Safety & Security Redesigned: Bulletproof Millwork

Safety & Security Redesigned: Bulletproof Millwork

to take this course

Our changing world means that professionals must consider safety and security when designing schools, homes, places of worship, offices, and businesses. Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss ballistic and bullet resistant technology that protects occupants from weapons, impact, and explosives. Design professionals will not only learn how to evaluate bullet resistant materials for use in woodwork, doors, walls, windows, and furniture but also how to integrate the three thresholds of defense into any building design to keep occupants safe and secure.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Recognize bulletproof millwork such as woodwork, doors, walls, windows, and furniture that protect against weapons, impact, and explosives
  2. Identify standards and testing for bulletproof technologies and evaluate different products based on the protection required for occupants
  3. Recall both traditional and non-traditional applications of bulletproof millwork and safety and security trends in building design
  4. Apply knowledge of case studies to develop building designs that incorporate the three thresholds of defense to protect occupants in the event of an emergency
