St. Alexius Medical Center in Illinois, U.S, recently modernized its 500 door opening facility with an integrated access control solution consisted of mechanical key system, electromechanical exit devices, and wireless access control solutions that were all touched up with antimicrobial coating. Assa Abloy, with a close end-user relationship proposed the use of new product innovations to modernize the safety and security.
Having established door opening standards for its facilities the center sought to balance this consistency with the evaluation and integration of relevant life-safety and security solutions to help the new facility meet its goals for the patient experience. Since it was a pediatric facility, it was equally important that safety and security be seamless.
The new key system with patent protection until 2027, allowed the facility to update its mechanical security and future-proofed upgrades of other hospital facilities. New wireless access control solutions extended the reach of the extended access control system and provided the security and audit capabilities necessary to meet healthcare privacy requirements. Electromechanical exit devices and the recently designed push/pull trim, all with antimicrobial coating finish became new standards for the facility. Assa product brands used in the solution for hardware and access control: HES, Markar, McKinney, Norton, Rixson, Rockwood, Sargent; Hollow Metal Doors and Frames: Curries; Key System: Medeco; Solutions: MicroShield.
