One of the most complex estates to manage are universities and colleges. This is down to the fact that many have large, widespread campuses with different types of buildings including student accommodation, libraries, lecture halls and laboratories. Ensuring campus-wide student fire safety can be a mammoth task for facilities managers as manual systems and site-specific monitoring can create safety gaps, exposing institutions to unnecessary risk.
False alarms are a nuisance to academic life. Constant evacuations can disrupt lectures, exams, and clinical research and if frequent, false alarms risk damaging institutional reputation. Moreover, students and staff can become desensitised, slowing response times in the event of a genuine threat.
Higher education estates must comply with a range of fire safety regulations and British Standards, often under the watchful eye of auditors, insurers, and local fire authorities. Manual logbooks and siloed systems make proving compliance unnecessarily time-consuming.
