Access control for schools, colleges, & universities

Educational premises face unique challenges in terms of security and access on-site.

• Footfall. Even small schools can have hundreds of people arriving, leaving, and moving around throughout the day. And there’s a significant logistical challenge in balancing efficiency with security.
• Multiple user types. Whether it’s a primary school or a university, all educational facilities have complex hierarchies of users. From pupils to teachers, admin staff to cleaners, everyone’s needs must be accommodated.
• Safeguarding. Schools are duty-bound to provide a safe and secure environment for students. Ensuring that only authorised people are on-site is an extremely important priority.

ATRIUM access control supports up to 500 doors and 10,000 users – a scalable solution for most schools and colleges. And every school is different. That’s why ATRIUM allows you to craft customised schedules and permissions that work for you, your staff, and your pupils. Whether you need something to ensure staff-only rooms are restricted for students, or a way of allowing after-school clubs to access specific areas, ATRIUM delivers the solution.
