ADVANCED FIRE PROTECTION FOR MINNEAPOLIS

摘要

This April, the Minneapolis Convention Center opened the doors on a seamless expansion that adds 200,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space, 33 more meeting rooms and a 3,400-seat plenary hall. With a total size of approximately 1,500,000 sq. ft., the center's usable space has nearly been doubled. Naturally, managment insisted that a state-of-the-art fire-protection system be part of such an ambitious expansion plan. Except for its low-voltage communication wiring, the facility's original zoned firealarm system was completely scrapped. Officials looked for a system that was sophisticated, yet user friendly, and one that would discourage human error, but which could still be operated with ease and speed.
