Case Study: Automatic Doors: Primary School – Bristol

Our Lady of the Rosary School was built in 1955 and provides a Catholic education for children from 4 to 11 years of age. It is situated in the north-west of the city of Bristol and primarily serves the local parish community and children from the neighbouring parish of St. Anthony's in Henbury and Sacred Heart in Westbury on Trym.

Primary School Situation:

Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School wanted to renovate the entrance of their school building to create a new appearance while at the same time increasing both the security and safety of the building. They aimed to achieve two goals with this project, one to ensure everyone in the school is safe from any form of threating behavior or harm and secondly to give their pupils and teachers a sense of pride in their school. In order to achieve these goals, Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School needed to find a company that would be able to supply and install the new automated system within a fairly tight schedule. The works needed to be carried out within 3 weeks as the new school year begins thereafter.

Automatic Doors Solution:

ADSF UK LTD recommended that a Single swing Premis 120 fully automatic door operator with activation and safety be installed. This package included 1 no ADSF - Premis 120 swing door operator, 1 no ADSF- Premis pull arm, 1 no ADSF 3 position toggle switch, 2 no ADSF HR50 Activation sensors and 2 no ADSF – BEA door safety sensors.
The fully automated entrance system will instantly give the schools entrance a modern and contemporary look, on the structure. Moreover, the Premis 120 swing door operator is fully compliant to EN 16005 making it perfect for scholastic use. A finger guard was also fitted for additional safety.
The automatic swing door opener addressed the need for safety and security. The automatic doors can be easily locked to protect children inside the building and the automatic function assists in an efficient and smooth access/exit from the premises.
Everybody associated with Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School was very pleased with the result of the project. The automatic doors certainly improved the aesthetic appeal of the school. Children who came on the first day of school were excited about the new way of entering the school and the teaching staff were able to carry their belongings and equipment easily inside.
The pupils were able to enter and leave the school in a safe manner. The sensors in the automatic doors worked efficiently so the pupils were safe from being hit by the door and they do not have to worry about their hands being caught accidentally and injured.
The Governors of Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School achieved more than their initial goals. The glass panels on the entrance screen also allowed more light to enter the building’s interiors, making the atmosphere more comfortable and pleasant. With the quality ADSF - Premis 120 operator professionally installed the school will also be able to save on renovation and repair costs in the future. The robust and durable operator will last for many years despite the heavy daily use by over 500 pupils. In the first few months after the high level installation, the school also noticed a significant reduction in their heating bill. They expect to save even more monies once winter sets in since the automatic doors are able to keep outside elements at bay.
