J&T – Tower 115 building

One of J&T’s big development projects in the field of office space is Tower 115. At a height of 115 meters, Tower 115 is the highest building in Bratislava, providing its occupants with an immense panorama of Bratislava and its surrounding areas. The construction of this 28-floor administrative building is symbolic for the beginning of a new era for the area. The first and second floors house commercial, service and relaxation centres while the basement offers storage. The building also houses a bank, coffee house, restaurant, dining room, fitness centre and more. The remaining floors are dedicated office space.

Pre-existing situation & UTCFS’s role

Tower 115 is one of J&T's most high profile developments in Slovakia: its contemporary design is matched by the high quality of the equipment it uses. No expense was spared on the security systems for this prestigious and highly modern environment. Tower 115's investors insisted upon an access control security system that would be user-friendly, highly reliable and easy to manage by each tenant, floor-by-floor. Simultaneously, the system had to be optimised to allow each tenant access only to their own office spaces without the possibility to change others’ access rights and system settings without first having the right clearance. UTCFS had the suitable product portfolio to meet these high demands and presented their solution to Tower 115's investors.

UTCFS’s solution

In order to answer to all of Tower 115's needs, UTCFS installed an access control solution based on its ATS Master. In Tower 115, there are to date 25 networked UTCFS ATS control panels installed, which receive inputs from over 150 access points. These access points are used by several thousands to access shops, offices, etc. Each and every single person who enters the building has their own access badge, granting access to areas for which they have authorisation. The management of member rights is particularly useful in a building like Tower 115, where multiple businesses and stores are located. The entire access control system of the building is operated from a central point in the building where access rights are managed and movements throughout the facility, if needed, can be monitored. In addition to this, every company renting office space can control the access rights of their employees from on-site or remote locations.
