| Maximizing student safety with rolling doors and grilles |
|
For architects and designers specializing in institutional design, keeping children safe is an increasingly difficult task which can weigh heavy on one’s heart and mind. By balancing design and safety, along with incorporating better access controls, such as advanced rolling closures, architects can help prevent and defend against shooting situations.

| Identifying and fixing concrete flooring challenges |
|
Concrete floors are popular choices in certain spaces in a variety of finishes as they are long-lasting and extremely durable if the contractor has installed, cured, and finished them properly.

DISCUSSIONS OF THE WEEK |
|
| Specifying mass timber component protection during construction |
|
Recently attended a webinar presented by a company that provides membranes for protection of mass timber components from weather related water exposure during construction. Specifications for these other products usually state only a performance requirement that the constructor will provide such protection, along with very limited or mostly no description of the specific products or methods. Asking how other specifiers have addressed this issue, as the vast majority of constructions have no experience with mass timber construction, and the necessary appropriate weather protection of the product during construction.
