There's some extensive work being done on the glass panels of the lobby entrance at 4747 Bethesda Avenue. A team was working on the glass-box-design entrance after hours last night. Panels shattering by themselves have been an issue at the new Class A office building previously. It's unclear if that is the reason for the work this time, but it is the same spot as before.
Glass has fallen and/or shattered at many new downtown Bethesda buildings built since the recession, including 4500 East-West Highway, Cheval Bethesda, and the Flats at 8300. The mysterious breakage has been blamed by at least one expert in the field on flawed imported Chinese glass.'

There’d actually been a shattered panel there for months that had a blue tape X over it. Probably multiple more shattered and they just decided to rip it apart and redo it.
It looks like they simply masked of the glass to spray a clear sealer on the exposed metal frames and address numbers.
