Dresden University of Technology

Project Overview

Three protective features, one door

As a University of Excellence, Dresden University of Technology ranks among Germany’s leading research institutions. Tens of thousands of people teach, conduct research, and study here, in buildings that must simultaneously meet three very different security requirements. The traditional solution would be multiple doors arranged in series. BUCHELE’s solution is a single door.

Requirement 1:

Fire safety

As the foundation of any safety plan, structural fire protection must safeguard people and buildings. The components supplied are certified fire doors that reliably contain fire and smoke in the event of an emergency and secure escape and rescue routes.

Requirement 2:

Burglary protection

Valuable laboratory equipment, expensive measuring instruments, and sensitive research findings require effective protection against unauthorized access. For this reason, these doors are also designed to be burglar-resistant and can withstand break-in attempts in accordance with a defined resistance class.

Requirement 3:

Bullet resistance

For areas requiring a high level of protection, a third function—certified bullet resistance—was added. Three independently certified protective functions, combined in a single door element: This saves space, simplifies escape route planning, and simply cannot be achieved with standard products. Multifunctionality of this kind is a core competency of BUCHELE.

And what about the look?

PLANE Line Superior.

Modern university architecture also places demands on design. That’s why doors from the premium PLANE Line Superior series were installed in high-profile areas: flush with the wall, without visible overlaps, painted in RAL colors upon request, in stainless steel, or with refined finishes. From the outside, a high-quality designer door; at its core, a high-security element. After all, security doesn’t have to be visible—you just have to be able to rely on it.
