PROBLEM
The National Gallery is a visual arts museum of international stature. It houses Canada’s collection of historic and contemporary art within a creative building consisting of many windows and skylights to cast natural daylight upon the nation’s treasures.

With the United States Embassy less than 300 meters away, the Gallery is placed in a high security risk area. Propelled by the forces of a terrorist bomb, flying glass fragments were just one of the wicked elements that attributed to 220 deaths and approximately 4,000 injuries when terrorist bombs exploded at U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania two years ago.

Both RCMP and Ottawa-Carleton Regional Police recommended the implementation of a “comprehensive window protection system” for exposed areas of glass. In addition to the technical security demands there were also concerns about maintaining the aesthetic impact of the Gallery.

PROBLEM
No business wants to suffer a break-in and interrupt their day-to-day operations but for a pharmacy, the implications of a “smash and grab” can have far reaching consequences to the public…since prescription drugs usually end up on the streets.  This was the dilemma for the Health Centre Pharmacy of the Oshawa Clinics. This past summer, their front window was smashed and thieves made off with prescription drugs.

“We knew we had to move quickly to protect the contents of the building so this wouldn’t happen again,” explains Keith White, Facility Manager, Oshawa Clinics.  An alarm system with security cameras was installed but once again, thieves were able to smash through the front window.  Glass shards were sprayed into the product and everywhere, disrupting their business.  It became clear that even with the alarm, the intruders could still grab prescription drugs.  Therefore, another solution was needed.
