In these times of economic stress, many jurisdictions are struggling to respond to the increasing mandates for public safety training. They look to hire rookies trained in certificated programs offered by community colleges. Training programs for emergency responders need to offer active training that goes far beyond the typical classroom. Join HMC’s Donna Barry and Cheryl Lentini at the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) 2012 Pacific Regional Conference as they explore a case study of the Public Safety Sciences Building at Glendale Community College to learn how all parts of a facility—from the roof to the space under the stairs—can become part of a creative training program.
