November 7, 2008—A new access control system incorporating products from Salto Systems is securing the Burgh Hall dormitory at Chicago’s North Park University.
Almost all buildings have some form of secure entry system that controls access, from simple keys, to swipe cards, to proximity cards, to PINs. For some, particularly those with a high volume of staff, the access control system is central to the security of the building. In many cases it can also be programmed to give different users entry to different areas at different times. The good news is that safety, security, and access control can all be achieved at once.
In the case of colleges and universities, security is at the top of the agenda. Many schools are now updating their systems and equipping themselves with the latest technology to provide the most secure learning and residential environments on their campuses. For maximum security in Burgh Hall, a new electronic-locking system has also been installed throughout the building, with student dorm rooms receiving state-of-the-art card-operated proximity locks.
