The Glasgow School of Art
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Audiebant to other businesses and other higher education institutes. As a team, they are very supportive, they listen, and they have got a product that works, certainly for us” Ian Hackford, Head of Health and Safety and Security Intelligence
Set across multiple buildings in the heart of Glasgow, the Glasgow School of Art required a modern lockdown communication system that could keep pace with a busy, creative campus.
With evolving safety expectations and the approach of Martyn’s Law, the art school needed a reliable solution to support both everyday communication and response during critical incidents.
Previously, communication methods lacked immediacy and consistency across the estate. Staff needed a system that was simple to use under pressure, while still allowing for clear, zoned messaging or full campus wide alerts when required. A flexible, intuitive lockdown system was essential.
Audiebant delivered a tailored lockdown communication system designed to integrate seamlessly into daily operations while strengthening emergency preparedness. Staff can trigger alerts at multiple levels, from single buildings to full lockdown, ensuring controlled responses during critical incidents. The system is accessible across devices, including audio, screens, and mobile, providing a consistent experience across the campus.
“One of the things that attracted us to Audiebant, was the ability to zone, and send different messages to different areas. With our campus spread across the city, its vital we can keep buildings informed during ongoing incidents”
The platform has quickly become part of everyday life at the art school, supporting scheduled announcements and improving coordination across departments and buildings.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Audiebant as a company to install this kind of system, to other businesses and other higher education institutes. As a team, they are very supportive, they listen, and they have got a product that works, certainly for us. I have nothing but praise for Audiebant from beginning to end”
Since installation, the Glasgow School of Art has seen a clear improvement in both safety and communication. Messaging during critical incidents is now faster and more reliable, while day to day announcements help keep operations running smoothly.
The implementation demonstrates how a modern lockdown communication system can support both emergency responses, and daily efficiency, giving art schools and other institutions a practical and dependable solution for managing communication across complex, multi-site environments.
