Supporting Secure, Reliable Campus Environments

Facilities and housing teams manage some of the most visible—and most complex—parts of campus life. From residence halls and academic buildings to shared spaces and essential services, daily operations depend on systems that are reliable, secure, and easy to manage. 
 
By bringing access, operational data, and safety systems together, Illumia helps institutions improve coordination, reduce risk, and support well-functioning campus environments for students, staff, and visitors.



Operational Clarity Across Facilities and Housing

When access, identity, and safety systems work together, teams gain clearer visibility into how campus spaces are used and protected. A unified approach simplifies administration, strengthens security, and helps institutions respond more effectively across residential, academic, and shared environments. 
 
The result is a campus that feels safer, easier to navigate, and better aligned with student expectations.

Access and Security

Protect people and spaces with centralized control.

Managing access across campus facilities requires consistency, visibility, and the ability to respond quickly. A unified approach to access and security helps ensure buildings, residence halls, and restricted areas remain protected without disrupting campus life. 
  • Centralized management of door access across academic, residential, and operational spaces 
  • Secure entry supported by cards, mobile credentials, and biometrics 
  • Real-time visibility into access activity, doors, and alarms 
  • Faster response through coordinated controls and emergency actions 
  • Audit-ready reporting to support institutional safety policies

Campus and Housing Services

Multi-use credentials are central to how students experience campus. When one credential works across access points and daily services, students move through their day with fewer barriers—and teams gain simpler oversight. 
  • Single credentials for building access, dining, retail, and campus services 
  • Support for events, laundry, vending, parking, and more 
  • Mobile and contactless options that meet modern student expectations 
  • Reduced reliance on manual credential processes 
  • Clear visibility into credential usage across campus environments
