The project is anticipated to take approximately one year to complete. The hardware changes will be completed in a phased approach, with one building at a time being scheduled.
The first buildings scheduled for new hardware installation are Riverfront Hall and Capitol Village #s 1-3. After completion of these building, the hardware changes will be completed in a phased approach, with buildings being scheduled using a matrix of availability and priority. The project team will be reaching out to building coordinators and door owners to discuss the project’s business process implications and scheduling as a building upgrade sequence is developed.
As of January 12, 2020, sixty-two buildings have been changed or added to the new system.
The project team currently estimates that building upgrades may take from one to four days to complete the hardware update, depending on the complexities of the building. This estimate will be refined as the project progresses, allowing for more specific detailed estimates for each building on campus.
No; all existing Millenium doors will be included in the DPW project budget.
No; the card readers and door hardware will not change. The building and door controllers which communicate with the readers will be changed out.
There may be a small increase, however these details are not yet confirmed. This site will be updated as these details emerge.
The new software is Lenel OnGuard. OnGuard is one of the leading card access systems in the world and once implemented will provide a significant improvement in securing the campus.
