Education.

Keeping students, staff and campus buildings safe from fire and unauthorized access.

Schools, universities and campus environments bring together large numbers of people, ageing buildings and constant renovation — all needing fire detection and security systems that work around real class schedules, not against them.

A school or university estate grows and changes constantly, with new buildings, refurbished labs, temporary classrooms and multi-story halls of residence — so fire and security systems need to scale with the campus rather than being redesigned from scratch every time a new building goes up.

Fire detection across a school or university campus typically combines addressable panels covering classrooms, halls of residence and shared facilities with aspirating detection in lift shafts and plant rooms serving taller campus buildings. Because campuses grow site by site, the detection network is usually designed to expand building by building without needing to replace the existing panel each time a new block opens. Labs, IT and server rooms, archives and libraries may also call for aspirating smoke detection.

Key Challenges

Protecting students and staff across every building on campus

Keeping fire systems working through terms of renovation and expansion

Controlling access across dozens of entrances and shared facilities

Multi-building estates that grow site by site

Other spaces we also protect

Every site has its own risks. These are the kinds of spaces we help keep safe.

Schools & Nurseries

Occupied school buildings are difficult to disrupt in term time. Wireless detection can be installed quickly, with little work to the building.

Universities

Campuses mix lecture halls, labs, libraries and residences across many buildings, and often across many decades of construction.
