comments. She called it "creepy." The Minneapolis-based bank, which has been a frequent target of Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, confirmed that Wangnoo no longer works there. It declined to discuss the terms of her departure. But spokesman Tom Joyce confirmed the company sent memos cautioning employees not to engage protesters. "There have been e-mails sent out from our corporate security team ensuring the safety of our employees," Joyce said. "It was really more of a safety issue."

As Wangnoo tells it, she had worked at U.S. Bank through Kelly Services for about four months in a group called Corporate Payment Systems doing new accounts for credit cards for trucking companies. She was alert to the protest camp in the Hennepin County Government Center plaza across the street, she said, not only because it was so close, but because her stepson, a college student, was part of it. She supports the movement, she said, "but from a distance." And she was annoyed at the window-cleaning. The metal barricades around the building were inconvenient, and water sometimes sprayed on her as she went in and out.

So, she said, she vented on the Occupy Minnesota Facebook page -- one of a handful of comments she said she made. Then, late last week, her supervisor at U.S. Bank called her into her office. There, a copy of Wangnoo's comments was displayed, as well as an e-mail the company had sent to employees asking them not to talk to protesters. Wangnoo said the supervisor told her she'd violated the bank's policy. A day or so later, Kelly Services told her she'd been fired.
