All Buildings - Next Generation Security System (NGSS) - Burwood/Warrnambool/Waterfront/Waurn Ponds
Starts 01/09/2020, finishes 31/12/2021After several years of investigation, preparation and testing, the Next Generation Security System (NGSS) project is now in full swing and will soon be commencing work to replace access card readers across Deakin doors on all our campuses and Learning Centres.
The NGSS is an important and large-scale body of work that will enhance Deakin's security capabilities on all campuses. The project involves replacing the university's existing security alarm and door access system, as well as our emergency mass communications system. It will introduce contemporary technology that improves back-end administration, streamlines alarm management processes and lays the foundations for future tech improvements.
Works have started in Waurn Ponds and will continue until the end of 2021. Most of the project happens behind-the-scenes, but you may notice contractors replacing access card readers in your building. There might be some drilling noise while works are underway, but the impacts will be minimised as much as possible. Nobody should lose access to their building space, and once new card readers have been installed on doors your Deakin Card will automatically work. If you have any issues, you can contact ngss-project@deakin.edu.au.
