Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected Jul 14, 2026

As part of resuming delayed projects, RVC is extending a new security system from the Health Sciences Center to the ATC and two more buildings, and designing broad fire alarm system upgrades. Design work is underway or about to start, but installation contracts are not yet specified. Security integrators, fire alarm vendors, and low‑voltage contractors can track these scopes as they move from design to bid, offering assessments, standards, and phased implementation plans now.

Security system work includes converting the HSC top floor and ATC to the new system; further buildings will follow.
