Northview High School Gets A $30 Million Upgrade [Video]

Students are much safer this year thanks to some new security upgrades to Northview High School. Check out the video, these upgrades are pretty wild.

WZZM 13 reports the renovations include lower lockers, fewer walls and more glass.

What's with the glass?

It gives faculty and staff more visibility of the school grounds.

Here's the biggie, the district added an inner vestibule, which all visitors must enter before entering into the main building. The updates also include 60 security cameras.

Matt Slagle, a senior design architect with TowerPinkster told WZZM 13:

"We don't design schools like a jail; it is designed for passive supervision. From where I am standing now, you can see 300 feet down to the cafeteria and you can see all the way down over 800 lockers as well."

A true sign of the times. Who would have thought we would be needing security equipment like this in our schools?
