Access control is playing a vital role at newly opened community initiative located within the Warrington Wolves rugby stadium.

The system, supplied by Norbain and installed by G Security and Surveillance Limited, provides security for users and invaluable data for managers of the pioneering facilities.

The Warrington Wolves Community Learning & Sport Foundation is a stand-alone charitable trust, bringing together community groups and organisations. Part of the Wolves' Halliwell Jones Stadium has been developed to provide health, well being and learning facilities. Nine rooms have each been specially designed to suit the requirements of partners within the scheme. Users come from all age groups and so it was essential to provide a safe environment for in each zone.

 "We needed a networked access control system that would enable all areas to be monitored," says G Security and Surveillance Limited Sales Director Shaun Ryan. "We chose to use the Paxton Net2 system because it is so easy to set up and use."

The system secures doors throughout the area and can be easily set up to suit each day’s programme of events. Doors are individually fully controlled and can be released or locked depending on what activities are taking place. Authorised users have a fob that is programmed to allow entry to the appropriate area at the allocated time.

Uses of the system extend beyond security, says Foundation Director Neil Kelly. "It is also helping us to collate important information about usage. The system helps demonstrate that we are meeting the targets set as part of our funding, for example it is easy to trace when particular rooms have been used and by whom" he explains.

Foundation staff have full control of the operation. Neil Kelly praises the advice and help he received from G Security and Surveillance Limited and the additional training for users that Norbain provided. "The expertise was fantastic," he says.

The system is also linked into the stadium fire alarm system. "If the fire alarm goes off, the Paxton system will automatically release all the doors," says Shaun Ryan.
