Course Description
With all of the unfortunate personal experiences and the reporting of dire news that yields an extensive list of people to fear, building security has been a hot topic for architects. Building security doesn’t involve only electronic gear, software and guards. Nor is security only for specific businesses and building types. In this day and age, buildings that are used for all purposes should likely address security concerns during design. Threats to any building and the occupants within these buildings may come from a single individual, acting from opportunity and using simple tools to enter and sometimes harm victims. And then there are extreme security threats of organized mobs, trained terrorists and armed militia with advanced weaponry. The last group will be a bit hard to resist, without excessive expense or an equally armed group to repel them. But for most potential threats, there are things we can do to identify that danger before it reaches us, delay entry until help can arrive or completely deny threats entry into our facilities and our lives.
