Project Spotlight: Oaklands College, St Albans — Compact Operators for Seamless Entry
In January 2025, Prosale completed a successful installation at the newly developed Oaklands College site in St Albans, delivering modern access solutions that reflect the forward-thinking design of the campus.
The project involved fitting two sets of double swing doors using the Compact automatic door operator—a choice that perfectly aligns with the site’s emphasis on functionality, energy efficiency, and contemporary aesthetics.
Compact Operators: Small in Size, Big on Performance
The Compact operator is one of the most advanced systems in our lineup, offering a streamlined design without compromising on power or performance. At Oaklands College, these units were selected specifically for their efficiency, reliability, and status as the newest model on the market—an ideal match for a cutting-edge education facility.
With their low-profile housing and silent operation, Compact operators are perfect for high-traffic areas where both accessibility and aesthetics matter. Their integration ensures students, staff, and visitors can move smoothly through the space with minimal energy loss—supporting the college’s focus on sustainability and modern design.
Installation Snapshot
The install itself ran exactly to plan. Our experienced team ensured that all works were carried out efficiently, safely, and on schedule, with zero disruption to the ongoing site development. Thanks to the simplicity and versatility of the Compact operator, we were able to carry out a quick installation without compromising on long-term durability or ease of use.
A Strong First Impression
Set against the striking architecture of the new campus, the sleek automatic doors not only enhance accessibility but also contribute to the building’s professional and welcoming appearance. The finished result speaks for itself—blending seamlessly with the modern lines and materials of the college’s façade.
