Fire protection solutions for university and college campuses
Help protect students, faculty, campus staff and assets with integrated life-safety solutions
In 2024, fires in the US resulted in property damage of about $19 billion
With over 3,200 campus fires reported annually in the US, fire safety remains a top concern, especially in student residence halls. Aging infrastructure and deferred maintenance backlogs increase risks where modern fire systems are missing or not functioning properly. This drives the need for a modern, integrated approach to protect students, faculty, and mission-critical research.
Johnson Controls delivers end-to-end fire safety from detection and suppression, to mass notification and compliance. Our local experts are on-hand to support you with services designed for campus environments.
