Security from A to Z
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the importance of integrating closure security in the design process.
- Against the multi-use building backdrop, pinpoint key vulnerable areas of access control and highlight secure building design requirements for each of these areas.
- Outline key closure solutions to protect against theft, severe weather, vandalism, and fires.
- Discuss the importance of architects understanding the pros and cons of each access control option that can be designed into a building to ensure they choose the closure solution for their particular application.
- Define when to use visible security as a design deterrent, and when architects should design security that is hidden into the architecture – either to conceal it from occupants (for mental health and wellbeing) or from threats (as an added security measure).

If there’s anything 2020 taught us, it’s that we need to be prepared for, quite literally, everything. Quarantining for months on end? Check. Murder hornets? Yep. UFO videos released from the Pentagon? Why not?
So why not talk zombie preparedness? When designing buildings, designers and specifiers need to make sure their selected closure solutions (a.k.a. doors) keep structures secure— secure enough even to withstand an apocalypse. If your building can withstand that, it should be able to handle bad actors, tornadoes, high winds, fire, and more.
This webinar will use a multi-use building example to delve into the unique ways architects and designers can incorporate different kinds of closure security into their designs without giving up their desired aesthetic. We will throw a lot at the facility managers – parking issues, unrest, natural disasters, fires and more – and show how different kinds of rolling, sectional, and other closure technologies can protect property and life.
