Why was the Fire-Cryer chosen?
University is a higher education facility with over 20,000 students from various nationalities across the globe. In the event of an emergency, evacuating the building as quickly and effectively as possible is the main priority.
The university was having issues with its existing fire alarm not reaching everybody in the building, effecting the ability to safely evacuate its occupants in a timely manner. Voice evacuation was required to provide clear unambiguous messages as well as high sound sounders to reach the whole building. Easy to install, Fire-Cryer limits disruption to student learning time which is critical in a higher education facility.
The Fire-Cryer range of products are also bilingual which is essential for a multi-national university, Swansea University in particular required English and Welsh messaging for their large population of Welsh speaking students.
