Kent School is a private college preparatory boarding school that includes 19 buildings spread across 1,200 acres in Kent, Conn. Student, employee, and visitor safety is always a priority. Last year the school had challenges with its mass notification system, requiring the safety director to look at new technology. The school turned to Siemens for direction.
After visiting Kent School’s campus and reviewing its current system, Siemens recommended installing a Desigo® Mass Notification System with Intelligent Voice Communication fire panels and IP speakers. This combination would provide a more robust emergency voice communication and mass notification system that could communicate through Siemens’ comprehensive Desigo™ CC building management station. Three buildings have already received system upgrades, with two more expected to come online this summer.
