The University of Birmingham transformed its student accommodation experience by replacing traditional keys with a fully integrated access control system. By combining student ID and room access into a single card, the university eliminated queues during move-in and allowed students to access rooms immediately upon arrival. Integration with accommodation management systems ensures access is automatically assigned and updated, reducing administrative burden. The system also supports duty-of-care requirements by enabling staff to monitor student activity and wellbeing. This modern approach improves security, reduces costs, and delivers a smoother, more efficient experience for both students and staff.
