Montacute Yards, a cutting-edge office and co-working space located in the heart of Shoreditch, epitomises modern work environments designed for creativity, collaboration, and productivity. Purchased by a London-based real estate investment and development firm, Montacute Yards offers a variety of amenities including tiered terraces, mezzanines, reading rooms, and a state-of-the-art gym.

Challenge:

As a bustling hub for professionals, Montacute Yards experiences a high volume of daily foot traffic from staff and visitors. The primary challenge was to implement a robust security system that could manage access across various levels while maintaining a secure environment for all occupants.

Solution provider:

Antron Security was chosen to equip Montacute Yards with an advanced security solution tailored to the needs of a dynamic co-working space. They selected Inner Range technology to secure common areas and adapted the system to meet the specific requirements of the co-working businesses within the building, serving approximately 1,200 users.

Solution:

The core of the security setup is the Inner Range system, featuring Integrity access control software. This system is centrally managed from the landlord control room, allowing security personnel to oversee building and perimeter security efficiently. Key features of Integrity include:

  • Comprehensive Access Control: Administered via a user-friendly interface, it allows for detailed report generation, user group and profile setup, and provides a building-wide graphical map displaying all access areas and monitored areas.
  • Integration Capabilities: Integriti is recognised for its ability to seamlessly integrate with an array of third-party security products, enhancing its functionality and scalability.
  • Lift Control: The software extends its capabilities to elevator management, controlling four passenger and one goods lift, restricting floor access based on user credentials.

Additional enhancements installed by Antron Security include:

  • IP-Based Access Control System: A fully integrated system that combines wired and wireless locking mechanisms.

  • Cloud-Hosted Solutions: Ensuring flexible and remote management capabilities.

  • Emergency Lockdown Facility: To quickly secure the building in crisis situations.
