Mobile Government Plaza
Mobile Government Plaza, also known as the City-County Administration Building, is a high-rise in the U.S. city of Mobile, Alabama.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mobile Government Plaza )〕 Completed in 1994 at a cost of US$73 million, the building rises and 12 stories at its highest point.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mobile Government Plaza: Fast Facts )〕 The roof of the building is the site of two twin architectural spires that are included in the tower's overall structural height.〔 Government Plaza is tied with the Mobile Marriott as the 4th-tallest building in Mobile and the 10th-tallest in Alabama. It also stands as the tallest government building in the state.〔
==Design==
Government Plaza was designed by Harry Goleman and Mario Bolullo of Houston, in cooperation with Mobile architect Frederick C. Woods. Their design was selected from among 195 entries in a national competition sponsored by the American Institute of Architects. The facility comprises a 12-story administration tower and a 9-story judicial tower, connected by a massive glass-enclosed atrium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mobile Government Plaza )〕 It was the first government structure in the United States to combine county and municipal governments and the court system in one space.〔 Designed to evoke a nautical feel appropriate to Mobile's status as a seaport, the building is an example of Post-Modernist style architecture.〔〔
Since the building opened, the building's roof has had a history of leaking, especially when the area is hit with heavy rains. Trash cans cordoned off with yellow caution tape are not an uncommon sight in the building's lobby.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mobile Government Plaza roof leaks getting worse )〕 Plans are being made to update the building's roof.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plans to update Government Plaza roof )〕
