Images of the building will be added here as time allows. The labels refer to the corresponding column on the monitoring spreadsheets that have been posted.
Side A: Faces west, consists of a two-story mirrored glass wall and an isolated large plate glass window consisting of two vertically stacked panes (also mirrored). Low trees / tall shrubs make it a point of interest for birds, and benches make it a point of interest for people. This could be a factor in the double digit strikes in a relatively small area, if birds flee the human activity and head towards the glass.
Side B: Facing WSW, the mirrored windows are approximately two stories tall and reflect a parking lot nearby with trees in the distance. These three faces combined have a very low body count (one for each of the glass walls and two for the middle).
Side C (control): Pictures pending
Side D (two of six): These skyward-angled, east-facing windows are not mirrored but have a light blue tint. They face a large swath of forest and during much of the day have very strong reflections of surrounding trees and sky. Each of the six sections has a double digit body count.
Side E (sample, not representative): Facing east, these lightly blue tinted windows are either tall and narrow, or wide and inset below the upper floor.
Side F: Similar to side E, but facing north.
