Summary
Safety and security are top concerns in public buildings and spaces, but especially in K-12 educational facilities. To combat concerns around security, Compartmentalization or zoning is one strategy growing in popularity for schools. This approach allows for the shutdown of hallways and sections of the school, restricting an intruder’s movement through the building. Compartmentalization can enhance safety without escalating budgets or creating an unpleasant environment that can negatively impact the psychological well-being of students and faculty. However, it’s important that code-compliant safe exit options remain available for evacuation purposes.
In this 30-minute webchat, a representative from Clopay Corporation (manufacturer of Clopay®, Cornell, and Cookson brand doors and grilles) will discuss the benefits of CrossingGard® with ThreatProtect™ for compartmentalizing buildings. The newest architectural safety innovation from Cookson, CrossingGard with ThreatProtect features:

- choice of rolling door to obstruct intruder views or rolling grille to provide visibility to emergency personnel
