The Key Role in Digitizing the Lieven de Key Campus

In 2018, the housing association Lieven de Key faced the challenge of revolutionizing key management for over 2,000 international student apartments. The campus, which includes buildings ranging from historic to brand-new, required a modern solution to enhance efficiency and minimize administrative workload.

Challenges of the Lieven de Key Campus

The Lieven de Key Campus spans several buildings, ranging from 200 years old to just 6 months old. The high annual turnover rate of 300% presented additional challenges for management. A digital solution was necessary to streamline and modernize the complex key and access management process.

GuestCompass: Optimizing with Sustainable Solutions

GuestCompass has proven to be a key partner in the campus's digital transformation. Our custom-designed app provides all essential information about the housing complex and the surrounding environment. By integrating our solution, we enabled students to have centralized access via their smartphones, which serve as keys for their apartment, the building, and common areas. This integration significantly simplified access for students and improved administrative efficiency.

Integration of iLOQ: Supporting the Digitization

Alongside the introduction of GuestCompass, iLOQ's digital locking technology was implemented. This technology allowed the transition from managing 12,000 key transfers and 14,000 physical keys to a digital and keyless solution. The implementation required no modifications to the 2,000 doors, making the integration both efficient and cost-effective.

Extensions and Complete Digitization

By the end of 2022, the digital system was extended to an additional 1,249 technical doors, enabling comprehensive integration for 71 partners and 543 installers. In 2023, the digitization was completed with the update of locks on 156 student mailboxes. These measures resulted in a fully digital campus.

Benefits of Digitization for the Lieven de Key Campus

The partnership between GuestCompass and iLOQ has led to significant improvements:

• Increased Security: Modern digital locking technology has enhanced security across the campus.
• Reduced Administrative Effort: The shift to digital solutions has significantly lowered administrative and operational costs.
• Optimized User Experience: The GuestCompass app provides students with a user-friendly and efficient way to manage their access.

Project Success Story

The digitization of the Lieven de Key Campus by GuestCompass, in synergy with iLOQ's locking technology, represents a successful step towards modernizing campus management. The integration has significantly improved both administrative efficiency and the user experience for students.
