A student residence at the University of Birmingham has been supplied with wireless locking. Chamberlain, based in Edgbaston, pictured, is a new student housing development; a 21-storey tower and three low-rise blocks. The rooms have been fitted with the Aperio product, by ASSA ABLOY Access Control, a UK division of ASSA ABLOY. The lock is integrated into the Gallagher Command Centre.
Gallagher’s integration with Aperio removes the need for mechanical keys. The integration is available and supported worldwide and is applicable for all industries, the product firms add.
Jason Boyce, Sales Manager at Gallagher, said: “We were pleased to be able to provide the University of Birmingham with a solution that integrates tightly with their existing campus-wide system. Unlike other systems, Aperio provides audit trails online, allowing for the real time monitoring of doors. This allows the university to ensure that all students arrive safely to their rooms during arrivals weekend.”
David Hodgkiss, National Sales Manager at ASSA ABLOY Access Control, said: “We were pleased that our extensive experience within the education sector has enabled us to provide the University of Birmingham with a seamlessly integrated solution with our Aperio technology. The university now has plans to roll Aperio out to other residences.”
And Neil Titterington, Sales Manager at 2020 Vision Systems, said: “We wanted to ensure we delivered a faultless installation service to the University of Birmingham, who we have been working with for over 15 years. Together with ASSA ABLOY Access Control and Gallagher we were able to install the Aperio solution on time at Chamberlain, with minimum disruption to the students and staff.”
