The client

The West Kowloon Cultural District is a 40-hectare piece of land envisioned to enrich the local arts scene and provide a platform for interaction, exchange and collaboration. Located in this piece of land is the M+ Museum of Visual Culture in Hong Kong, which EVVA had previously supplied with its cylinders. And on the same campus as the M+, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has set up its new Head Office in the aptly named WKCDA Tower. The WKCDA Tower is a 16-storey structure and home to several retail, dining and entertainment facilities. Flanking the M+ Museum, the WKCDA Tower fits right in with the District’s other vibrant, cultural facilities.

The challenge

Much like the diverse environment in which the WKCDA Tower is located, the Head Office of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, had a range of diverse requirements for its access control and mechanical locking system. The doors in the Head Office required a blend of thumb turn cylinders and half cylinders in both Euro profile and Swiss profile. An additional demand was that the Head Office required an advanced mechanical locking system with reversible key, modular system and increased security against illegal openings, key-copying protection, and grand master keying possibilities.

The solution

EVVA was able to meet the demands placed by the Head Office of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority with its advanced ICS system. In total, 140 ICS cylinders were supplied by Jardine Engineering Corporation – one of EVVA’s local long-standing Hong Kong partners. EVVA’s ICS keys and cylinders provide a clever system for optimum security, allowing for complex master key systems with large number of different user groups by utilizing its distinctive 5 track system with durable length profile.
With its successful construction, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority can rely on the advanced and highly secure ICS mechanical locking system to protect its Head Office in the WKCDA Tower for many years to come.
