It's just surrounded by public area on all 4 sides. Most show buildings tend to have only service road behind them, so they build a large facade in the front to make it look good. So when a guest can see every corner it gets difficult concealing the entire thing without seeing a large glacier next to a bunch of sea lions. The construction pics just don't show it because no one is really interested in a blank building, it's the new themed stuff like the rock work people want to see. It's the same argument as Transformers or the side of the FJ show building from JP really.
P.S. not disagreeing with people, it does look odd, just stating why it becomes a problem, at least in my opinion.
