Emergency Call Stations at Scotia Square Parkade, Halifax

Client: Crombie REIT · Site: Scotia Square Parkade, downtown Halifax · Scope: Supply, installation and configuration of six emergency call stations

Parkades are a classic security challenge: concrete construction that blocks radio and cell signals, low sightlines, and users who may be alone at night between a locked car and a distant exit. For a property manager like Crombie REIT, the duty-of-care question is direct — if someone needs help on level three at 11 p.m., how do they get it?

Northeastern’s technical security team worked with Crombie REIT to install and configure six emergency call stations throughout the Scotia Square Parkade. Each station gives anyone in the parkade an immediate, obvious point of contact in an emergency — press the button, reach a live response. The project was covered by SecurityInfoWatch, the North American security industry publication. [CONFIRM: link to the SecurityInfoWatch article; confirm call-station monitoring arrangement wording]

Why it matters if you manage property: call stations, cameras and patrol coverage work as one system. The same team that installed this system designs video surveillance and monitoring for parkades, multi-tenant buildings and campuses across Atlantic Canada.
