This is a quarterly newsletter for architects, designers and
planners who build and renovate our schools. We research school
building trends, fire codes and innovations in the use of fire-rated
glass in schools, and publish what we find at
Safe Glass for Schools. In
this issue, we report on how built-in fire protection contains school
fires to the room of origin in 87% of educational properties, how fire
rated glass can be used in exits to increase transparency and security,
and how the University of Michigan used fire rated glazing to preserve
historic stained glass windows while meeting fire safety code
requirements.
Thank you for your interest,
