Educational facilities

Primary and other types of schools | Universities | Campus

Schools are busy places where teachers, students, parents, cleaning staff, etc. come together. However, schools are also used for many other purposes: music lessons are held in the afternoons and in the evenings local clubs use the sports facilities. Organising security raises many questions. EVVA has the answers.

Country: Switzerland

St. Gallen University of Applied Sciences is a regionally anchored higher education institution with a national and international appeal. Over 1,700 students currently study at one of the four departments: health care, social work, building as well as technology and economics. Each year the institution records over 1,600 participants in its courses, professional training and seminars each year. Seven higher education departments are researching future-oriented topics and offer practically oriented services.

Flexibility, high levels of permutation and a good feel were the central factors as part of the locking system tender. The decision was made in favour of ICS (Inner Code System) made by EVVA. In addition to the high number of user groups, ICS offers different locking technologies for high levels of protection: the time-tested curve system, the durable length profile and distinctive track system with internal recesses. Thanks to the finish, ICS locking elements guarantee the highest wear resistance in daily use. ICS cylinders are produced in modular design (SY-MO) to provide more than just flexibility. They can consequently be adapted to the relevant door requirements directly on site. ICS cylinders can also be customized with specific functions on-site (e.g. external key override). This saves time and money!

“St. Martin” Catholic child daycare centre in the Erfurt diocese gGmbH

Product: AirKey
Size: 1-100 units
Facility type: Educational facilities
Country: Germany

Child daycare centres, such as the St. Martin Catholic facility in Thuringia require a secure and user-friendly access system for their doors. Thanks to AirKey EVVA provides a reliable, electronic solution: flexible, simple and secure.

Management of 26 child daycare centres
The supporting organisation for Catholic child daycare centres within the Erfurt diocese was established in 2010 and on 1 January 2011 it took on the responsibility for a current total of 26 child daycare centres. The managing director, Mr Aurel Bergmann, was seeking a very secure and easy-to-control
access system for individual offices, shared conference facilities and an adjacent childcare centre at the Kefferhausen headquarters. In addition to internal management solutions, the system administration also had to be available across sites – for potential extensions –
and as part of an integrated, flexible system. "We require transparency in terms of who gains access to where and at which time", Bergmann adds.

AirKey convinced us
AirKey is easy to use", explains Mr Bornemann, responsible for the installation and managing director of the locksmith business "Schuh- u. Schlüsseldienst Bornemann" from Leinefelde. "Although not much convincing was necessary here. The user-friendly interface and easy adaptation of access authorisations speak for themselves.” The church community, employees and parents now use AirKey – a smart, electronic access control system made by EVVA. "Thanks to AirKey we can now control schedules and define which user groups are granted access to certain facilities. This is paramount for the conference facilities that are also used by our external clients", Bergmann explains. The straight-forward extension options of the system were also important. There are currently also discussions about installing AirKey´in additional child daycare centres.

Simple and secure – no need for additional infrastructure
Developed and manufactured in Austria, the electronic AirKey system offers a flexible solution to the supporting organisation of St. Martin child daycare centres. At present, access to the facilities and the adjacent child daycare centre is protected by a total of 12 AirKey cylinders and one AirKey double cylinder. On the basis of legal stipulations, two of these cylinders have been equipped with an anti-panic function. The initial equipment for the six user groups includes 50 AirKey key tags, 100 KeyCredits and a coding station for programming. "Designated administrators can now send keys online. And they need nothing but a smartphone or the coding station, Internet access and an AirKey cylinder", Bornemann adds. It is just as quick and simple to once again revoke access authorisations in the online administration.

The Royal Library in Copenhagen is the largest library in Scandinavia and it operates as Denmark's national library as well as the library of Copenhagen University.

The Royal Library was extended towards an island in the harbour in 1999 with a building featuring a black marble and glass facade, known to locals as the "black diamond". The entire institution is home to countless, valuable books, magazines and archives and for this reason, security systems must comply with the strictest requirements. The locking system in the Royal Library is an EVVA 3KS system. EVVA's tried and tested mechanical 3KS locking system is based on a patented, springless principle featuring unique curve key cuts to reliably prevent unauthorised access thanks to the system's high degrees of key copying protection. The system was installed to the full satisfaction of the client as part of a successful collaboration between EVVA and its Danish distributor Sanistaal and it is now contributing to protecting the valuable, royal book archives.

This object was realised with the locking system 3KSplus, which corresponds to today's 4KS locking system.

 Curtin University

Country: Australia

A total of 7,000 lock cylinders and 300 3KSplus locking system padlocks, made by Austrian manufacturer EVVA, are in use at Curtin University in Western Australia. The experienced, Australian EVVA distributor Lock & Key installed the EVVA locking system.

Until 2011, the facilities at Curtin University had been operating eight different security systems. Security Supervisor Sean Daly reports: "we were faced with a security risk when patents for various systems were due to expire. Additionally, the use of many different locking systems made handling very difficult." For this reason, the management of Curtin University — more precisely a controlling committee — was seeking an alternative security solution. The requirements are very diverse: one single system must secure all six Curtin University campuses. The system had to be reliable and provide long-term patent protection. 3KSplus is a system that meets all the requirements in the eyes of the committee and an independent security consultant. The system is ideal for locking systems with a complex structure and a vast number of different user groups. This applies most of all to systems with a changing structure and hence particularly to universities. Thanks to the patented, springless curve technology, this robust system is suitable for the toughest conditions. The overlapping curve key cuts guarantee optimum security. Additionally, patent protection for 3KSplus does not expire until 2025 and this consequently provides protection against copied keys, illegal key copies and key manipulations. Security Supervisor Sean Daly and his team identified the circumstances at each door of the six campuses and compiled a system matrix. In future, the matrix is intended to manage all 14,000 keys that were handed out to employees and suppliers. The campuses were divided into five zones. In Daly's opinion, this increases the security. "It also increases the system's options for extensions", Daly continues. There is one master key for each zone. Additionally, there is a "master key" for each building and institute as well as individual keys for each room. Furthermore, various service keys will be handed over to service providers. System installation was launched in December 2011 and was completed June 2014. Sean Daly is delighted about the professional level of collaboration with Lock & Key. We were able to implement a difficult project in simple terms thanks to an excellent collaboration. For Daly, 3KSplus complies with all the requirements: "The system is robust and reliable."

This object was realised with the locking system 3KSplus, which corresponds to today's 4KS locking system.

EVVA AirKey system in Singaporean St. Andrew's Secondary School - Electronic access control system with digital cylinders and digital padlocks

The client

St. Andrew’s Secondary School is an Anglican all-boys school run according to traditional British lines. The school itself belongs to the mega cluster of The Saints Family, of which all its schools – including the St. Andrew’s Junior School and St. Andrew’s Junior College - are located in the St. Andrew’s Village in Potong Pasir which is the central part of Singapore.

The challenge

The operations manager of St. Andrew’s Secondary School contacted ACOM Asian Resources Pte Ltd, a well-established EVVA AirKey certified partner, in hopes of finding a solution to minimize the cost and effort in managing the administration of physical, mechanical keys. Prior to contacting ACOM Asian Resources Pte Ltd, 2 students per class were assigned security in charge duties for classrooms, whereby they had to unlock and lock the classroom for their cohorts. The students had to draw out the physical keys from the general office before class and return them after class every day.

The solution

Mr. Jerrold Neo with Mr. Ong Hiap Leong of ACOM Asian Resources Pte Ltd proposed and presented the EVVA AirKey system to the school’s operation team. After presenting the AirKey system with Mr. Ryan Goh (EVVA’s Singapore Sales Manager) and by highlighting the use of smartphones to access any doors secured with AirKey component, the operations team of St. Andrew’s Secondary School were intrigued by the potential of AirKey in their daily operations. To enable the users at St. Andrew’s Secondary School to experience first-hand all the benefits of the powerful and simple AirKey system, ACOM offered a trial installation to the school, whereby users could test AirKey cylinders and AirKey padlocks. The response was ecstatic and the choice was an easy one to make for the school. Soon after the test installation, the school’s operation team decided to use 61 AirKey cylinders in over 40 classrooms, science rooms, IT rooms, design and technical rooms and 2 AirKey padlocks for their hall and canteen. Today, the school is considering expanding the use of the AirKey system to even more rooms within the St. Andrew’s Secondary School and potentially the entire St. Andrew’s Village.
