In November 1999, GSA and the U.S. Department of State convened a symposium to discuss the apparently conflicting objectives of security from terrorist attack and the design of public buildings in an open society. The symposium sponsors rejected the notion of rigid, prescriptive design approaches. The symposium concluded with a challenge to the design and security professions to craft aesthetically appealing architectural solutions that achieve balanced, performance-based approaches to both openness and security. In response to a request from the Office of the Chief Architect of the Public Buildings Service, the National Research Council (NRC) assembled a panel of independent experts, the Committee to Review the Security Design Criteria of the Interagency Security Committee. This committee was tasked to evaluate the ISC Security Design Criteria to determine whether particular provisions might be too prescriptive to allow a design professional "reasonable flexibility" in achieving desired security and physical protection objectives.

This Note examines a full range of security issues involving privately-owned but publicly accessible office buildings in the post-9/11 era, from a landlord's basic security duties to privacy infringement. The analysis focuses on the recent proliferation of computer-enabled access control and surveillance technologies, which have emerged in the last ten years as a viable alternative to increased security personnel staffing. The Note makes several conclusions and recommendations. First, to overcome the possibility of negligent security lawsuits, property owners must reevaluate the security provided in their buildings on an ongoing basis. Second, access control and surveillance technologies offer cost-effective means of satisfying security minima for a majority of commercial properties. Third, to balance the benefits of these technologies with the potential for privacy infringement, property owners should consider contractual and/or unilateral notice of security monitoring and recording practices. Finally, the burgeoning partnership between private security and law enforcement creates the possibility of Fourth Amendment privacy infringements.
