The Challenge Facing Historic Government Facilities
Design with Security in Mind
Many capitol buildings were designed for openness and civic accessibility, not modern security threats.
As a result, government facilities often face structural vulnerabilities such as:
Historic wood or hollow-core exterior doors
Glass sidelites and transom windows without ballistic protection
Lobby glazing systems not designed to resist ballistic threats
Interior doors unable to withstand forced entry
Limited secure refuge areas for staff during emergencies
At the same time, security upgrades must be implemented without compromising historic architecture or disrupting daily government operations.
Discreet Structural Hardening for Government Facilities
Obsidian Armory designs hardened entry and glazing systems that integrate directly into historic government architecture.
Our approach focuses on reinforcing structural openings while maintaining the original design of the building.
Security modernization programs can include:
Forced-entry resistant exterior doors
Hardened sidelites and transom glazing
Protected operational areas and safe rooms
These systems provide significant improvements in physical security while maintaining the appearance and architectural continuity of the facility.
Domestic Manufacturing for Government Infrastructure
All Obsidian Armory security systems are manufactured in the United States through certified production facilities.
This ensures government clients benefit from:
Reliable domestic manufacturing capacity
Reduced exposure to overseas supply chain risks
Compliance with U.S. testing standards and certifications
Domestic production is critical for government infrastructure projects requiring predictable delivery timelines and regulatory compliance.
