Detention Design & Construction with Truss-reinforced Steel Panels

Detention Design & Construction with Truss-reinforced Steel Panels

to take this course

In this one-hour course, participants will learn about the evolution of detention construction as well as different materials and approaches to constructing cells and other secure areas. The course will focus on advanced detention construction solutions using truss-reinforced steel panels with hollow metal doors, frames and windows. Participants will also learn about trends and requirements in contemporary detention design that help create a safe and secure prison.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Recall the evolution of detention construction, focusing on more humane and protective approaches for the safety of occupants and staff
  2. Compare and contrast different detention construction materials, such as CMUs, pour-in-place concrete walls, modular construction, and truss-reinforced steel panels
  3. Identify advanced detention construction solutions using truss-reinforced steel panels with hollow metal doors, frames and windows that are durable and sustainable
  4. Discuss trends and requirements in contemporary detention design that emphasize security and safety
