Winning at Headingley Stadium
One example of a sports venue that has been working behind the scenes for the benefit of its visitors and all its guests , including spectators and across its hospitality facilities , is Headingley Stadium in Leeds .
Headingley Stadium is a double-faced sports stadium that works seamlessly for both Yorkshire County Cricket Club and the rugby league club , Leeds Rhinos .
The unique concept of the jointly owned stand is undergoing a significant £ 50 million investment programme over a
twenty-year period , involving architects and designers coordinating with different needs and security aspects .
The specification for Headingley Stadium , especially for hospitality areas was exceptionally high . Architectural requirements had to be considered and integrated with increased levels of security and access control for corporate and players ’ entrances .
This collaborative approach involved EM-B , part of the MB Group and Mul-T-Lock demonstrating how security ,
when planned early in the specification process can be designed to seamlessly blend with its surroundings and operate to its full potential in line with requirements for security and safety .
To support Headingley Stadium , EM-B recommended Mul-T-Lock ’ s MTL500 profile , with over 250 cylinders installed on a master key suite . This provides high-security protection and flexibility to accommodate the different access control requirements across the stadium complex .
Combined together , the MTL500 master key system makes it easy for Security Managers at Headingley Stadium to operate as only one patent protected key is needed for all relevant doors . And there is a specific ability to control exactly who has access to which areas , differentiating between staff , team players and guests .
Mul-T-Lock ’ s MTL500 is the first cylinder in the UK to be supported by a unique key authorisation magnetic strip card . This card must be presented to a registered MTL500 locksmith before any additional keys can be supplied to ensure tight control of key duplication .
MTL500 also possesses a double locking mechanism that provides enhanced protection and is easily incorporated into large , complex , hierarchical systems , which are typically evident in stadiums and other larger venues .
Due to the diverse requirements on a project like Headingley Stadium , MTL500 guaranteed optimum security and accessibility across all facets of the grounds . The system also meets all international standards and offers enhanced resistance to varying forms of cylinder attack .
Designed for Headingley Stadium on a master key system , ensuring maximum key control across the site , the choice of MTL500 could accommodate the wide range of cylinder and padlock types and sizes . It is also flexible , as there are numerous keying operations , with the 3-in-1 keying system allowing a lock combination to be changed twice .
