Back to School | Doors and Hardware Safety
As we wrap up September with kids back in school, KENDELL would like to touch on the impact that the correct opening solutions can make in keeping students and staff safe. There has been much debate about the proper way to help prevent active shooters and alike from entering a space. One of the most common mistakes is using a barricade or creating a makeshift structure in front of a door, which allows for the possibility of more harm than benefit.

One lab is two-stories high to accommodate research on flying robots. Another lab is expected to include a large water tank where researchers can test aquatic robots.
