In the current climate, security features highly in the priorities for school facilities. Guaranteeing security and ensuring protection for students and staff, without changing the quality of education, is a daily challenge for educators. Thanks to our technical expertise in access control using organizational charts, we can offer you a customized security system, to regain peace and security within your buildings.
In schools, several types of people come together, each with different access authorizations. Parents are only invited to drop off their children and to attend some meetings, while students have access to classrooms, toilets, the canteen and playgrounds, and teachers have a staff room reserved for them, in some cases also with an individual office.
School buildings are required to comply with certain fire safety rules, in order to be able to accommodate pupils or students.
Schools should comply with the public-access buildings standards, in order to avoid risks in the event of fire and to facilitate evacuation of the building.
All areas accessible to students and to teaching staff, such as entrance lobbies, the canteen, emergency exits and stairs, along with electrical, gas, heating, ventilation and other systems, need to be protected and in perfect operating condition.
Given its vulnerable occupants, particularly younger-age children, the security system must be able to control access to the buildings, without obstructing the movements of pupils and their parents.
Thanks to customized management of these movements, each establishment is able to benefit from a smart access control system for students and staff, whilst allowing free movement in the event of an emergency.
School buildings (elementary schools, secondary schools and colleges) and university campuses are, like all public-access buildings, subject to requirements in relation to security and fire safety.
It is therefore essential to equip emergency exits with standardized and certified products, primarily EN 1125 or NFS 61-937-compliant, in order to guarantee rapid and efficient evacuation of students, staff and teaching teams, whilst avoiding panic.
