Glass walls by Jackson Park? (NO SIGHTING)

[Suzanne Coleman]

Just saw this in my news stream and it looks like they're putting in a bunch of glass walls outside the science and industry museum which is right by Jackson Park and in a great flyway for immigration. I wonder if anyone has looked into this who knows more about it?

I’ll send this to Chicago Collision Coalition. Hopefully something can be done. Science & Industry Museum should know better than installing a glass walkthrough. At the very least, it should be bird safe glass.

Not approving the glass walls at all. Here is a link to Decorative Films to help prevent bird window collisions. Certainly Chicago officials are aware of this company after the McCormick Place massive bird kill.

I heard back. They are using bird safe glazing.
