What do schools and universities demand from a door?
- Safety — reliable operation on escape routes and fire compartments, given the number of occupants a school or campus building can hold.
- Supervision — vision panels that let staff observe classrooms and corridors without removing student privacy entirely.
- Heavy daily use — hundreds of opening and closing cycles a day, by students who have no reason to treat doors gently.

Working with Alpha on an education project
School and university projects often need to be sequenced around term dates, with installation windows limited to holiday periods. Alpha works with contractors and facilities teams to plan manufacturing and installation against those constraints. See Capabilities for the design, manufacturing and installation support available.
