and safety restrictions were still in place, such
as limiting the number of individuals allowed
in the facility and social distancing practices.
The integrator had to work around these
obstacles, while also adhering to the project
timeline, a strict budget and keeping everyone
safe and secure while the bank, deemed an essential
business, was still open.
" Throughout the renovation process, our
Fulton Bank headquarters and financial center
would remain occupied, which meant at
no point could the security system be inactive
during the installation, " adds Illes. " That rebefore

quired Securitas Technology to implement a
phased approach to the installation to ensure
there were no gaps or errors in security. "
The first phase occurred prior to bringing
the completed system to Fulton Bank. Each
technology component - devices, wires,
cameras, turnstiles - was arranged and pretested
in the Securitas Technology's Technology
Evaluation Lab. There, security technology
is fully researched and evaluated to ensure
no breaches in security would occur when
installed onsite. The lab is managed by the
Product Evaluation Committee, a key group
of Securitas Technology subject matter experts
from various functional departments that
evaluates and vets various facets of technology.
Once the design and engineering team confirmed
that each test was successfully completed,
it was then delivered to Fulton Bank's Protection
Services Department test environment
to undergo additional screening and approval

Designed to Deliver
Although quick retrofits and camera upgrades
are common solutions for financial institutions,
Fulton Bank needed a complete lobby
renovation. There are two lobby areas on the
ground floor of Fulton Bank headquarters:
Lobby 'A' and Lobby 'B.' Both could not be
down at the same time, leading to phases two
and three. The entire security team, including
vendors, Fulton Bank Protection Services
staff, Securitas Technology and more were
able to start installing the upgraded systems
to Lobby A, while Lobby B had full security
function and capabilities.
Once Lobby A was completed and brought
online, it was time to install all upgrades to
Lobby B while Lobby A had full security
functions and capabilities. Taking the time to
complete one installation before moving on
to the next was a necessity to ensure that the
security system at Fulton Bank headquarters
was never offline.
The project included a comprehensive integrated
system design, including a few additional
innovative installations (see sidebar
for an overview of systems details). Fulton
Bank's headquarters includes a financial center
with six floors of offices. After the lobby
installation was complete, Securitas worked
to ensure the touchless experience was extended
throughout the building by installing
42 new dormakaba ED900 low-energy swing
automatic door operators with touchless
wave readers.
The automatic operators are ADA compliant,
exceptionally quiet and open at precisely
controlled speeds and forces, helping to ensure
safety for all users. Although not all 42
door automatic operators are integrated into
the Lenel access control system, the high-traffic
automatic openers are connected to the
complete system.
To enhance the same touchless experience
for the bank's customers during the pandemic
and maintain mandated social distancing
practices, the integrator installed a self-serve
safety deposit box system in the bank financial
center, located on the ground floor of Fulton
Bank headquarters. A biometric IDEMIA
