After three years, replacing thousands of card readers across over 170 buildings, the first phase of AggieAccess is complete, which means all electronic access systems on the Davis campus have been updated and centralized, improving building security and creating a foundation for expanding electronic access.
As more readers are upgraded and new credentials are distributed, the AggieAccess team wants to ensure all users are able to easily and reliably get where they need to go.
“The new AggieAccess cards and readers allow us to implement an extra level of encryption to our electronic access systems,” said Jeff Rott, director of physical security systems for the UC Davis Police Department.
AggieAccess — UC Davis' new electronic entry system — is making access to rooms and buildings easier and more secure by consolidating entry systems and launching a mobile credentials program that turns a smart phone into a digital key card.
