Student ID cards integrate with access control system at Maine college
Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine is in the process of launching a new ID card system in which student IDs will be used to gain access to campus buildings and residence halls. Cards must be swiped through special readers located at the entrance of each building. The system grants access to authorized individuals, and also has the ability to track card-use. A history of card activity is stored on an IT server, where the school can access it in response to specific concerns, for instance investigating cases of theft or vandalism.
Those visiting the school for on-campus events will be issued temporary visitor badges that also work with the swipe-card system.
