A lot of what they are doing is pretty cheap in new construction.
Little things like those barriers in the hall are just a little extra
block for the mason but it makes that hall a lot more daunting for a
shooter. If every 20 or 30 feet there is a barrier on both sides of
the hall that might be hiding a cop with a gun or a ****ed off gym
teacher with a baseball bat it gives them a lot more to worry about
and takes a lot of their advantage away.

While that sounds good, would it not also provide some protection for
the bad guy too? Are they made of block that you can only see through
if you are a good guy?

If the shooter is in a hole in a defensive position, it makes
evacuation a lot easier. Once they clear the building smoking him out
is just a matter of tear gas and a well armed assault force. Video
surveillance makes that assault a whole lot easier too.
