Defense of a structure is something that can be accomplished easily in many buildings with strong walls and small or no windows. Even if there are windows they can be augmented with lumber, shutters (at times already in place in a roll up cylinder, or other at hand materials. The larger the opening the more difficult and time consuming the augmentation would be. Think of more of what building look like in today's world in high crime areas or at a higher level facility(like a Methadone clinic, a woman's health clinic, or a post office). These are the types of structures that would allow you to last longer in a "Defend in Place" situation. Gathering supplies would just need to be accomplished. Going to and defending the supplies in place at a China Mart or similar place is normally more difficult. These places are made to bring customers in not keep them out and would take more time and effort to secure.
