"Security by Design: Insights and Best Practices," a 90-minute virtual seminar addressing security design from the architect's viewpoint, was offered Monday, November 5, from 1–2:30 p.m., EST., at 300 sites nationwide. The program was made possible through the generous support of Autodesk.

The architect's viewpoint
The program featured a number of security design experts, including:
• Carol Ross Barney, FAIA, principal, Ross, Barney & Jankowski Inc., Chicago
• Robert Barr, AIA, senior principal, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Washington, D.C.
• Robert Craig, CPP, manager, security division, Rolf Jensen & Associates, Fairfax, Va.
• Denis Goeser, AIA, project manager, Leo A. Daly, Omaha
• Michael Patrick, AIA, director, architectural design, Leo A. Daly, Atlanta.

Participants received information on how to:
• Recognize the nature of security threats to the built environment and the relative risks associated with those threats
• Assess the owner/client perspectives and concerns regarding security threats to their buildings
• Develop strategies and methods to plan, design, and construct buildings to mitigate or minimize security threats
• Integrate knowledge and information concerning security threats into the design of buildings now on the boards
• Advise clients about security threats and the integration of security concerns throughout the building life cycle.

If you were unable to attend, the program will be available at no cost at the Building Security Through Design Resource Center immediately following the presentation.
