Beginning this fall, the University of Iowa will incorporate student ID cards into a new controlled access system for certain campus recreation buildings. The goal is to ensure students have first dibs on using these facilities, while faculty, staff and the public must purchase entry. The change came about after the school opened a new Campus Recreation and Wellness Center that resulted in each student paying an additional $219 in fees. Because of the extra costs the school felt it would be most fair if only students were granted free admission to these facilities. The best solution was to develop an access control system using student ID cards to grant entry.

Now students have free access to the buildings, but must swipe their student IDs to get in. Along with controlling access to the new Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, ID cards will also be required for those wishing to enter the University of Iowa Field House, the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Building, and Halsey Hall. At each facility, students will run their student ID cards through a card reader located at the reception desk.
