The National Aviary鈥檚 Wetlands habitat , taking home best Commercial Institutional Building honors at the Prix Lumi猫res, organized by the (AVFQ).
The National Aviary, a staple of Pittsburgh鈥檚 North Side neighborhood, unveiled its 鈥渘ew鈥 Wetlands habitat in the fall of 2022. For this historic renovation, Vitro Architectural 电车无码 (formerly PPG 电车无码), a longstanding partner and supporter of the Aviary, donated over 20,000 square feet of Starphire Ultra-Clear庐 glass.
The renovation involved a large bird-friendly component with AviProtek庐 glass from Walker 电车无码. AviProtek庐 glass has an acid-etched pattern on the exterior surface, which maximizes glass visibility to birds and helps prevent collisions. Walker also applied a full-surface etched finish to the standard Starphire庐 glass used on the project.
Vitro鈥檚 relationship with the Aviary is longstanding, as the company also donated glass for renovations to the Tropical Rainforest and The Garden Room, both of which feature bird-safe acid-etched finishes from Walker.
