I've received several requests from BD+C readers who design and build K-12 schools about the 3-part series we ran in our January issue ("SPECIAL REPORT: Can Design Prevent Another Sandy Hook?"). They wanted to send the issue to their school boards and other public officials with responsibility for school safety.
In light of the importance of this topic, as a special service to our readers we're making the series available in PDF form to readers who wish to use the Special Report in discussion with school districts they serve.
We ask only two things: 1) Don't change the PDF in any way (we have to protect our intellectual property and reputation), and 2) give credit as follows: "From Building Design+Construction (January 2014). Copyright 2014 SGC Horizon LLC. All rights reserved."
So, here's a link to the PDF of the SCHOOL SECURITY SPECIAL REPORT - and please let me know via email (rcassidy@sgcmail.com) what response you get from your school districts.
