Emergency Telephone System Board : Peoria and Bartonville, Illinois
10,500 square feet | $1.6 million
THE CHALLENGE
The Emergency Telephone System Board had outgrown their existing spaces and needed to update their existing systems at both the Peoria and Bartonville locations. The Peoria location needed to update their security cameras, fire alarm, and lighting systems while tying into the existing building systems. The Bartonville location had both space and budget constraints.
KED SOLUTION : Designing Technological Advancements
To accommodate the Bartonville location, we designed simple, economic systems. At the Peoria location, we closely coordinated with the existing system vendors to ensure that the new systems tied into the existing systems seamlessly. We also specified a new fire alarm system dedicated to the ETSB spaces. A backup power system was designed with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), thereby ensuring the 911 Call Center would never go down due to a power outage. The client benefited from enhanced security measures as we updated their door access control to limit access to authorized personnel.
