September 19, 2003—The Denver Art Museum has selected an Andover Controls integrated Continuum facility management system to provide alarm monitoring, access control, and environmental systems control at their Denver, Colorado museum complex. The Continuum system, installed by local Andover Representative, Westover Controls of Denver, will also provide Denver Art Museum more efficient security management and reduced energy costs.
Founded in 1893, the Denver Art Museum has more than 55,000 works of art. In the next three years, the Museum will nearly double in size.
Along with door access control, Continuum will control and monitor hundreds of alarms from security devices. In addition, the system will maintain round-the-clock stringent temperature and humidity requirements mandated by the many fine art collections on loan to the Museum.
Continuum will send alarms to the Museums security staff if temperature and humidity varies from established parameters. Logging, trending, and graphing are automated and stored in the Continuum system, which allows the Museum to verify to lending institutions that their art was displayed under a properly controlled environment.
