 Planning a secure facility today comes with a lot of questions. Do you upgrade what you have or relocate to a new facility? How do you plan effectively when requirements are evolving and mission needs continue to change?
This panel brings together experts who have worked through these challenges firsthand. They’ll share perspectives on renovation versus relocation, along with the role modular SCIF solutions are beginning to play. The discussion will also explore how organizations are approaching shared facilities and designing spaces that remain adaptable over time.
Panelists will also talk about the importance of early planning and coordination with security stakeholders, and share lessons learned that can help teams avoid costly surprises later in the project.
