Case Study: Visitation Parish

complete system integration

Visitation Parish in Elmhurst, IL comprises a 12-acre campus of multiple buildings, serving a church community of over 3000 families, 550 students in its K-8 school and 600 families in its Religious Education program.

The Challenge

While its expansion efforts were exciting, Visitation Parish was dealing with a communication center in need of a complete systems integration overhaul. The technology was having a tough time keeping up with the bricks and mortar.

How so? Phone systems were fundamentally different from one another. Security areas had much room for improvement. And the infrastructure to link all buildings on campus was sorely lacking.

THE SOLUTION

Medlin saw a number of technological opportunities to enhance the communication environment at Visitation Parish and decided a complete systems integration was needed.

To link all buildings, Medlin integrated a complete voice/data cable infrastructure. Phone systems were better aligned to enable a true all-campus communication center. Security got its needed upgrade in the form of a door entry system, card access capability and CCTV cameras at various points of entry. There’s even WiFi throughout the school.

The Results

Through complete systems integration, Medlin has helped Visitation Parish complete its key projects and has become a trusted partner for a variety of new programs to build, expand and update campus facilities.

Visitation Parish can launch capital campaigns with confidence, knowing that Medlin will be able to fulfill all of its needs in:
