Palatine School is a primary school in Worthing, West Sussex for those with Special Educational Needs. It educates 123 children between the ages of 4 and 11.
Palatine Primary School: Situation:
The management of Palatine Primary School felt it was time to renovate the entrance of their building to give it a fresh new look while at the same time increasing the security and safety of the place. They aimed to achieve two main goals with this project: to give their pupils and teachers a sense of pride for the school where they learn, and to ensure that everyone in the building is as safe as possible.
In order to achieve these goals, Palatine Primary School needed to find a company that would be able to create the most appropriate automated entrance solution and additionally to have the works completed within a set schedule during the summer break. Consultation with ADSF UK LTD followed and a project manager was assigned.
Automatic Doors Solution:
ADSF UK LTD suggested that a Single swing operator fully automatic be installed along with activation and safety. Using the existing door, our door technicians installed 1 no ADSF-Premis 120 face mounted automatic swing door opener which included; 1 no ADSF- Premis pull arm, 1 no ADSF push pad, 1 no ADSF Premis toggle switch and 1 no finger guard.
The new automated system will instantly give the school’s entrance a modern look and will make the building appear modern and contemporary with this neat addition to the structure. Moreover, aluminium is an ideal material for door frames because it is very durable and can withstanding excessive heat and rain.
The automatic swing door openers addressed the need for safety and security. They can be easily locked to protect children inside the building and the automatic function is very helpful for smooth access or exit.
Palatine Primary School Outcome:
Everyone associated with Palatine Primary School were very pleased with the result of the project. The automatic doors did improve the aesthetic appeal of the school. Children who came on the first day of school were surprised at the new and comfortable entrance way and all the teachers commended the changes that was made.
The young children were able to enter and leave the school in a safe manner. The sensors in the automatic doors never faltered, so the children were safe from being hit by the door or accidentally trapping their fingers inside. and they do not have to worry about their hands being caught. The school held a fire drill to test the efficiency of the new doors and another drill was made in case of threat from the outside, the doors performed well by being securely locked when required.
Palatine Primary School achieved more than their initial goals. As many of the pupils used mobility aides they were able to access the school just by pushing the pad and did not have to ask for assistance. The able bodied children also found the automatic doors easier for them as they carried bags and books in and out of school.
The new automated entrance made the atmosphere more comfortable and in the first few months after installation, the school also noticed a reduction in their heating bill. They expect to save even more once winter sets in since the automatic doors are able to keep outside elements from getting in.
