The goal of the Allen Institute was to facilitate the building according to the international standards. The institute wanted to host its students with globally accepted standards. Safety was one of the majorly focused aspects in design considerations. It was analysed that there were several causes that could raise ignition in the institute further leading to disastrous fire.
In addition to be compliant, Allen institute strongly emphasizes on safety and security issues. The Allen institute aimed to ensure that everyone concerned with the staff to the students understand the requirements of fire safety in order to ensure optimum safety for all who are present in the building. They aimed to focus on life and property safety. Allen institute wanted a solution that could match its required standards. They wanted to opt for a future ready addressable system that could pin point the exact location of fire. The installation must not involve any changes to the newly constructed building’s architecture.
A large number of students gathered at one place and a single fire can affect all of them. Most of the furniture in a class room such as chairs, tables and desks are made from wood which is easily flammable. Air-conditioned rooms can trap fire, smoking and accidental fires, in the same manner can lead to life threatening scenarios. With more dense occupants in an area, the risk for fire load increases and at the same time, evacuation process gains more importance. Even in case of power cuts, terror attacks or any other emergencies, quick and planned evacuation is extremely important. One of the key requirements of Allen institute was to have early detection so the key stakeholders can contribute to life and property safety.
