Enhancing Accessibility and Efficiency: Creating user friendly entrances at Birmingham University

FAAC Entrance Solutions have a long-standing relationship with Birmingham University, having installed many doors and operators in the past. The University has a large campus, and they have a few projects under their belts where improved sustainable access has been achieved.

Below is a fine selection of some of their more recent installations.

Project Year: 2023

Product: ASSA ABLOG SW200 Operator
Product: ASSA ABLOY SW200 Operator
Product: ASSA ABLOY SL500 F

Project Background: The University’s goal is to make every door and every entrance accessible for everyone so it's inclusive, reflecting their commitment to diversity and equality. By prioritizing accessibility, they aim to ensure that all members of the university community, regardless of their physical abilities, can navigate the campus with ease. Through these efforts, Birmingham University continues to set a standard for higher education institutions striving to provide equitable access to education and resources for all.

With this in mind, the facilities management team required robust, reliable and energy saving elements to their entrances.

Solution: Two of the buildings required strong operators to withstand the daily use of their current swing doors. Their elegant heavy duty SW200 swing door operators were incorporated into one of the University’s main entrances and The Harding building, which both required reliability and ease of entrance, as students are often carrying heavy bags full of books and electronics. The SL500 Frame sliding door was installed in the Arts & Law building, allowing for a seamless and responsive entrance as you enter the bright lobby. This helped to reduce the amount of energy required in this building, making it more efficient at heating and cooling.

They have more projects in the pipeline with Birmingham University as they continue to enhance their facilities. Their commitment to providing first-rate door solutions and operators aligns perfectly with the university's mission to create a welcoming and accessible environment for students, staff, and visitors.
