Videx, the experts in door entry, has won a big contract to provide a robust access control solution to a brand new student accommodation development in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The development, which will welcome its first residents this week, will provide 123 student flats in Clavering Place, a prime location in the centre of Newcastle for those choosing to study and live in the city.

VX2200 digital door entry system

Talking about the project, Steve Natton, Projects Manager at Videx, said: “In partnership with our installation partner, SMT Electrical, we have installed our leading VX2200 digital door entry system to ensure the safety and security of students but also allow easy and convenient access. We provided a high level of support throughout the project so that each stage of the installation went smoothly and any challenges faced were addressed and quickly overcome. All of the client’s requirements were met and their objectives achieved with the new door entry installation.”

Range of amenities

The scheme has been designed by Newcastle-based Intersect Architects to be ‘best in class’ in terms of accommodation in the city and will provide larger than average rooms in a mix of self-contained studio units and ensuite bedrooms in cluster flats, with a range of amenity space including a large communal lounge, study room, television room and gym.
