Case Study: George Mason University achieves scalable campus security with acre security access control

How we created a flexible and reliable access control solution that scales with George Mason University’s ambitions

George Mason University, a large public university with over 170 buildings across five campuses, faced a significant challenge with its outdated access control system, which was not scalable or user-friendly. Amidst a large-scale construction project, the university needed a robust security solution from a vendor like acre security that could integrate with its existing hardware and support future growth.

acre security implemented a flexible, on-premises access control system that seamlessly integrated the university's legacy hardware with new technology from partners like Assa Abloy and Allegion. The solution, which simplified staff training and minimized licensing fees, resulted in a highly scalable system that provides robust security across the campus. The university was particularly pleased with the low total cost of operation and the smooth integration process, achieving its goal of delivering peace of mind to students and parents.
