CASE HISTORIES { REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS } DEasy Access Control Solution
UE TO REGULARLY LOST installation was an immediate benefit in keys and vandalism of property, both cost of equipment and labor. Roseville Joint Unified School RJUSD has benefitted immensely from
District’s (RJUSD) Brian Gruchow (direc-
tor of operations) needed to implement a district-wide access control solution. With an ever-growing number of keys getting lost or stolen each year, it was financially prohibitive to rekey the entire district. A complete rekey had not occurred in over 30 years, causing a lack of security throughout the district.
After a year of in-depth research about various security products, the RJUSD discovered the solution that best fit their needs. Inexpensive, ease of installation and minimal maintenance requirements made CyberLock’s access control system the best fit. CyberLock required no hardwiring and the cylinders were easily retrofitted in the district’s existing hardware. The ease of
the CyberLock system. The CyberLock system allows keyholders to carry one key to access various locks, which has significantly decreased the overall number of keys they use. Additionally, they will never need to rekey the entire district again. CyberLock allows the district to schedule access permis- sions to specific locks and prohibit access to other locks through the CyberAudit software.
The software also allows lost or stolen keys to be labeled as such, therefore pro- hibiting their access permissions. District management also has the ability to pull an audit trail that shows which key attempted to access specific locks and the time the attempt occurred. RJUSD also found that the CyberLock system did not impede daily
Better security and the need for fewer keys were two of the many benefits RJUSD experienced when implement- ing their Cyberlock System.

Gruchow states, “Better security for our kids is the number one priority”. With over
10,000 students across several campuses, district security has increased significantly due to CyberLock.

Finding a roof that could not only last for a long time but look good and match the existing metal was a challenge for West Liberty High School. Duro-Fleece 60-mil membrane provided both and proved the right choice for the job.
“Because this was a publicly bid project that called for PVC, we are often required to go with the lowest bid,” she says. “We’re very pleased that Duro-Last was selected, as it was oneofourtopchoices. SPM

Finding the Right Roof
WEST LIBERTY HIGH School was designed to put all of the district’s K-12 students under one roof. And it’s a big roof. Built in 1988, the school in the central-Ohio village of West Liberty began a $30-million renovation project in 2015. The goal was to upgrade into a state-of-the-art high school. According to Superintendent Kraig Hissong, the project encompasses just about every facet of the building, from 22,000 square feet of new space and technology upgrades to updated windows, HVAC and a new roof.
“Finding a roof that could not only last for a long time but look good and match the existing metal was both a priority and chal- lenge for us,” Project Architect Melissa Spires says. The roofing contractor selected — Ohio-Indiana Roofing of Springfield,
Ohio — specified Duro-Last’s DuroFleece 60-mil membrane in a custom color —
taupe. The Duro-Fleece 60-mil membrane was adhered, with a water-based adhesive, to glass-faced Hunter Panels polyisocyan- urate insulation mechanically attached to the deck. The existing roof was a ballasted EPDM single-ply roofing system. Due to the large area of the roof, the installation was scheduled to take place over two summers.
However, Ohio-Indiana completed the entire project during the summer of 2015 before classes started. Superintendent His- song had spoken to other school adminis- trators who have used Duro-Last products on their roofs and had confidence in the system. “We’re very happy with the way the roof went on,” he says. “The color match is excellent, and the installation is very nice. The roof looks great and matches the metal soffit as intended. Getting the project done early was an added bonus.”
Spires was also confident in the choice.
