The project to add new security measures in Anderson and Gladfelter halls will force a redistribution of campus security personnel when delayed egress doors are implemented in the entrances to both buildings, according to Campus Safety Services.

Acting Director of CSS Charlie Leone said any officers who are not assigned to any of the two buildings will be reassigned to other parts of the campus. Once the doors are updated, it will be monitored electronically with the alarm system.

“It will include redeployment of the security personnel,” he said, “particularly using extra help during class changes with heavy pedestrian volume, as well as roving patrols.”

The idea to carry out the project came when a teacher from Anderson Hall was attacked last year in his office.

In late October, an 81-year-old professor was robbed and assaulted at knifepoint. Darryl Moon, 45, was later arrested by the Philadelphia Police about 12 hours after police officials identified the suspect via video surveillance.
