As one door opens...


During the recess the college has had a bit of a makeover. Most importantly, new electronic fire doors have been installed in most of the corridors. What do you think of them? (Add your thoughts by clicking on the 'Comments' link at the end of this story)


These should help those of us carrying or pushing heavy stuff, like the stuff we take to the catering and hair and beauty areas. More importantly, no more struggling for those of us based in wheelchairs or other mobility restrictions. And, ok, for those of us just feeling a bit lazy, too.

The doors are great to operate.

On the wall a few metres in front of each set of doors is this push button - - - - >

Once pressed the doors smoothly open and stay open long enough for even the slowest of us to get through. Obviously, they then silently close behind us.

What do you think of 'em?

And the doors hit you very hard when they do hit you. How's that for health and safety.

What's the risk assessment say about being hit by heavy doors?
