All Access Points, Secured

Every entrance you draw is a decision about who gets through it. This AIA-accredited course gives architects and interior designers a working method for specifying entrance security that satisfies access control codes, matches the building's actual threat level, and still looks like it belongs in the lobby.

Five questions every entrance design has to answer

1. How many lanes?
2. Who uses the entrance?
3. Monitoring, deterrence, or prevention?
4. What has to integrate?
5. How should it look?

By the end of this course, you will be able to

• Identify key security considerations for different building types and environments
• Understand how entrance control systems, door monitoring devices, and access control products work together
• Evaluate appropriate security solutions based on building codes, standards, and specific use cases
• Apply best practices from real-world case studies to your architectural projects
