The University of Hull has brought their access control technology into the mobile age. To better serve its students while also increasing security throughout the campus, the university partnered with HID Global, a global provider of trusted identity solutions. The partnership has provided the university more efficient access control to campus buildings and has improved the experience for students and staff.
The University of Hull manages about 25,000 student and 2,500 staff identities with an expected increase in students year over year. Students and staff were accessing housing accommodations, lecture halls, libraries, research buildings, and other secure locations with old access card technology.
