Our Bulletproof School and Education Projects
Bulletproof Schools that put Education First
Schools should be a place of learning, first and foremost. However, as times change, so does the need for increased bullet resistance. What shouldn’t change is the focus on fostering an educational environment. Without the right approach, bulletproof school barriers make schools feel closed in and even dangerous. This is where TSS enters the picture
Since 2004, TSS has helped countless schools and educational facilities nationwide increase their bulletproof protection without sacrificing architectural integrity or an educational environment. Students, faculty, and staff have an additional layer of protection that blends right in with the existing architecture. Plus, we understand the ins and outs of working within schools’ budgets and timelines. When you need a bulletproofing partner that can navigate the complexities of working in an educational environment, we have the skill, resources, and abilities you’re looking for.
BULLETPROOF SCHOOL SECURITY IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL
Success Story: Adding Ballistic Security to Five Tennessee Schools
After the Nashville school shooting in 2023, a school system approached TSS about adding ballistic barriers to five of their school buildings. Together, we designed ballistic barrier systems that matched their threat level. These systems included bulletproof glass entryways, ballistic framing systems, and bulletproof safe rooms. TSS met their tight installation timeline, ensuring students’ security.

Despite their excellent security track record, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia wanted to increase protection from bullets at 15 of their high schools. After conducting safety assessments with the State Police, The Archdiocese team chose TSS to design and fabricate custom systems for each of their schools’ unique entryways. The end result is secure entryways that make it easy for staff to check in visitors 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.
