Evolution, the integrated fire and security systems business, has been appointed by Goldsmiths, University of London to deliver a comprehensive review and assessment of its security systems, as well as managing its ongoing maintenance requirements.
Goldsmiths teaches a wide range of subjects across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, and is home to more than 10,000 students. Situated in Southeast London, the university has a large campus with more than 90 buildings including a state-of-the-art theatre and features a large college green.

The university has an on-site security team, who monitor CCTV and security systems from the control room, as well as a team of over 40 guards that patrol the campus.
Due to a high level of faults and costly service call outs, the security team sought a new security partner that could provide a higher level of service and account management, and help reduce the number of unnecessary and avoidable engineer visits, through improved maintenance. It turned to Evolution to provide the solution.
