Turnstiles for Schools and Universities: Strengthening Campus Security
In today's world, there has been a rising concern over K-12 and university security with a clear, growing need for campus access control. With so many people coming and going from schools and universities, most of whom carry some sort of bag with any number of items, it's clear there are vulnerabilities in overall campus security. There are many ways to improve campus security including things like clear bags, metal detectors, and other methods, these tend to be invasive and often leave students and faculty uneasy, nervous, or irritated. Luckily, turnstiles offer a simple, non-invasive yet secure part of a comprehensive access plan to increase security in your school or campus without compromising on access control.
Unique Challenges in Educational Settings
It's no secret that schools and campuses can be hard to secure; kids will always find a way to sneak things in. There's a number of factors to consider such as smaller individuals, the high backpack/bag volume, cost, traffic flow, aesthetics, etc. Luckily, traditional turnstile solutions especially paired with metal detection portals offer a seamless security checkpoint for students and faculty alike. Simply pass through the checkpoints one at a time and these non-invasive, safety systems will automatically detect metals as well as control the hectic flow of traffic.
Outside of main entrances to schools, turnstiles also offer a great security solution for lunchrooms, student centers, and fitness/recreational facilities. It's not just about heightening security or controlling traffic; it's also about maintaining a safe environment with low-profile, simple-looking, waist-height turnstiles. In short:
