Abstract
"The Environmental Services Campus project is a comprehensive development designed to support the City of Springfield’s Environmental Services operations, with a focus on functionality, sustainability, and safety. The campus includes administrative office space, staff parking, a maintenance vehicle garage, and educational facilities aimed at community outreach. A component of the project is establishing site-wide security that not only protects personnel and assets but also integrates seamlessly with the architectural and environmental goals of the facility.
The primary focus of the Security IDT is the development and implementation of a comprehensive security strategy for the entire site. This includes designing and finalizing fencing, gates, and securing boundaries to protect sensitive areas such as the maintenance vehicle garage and storage zones. Another part of this strategy is the design of the keycard access system for all controlled entry points—including staff-only doors, garage doors, and locker areas. This work is completed through coordination with the other engineer disciplines on this project to support seamless operation and future scalability.
Another critical component is the strategic placement of surveillance cameras across critical zones, including vehicle storage and maintenance areas, building entrances, educational and public interaction spaces, and the trailhead on the edge of the site – especially for after-hours monitoring.
These security elements are compiled into a preliminary Security Operations Manual to help guide city staff in daily operations and emergency response planning. Additionally, a cost estimate makes sure all security measures and garage construction stay within budget while maintaining safety and operational efficiency. This estimate was expanded to a budget break down and a project cash-flow for the project.
By embedding security design into every phase of the project, the IDT delivers a holistic solution—integrating physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards—while balancing access control with user convenience and long-term sustainability"-- Introduction, p. 9
