College campus security is crucial. Containing many young adults who’ve only recently moved out on their own, university dorms, classrooms, and cafeterias need to be safe but convenient enough to facilitate high traffic. What kind of system can accomplish this? Electronic access control systems from HSI Security in Dayton, OH offer some of the most cutting-edge solutions available.

Here are just a few benefits their systems offer:

  • access controlMultiple Uses for Key Cards: One common implementation of access control is the use of key cards, which allows students to enter buildings, rooms, and other campus facilities. They can also be used to keep track of cash balances, buy food, borrow books, do laundry, and other tasks. This way, students can easily live on campus without having to carry cash.

  • Campus Resources Protection: Certain campus buildings should undoubtedly be accessible to all students—such as cafeterias, fitness centers, and auditoriums. However, there are also facilities that only a few students need access to. For example, music studios or science labs may have expensive equipment that could easily be stolen without proper access control. In these situations, administrators can limit key card access to students enrolled in the applicable classes, thereby holding them accountable for stolen or vandalized property.

  • Easy to Replace: With a standard lock-and-key system, college management is presented with many problems. In the worst case scenario, a student could lose a key or make a copy and end up giving access to the wrong person. There is also the risk that graduates could forget to return their keys. You could periodically re-key each building, but that would involve considerable time and expense—especially since students graduate every year. With electronic access control, though, disabling access for recent grads and former faculty is much easier, and, if someone loses their card, all you need to do is disable it and create a new one.
