Integrated Fire & Life Safety Monitoring for Campuses

 

Fire and life safety systems that protect numerous buildings and properties, such as campuses and hospitals, require integrated safety systems that meet a number of demanding requirements. College campuses, for example, consist of tens of thousands of acres with dozens of buildings for classroom facilities, residence halls, and common areas like libraries, gymnasiums, kitchens, cafeterias, laundry areas and more.

Protecting faculty and students at all times requires a modern, technologically advanced fire and life safety system that is fully integrated, continually monitored,  and customized to the property.

Challenges to Protecting Entire Campuses

College students are busy on campus with classes, extracurricular activities, adjusting to and enjoying newfound freedoms. All the while, campus fire and life safety systems are quietly protecting everyone behind the scenes. Every building and area on a college campus or medical facility is unique and requires customized, integrated fire alarm and life safety solutions.

Residence halls, for example, consist of multiple floors, dorm rooms, lounge and study areas, kitchens, and laundry rooms. They do not necessarily need to evacuate the entire building if a smoke alarm goes off. Administrators must be able to identify the source and location of every detection device and respond appropriately with quick evacuation where needed. When an alarm goes off in a large, closed building, however, like an auditorium or gymnasium, quick evaluation of the entire building might be what is needed.

Customized and integrated fire and life safety systems protect occupants with reliable monitoring, location of safety threats, notification, and evacuation designed to save lives. Building improvements and expansions call for continual fire and life safety system evaluation and consultation, for the most effective safety system design and implementation.
