What to Consider When Deciding on University Student Housing Security Desks

While parents may be worried about academics and students more concerned with parties or friends, one thing that everyone can agree on is this: security is paramount on university campuses. Onsite housing has to be secure; operating fully-equipped security desks is a must to ensure safety and give both parents and students more peace-of-mind. What should you consider when choosing your security desks?
Keep the following questions in mind when selecting university student housing security desks:

• What type of functionality do you need? Security desks can be equipped with a number of features, depending on your particular needs. These include: work spaces (for computers), locked drawers and/or boxes, transaction counter for people to sign in and out, casters for portability, and locked alert boxes so students and others can leave messages in the event that someone needs help. Carroll Seating Company specializes in creating customized solutions for your work spaces.

• What size will work best for your residential building? Security desks can come in a variety of sizes, as well as custom sizes. Are space concerns a primary factor? Do you need room for more than one employee at the desk?
• Do you want university branding and customization? Security desks perform an important function, but they can also pull double duty. Why not brand them with your school’s colors, mascot, and slogan, or the name of the particular residence. This can help create a cohesive appearance among campus housing and a sense of community.

Safety is a major concern for students and universities; opting for customized security desks will help your school provide the safe environment on-campus residents need and depend on as they walk to classes in the morning and to and from the library (or a party!) at night.
