Cardinal O'Hara High School
Description: Concerned about the rising number of school shootings around the country, Administrators at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools decided to take a more proactive approach to safety across all of their high school campuses. Starting with Cardinal O’Hara High School, they worked with TSS to secure their main entrance with a custom bulletproof vestibule.
TSS fabricated and installed a Level 3 system with storefront-style interior doors, multiple interior windows, a transaction area with a recessed currency tray, and custom-painted ballistic framing to match the surrounding aesthetic. The final solution creates a secure entryway, makes it easy for staff to check in visitors securely, and blends seamlessly with the surrounding look of the building. Every detail was accounted for, including the placement of fire alarm boxes and security cameras.
