Bank Vault/Strong Room.

A bank vault (or strong room) is a secure space where money, valuables,
records, and documents can be stored. It is intended to protect their
contents from theft, unauthorized use, fire, natural disasters, and other
threats, just like a safe. But unlike safes, vaults are an integral part of the
building within which they are built, using armored walls and a tightly
fashioned door closed with a complex lock.
Historically, strong rooms were built in the basement of a bank where the ceilings were vaulted,
hence the name. Modern bank vaults typically contain many safe deposit boxes, as well as
places for teller cash drawers, and other valuable assets of the bank or its customers. They are
also common in other buildings where valuables are kept such as post offices, grand hotels, rare
book libraries and certain government ministries.
Vault technology developed in a type of arms race with bank robbers. As burglars came up with
new ways to break into vaults, vault makers found innovative ways to foil them. Modern vaults
may be armed with a wide array of alarms and anti-theft devices. Some nineteenth and early
twentieth century vaults were built so well that today they are almost impossible to destroy. These
older vaults were typically made with steel-reinforced concrete. The walls were usually at least
1 ft (0.3 m) thick, and the door itself was typically 3.5 ft (1.1 m) thick. Total weight ran into the
hundreds of tons. Today vaults are made with thinner, lighter materials that, while still secure, are
easier to dismantle than their earlier counterparts.
