Ive seen buildings in nature areas with lots of glass. If birds die at windows, why would they put them in nature centers?
Unfortunately the facts about birds being killed by window strikes have not been well-known within the conservation community (no doubt thanks to the scavengers who remove evidence). That is changing, and in the meantime, nature centers are taking preventive actions. The next nature center to be built in Chicago, the Ford Calumet Environmental Center, is designed based on the best bird-friendly techniques. (www.studiogang.net/projects.
