Washington Monument [SEP] Security
On March 6, 2014, the National Capital Planning Commission approved a new visitor screening facility to replace the temporary one. The facility will be two stories high and contain space for screening 20 to 25 visitors at a time. The exterior walls (which will be slightly frosted to prevent viewing of the security screening process) will consist of an outer sheet of bulletproof glass or polycarbonate, a metal mesh insert, and another sheet of bulletproof glass. The inner sheet will consist of two sheets (slightly separated) of laminated glass. A airspace will exist between the inner and outer glass walls to help insulate the facility.
