We developed several interlinked PA systems for the site which allow staff to communicate quickly and effectively around the building.The centre has a six zone system which is arranged to enable music and announcements to be made to any area on an individual, collective or "all call" basis.
The main pool and sports hall have input facilities available for use in swimming galas and events for local announcements and playback of music with local equipment racks in store rooms.
These functions can take place without interrupting other areas of the centres which would operate as normal. Two dance studios also have separate music systems installed which are overridden with emergency messages and muted when the fire alarm is activated.
Finally the pool alarm is connected to the PA system which broadcasts emergency announcements throughout the centre to summon staff in the event of an emergency, making further use of the distributed public address speaker network.
