Aging school infrastructure creates more than maintenance challenges. It can also increase risk for students, faculty, staff and the communities these buildings serve.

As this article notes, many schools require critical upgrades to core building systems. While HVAC, roofing, electrical and plumbing updates remain essential, physical security is a critical component of long-term modernization and risk mitigation planning.

For K-12 schools, colleges and universities, retrofit security glazing systems offer a practical way to strengthen existing doors, windows and vulnerable glass openings without requiring full window replacement.

When incorporated into a layered security plan, these systems can help delay forced entry during active shooter events, support emergency response and provide additional time to protect occupants.

Caring for aging schools requires a comprehensive approach: maintaining building systems, planning for today’s security risks and improving the safety and security of the learning environment.

Read the full article to learn more about the risks facing aging school facilities and the importance of proactive modernization planning. https://ow.ly/lrPS50Z5MfL?

As school building infrastructure gets older, it can lead to increased loss potential and risk—not to mention, higher insurance premiums. Here’s what you need to know.
