Blackbird Security Partners with Quad at York for Security Services

The student lifestyle is back in full swing, with Canada’s universities welcoming students back to in-person education. Making sure these students are protected and safe is top of mind for academic institutions, with many turning to companies like Blackbird Security to provide campus security services and prevent criminals from exploiting students’ presence.

Student safety and security means so much more than just ensuring their laptops and personal property is safe. It’s also about providing reassurance to students that their safety is a top priority – allowing them to focus on their academic studies and achieving their potential.

Blackbird Security is Canada’s number one provider of professional security services. If you’re in the market for front desk security, building security or security patrols, learn how our innovative hybrid security services are protecting a new client, The Quad at York University.

The Quad at York and Blackbird Security

We are proud to announce the beginning of an exciting new security partnership with The Quad at York in Toronto, Ontario. Located in the south of York’s Keele Campus, The Quad is a fully amenitized student housing development that’s quickly become a bustling campus community. It’s home to restaurants, hairdressers, coffee shops and even bicycle repair shops!

Like any other residential development in Southern Ontario, students are drawn to The Quad for its impressive amenity list, sense of security and exclusive location. Blackbird Security is playing an important role for The Quad, with our dedicated and flexible Ontario security guards performing security foot patrols and emergency response services.

Our Ontario security guards are trained to act in a discreet and welcoming manner, assisting residents with any emergency situation that arises, while always ensuring students are enjoying this spacious and quiet community.

On-site, our team performs a hybrid role of concierge security, alongside more traditional uniformed security guards. What this means in practice, is that our concierge security guards act as front desk security, providing access control, upkeep of building policies, and a warm welcome to residents when they return home. This front-of-house presence is augmented perfectly by our uniformed security guards, who conduct regular patrols to look for property damage, safety hazards, compromised access points, suspicious activity and potential environmental concerns.

This hybrid approach allows our team to maximize security coverage and visible security presence, all while reassuring residents their safety is top of mind.

Would your campus or property benefit from Blackbird Security’s industry leading security and safety services? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
