Core Webinar: Safety by Design

91´«Ã½

CHICAGO—Core hosts the webinar "Safety by Design" on August 28, 2024, at 1 p.m. CT. Your library should be an inviting and beautiful safe haven. In this webinar, you will learn how effective security solutions work seamlessly with your vision to create welcoming and inclusive spaces. An experienced security consultant will share the four fundamental principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED): 1) natural surveillance (criminals do not like to be seen); 2) natural access control (clearly define public and private spaces); 3) territorial reinforcement (an environment that fosters privacy and a sense of ownership); and 4) maintenance (upkeep to discourage vandalism and other crimes). Librarians from Buffalo, NY, and Columbus, OH, will place these principles in context through two case studies with real-world security scenarios. Architects with a combined 30 years of library planning experience will then show specific examples where programmatic and aesthetic goals aligned with safety and security concerns.
