Bird-Friendly Building Design Cover rendering and photo this page: The new Bridge for Laboratory Sciences building at Vassar College, designed by Richard Olcott/Ennead Architects, redefines the identity of the sciences on the College’s historic campus and provides technologically advanced facilities for students, faculty, and researchers. Fundamental to the building’s design is its seamless integration with the natural landscape, scale, and campus aesthetic of the College. In this natural wooded setting, the need for strategies to reduce bird collisions with the building was apparent. In response, the building was designed to comply with LEED Pilot Credit 55: Bird Collision Deterrence. Ennead managing partner Guy Maxwell is a nationally recognized champion of bird-friendly design and has led Ennead’s innovative approach to make the building’s glazing safer for birds, employing patterned glass, screens and sunshades, and Ornilux glass, a specialty glass product that uses a UV coating visible to birds but not humans. By framing and showcasing views of the landscape, the building celebrates and connects students with the surrounding environment, while the overall development of the precinct repurposes an underutilized sector of campus.Exterior glass detailGlass detail, showing frit patternVassar’s Bridge for Laboratory Sciences, shown here under construction in October 2015.
