EIC Security Barriers Installed

In the ongoing effort to improve the tenant experience at the e-innovation centre, interior security barriers have been installed. The new feature will mean an extra layer of security for businesses as well as an improved electronic sign-in system using ID cards which have been assigned to tenants.

This is a significant and much needed improvement on the previous paper sign-in system that should promote safety and make for a speedier and more efficient process.

Centre Manager Lynsey Whitfield said: “We have been planning to improve sign-in procedures for some time, and the new barrier is an essential evolution of the building’s function. eIC is a modern working environment and the new system definitely reflects this.”
