Yesterday, while attending my son’s indoor track meet, I was happy to see a huge bird-safe window at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island, NY. Different sized nature and athletic icons are fritted onto the glass on this huge window looking out over the ocean. We are seeing more and more examples of this around the country, but hadn’t seen this project mentioned online before. The $112 million building, completed in 2015, is silver LEED certified, with some native plantings incorporated into the landscaping as well.

I wasn’t able to get close enough for my own photo, so check out a closeup of the window pattern design in the background of this photo posted online or this Twitter shot here.
