Nimbus enhances fire safety at a leading university

The university is a leading higher education and research institution in areas as diverse as healthcare, chemistry, mathematics, and sports sciences. It comprises several sites scattered across the city and the surrounding region, which vary from student residences to lecture theatres to laboratories and workshops. This complexity presents a challenge to the university's fire safety management processes, which must comply with legislation such as the Fire Safety Order 2005. 
The challenge

Lack of visibility of fire protection systems

On-site inspections and tests, carried out Monday to Friday, were insufficient for a 24/7 multi-campus, academic and residential university.

The solution

Immediate notifications of fire control panel events

With 25 Nimbus Fixed Gateways installed, the University's estates team can now monitor more than 100 buildings, 24/7. Anywhere, anytime visibility.
