With severe weather season upon us, schools may be considering making their facilities more resistant to local severe storms. BGR has worked with several local school districts within the past couple of years to incorporate actual tornado shelters into facility designs. For instance, BGR Architects designed a tornado shelter within a classroom wing of the recently completed North Elementary School for Dumas ISD, thus making their students safer during the spring/summer severe weather season.
