Window Retrofittings at the Frick Environmental Center

The new Frick Environmental Center (FEC) is a model of sustainability, but even green buildings can have problems with bird-window collisions. Over the past two years the staff of the FEC have monitored the windows at the building and found a few that needed retrofitting. This fall we installed a film on two windows at the FEC. They chose a film called “Rain” by Collidescape which looks like a field of white dots (see below). The windows were tall and took many sheets to cover completely. A few windows are still in need of retrofitting and Acopian Birdsavers are going to be installed on them in the near future.

Contact us with more information on how to get films like these on YOUR home, or check out our “Why birds hit windows” page for more information on window collisions and treatment options.
