Bottom must have ventilation holes.\n\n\nInside Material:\nVertical surface must be textured for swifts to cling to (this species does not perch)\n\n\nAccess Points:\nAccess is required for maintenance in the bottom part of the tower for cleaning / monitoring and for housing camera technology.\n\n\nAppearance:\nScience-related design desired but not required for McWane Science Center\n\n\nInstallation Site\nSW corner of the top level of the McWane Science Center parking deck\, Level F and is bordered on the W and S side by a 4 foot existing concrete barrier that the tower will be attached to. The N and E sides of the site should be protected by a concrete curb or wooden platform that could incorporate interpretative signage nearby.\n\n\nAttachment\nThe tower can be attached to treated wood boards at the upper and lower portions of the two barrier wall of the deck. The tower should be designed to withstand high winds.\n\n\n\nWatch this instructional video for further design considerations
