Fire Protection/Emergency Communication System Unites Entire Campus Into One System
When GateWay Community College’s Director of Facilities Charlie Poure originally came on board as a Maricopa County Community College District facility director, he was disheartened to discover seven buildings on the 30-acre campus outfitted with different brands of obsolete fire alarm systems and faulty wiring.
“While the fire alarms would function, we spent a tremendous amount of money trying to repair them. We actually had one building which would go into alarm about once a week because of recurring faults in the wiring,” Poure recalls.
