Media Buzz About Bird-friendly Windows

In the construction of the new UAB Altec Styslinger Genomic Medicine and Data Sciences Building in Birmingham, our team at Williams Blackstock Architects has integrated a unique design feature to address bird safety, responding to a growing concern in urban design. At the request of the UAB, known for its commitment to sustainability, we have incorporated etched glass with a bird protection frit into the building's 6-story curtainwall, which spans nearly 50,000 square feet.

This initiative aligns with UAB's goal to achieve LEED Silver certification for the project and reflects a broader vision for a sustainable campus. Learn more about this innovative initiative design featured in BhamNow.
