new doors
When upperclassmen returned to
school in AuguRt, they saw that
Glenbard was different: dozens of
new and re-conditioned doors had
been installed in hallways and rooms
throughout the building
Durinll'. the sum mer. six ty-four
smoke doors had been installed in
G lenbard 's Jong. sweepinf{ hallways
at acos t of $ 103.400.
In case of fire, the doors we re built
toshut a utomatically whentheal arm
was sounded and conta in smoke and
fire fo r one hou r and forty-five
While the smoke doors made the
school much safer in case of fi re.
they also created new problems for
students who tried lo jam lhrough
thenarrowdoorsbetweenclasses.
Getting around groups of gabbing
Glenbard ians who blocked the doorways, students bumped and bruised
their elbowson thedoorframes.
Doors were also the center of a
complaint investigated by the task
forceof"Bard line"
To discourage vanda lism and
smoking, custodians had removed
the outer doors to several wash ·
rooms. and while thE: plan ap parent ·
ly worked,somestudentscomplained
aboutthelossofprivacy
ln anotherproject,the\ockson
mostexteriordoors were changed
lnaddition.thehandlesofeight
doors we re removed , and the key
holes plated. so that these doors
became exits only.
This comprehensive program was
undettakentoincreasethesecurity
of thebuildinj:',especially in the
evenings and on weekends
Unlocked doors, unclosed windows
and the proliferation of duplicate
keys hadresultedin vandalism
Along with the new smoke doors,
there were other doors that could
notbeseenbut still beckonedto

These were the doorwa ys to opportunity t hat we re opened to Glenbardiansby teachers, specialevents,
