ACCESS CONTROL FUNDAMENTALS 3. Applying access control to different scenarios. Outcome 3.2
The learner will understand how a campus protects its area.
Key Question
How do campuses secure access to their areas?
Key Text
Depending on the nature of the campus, access will be a balance between the property itself and the buildings on it. Consider the difference between a liberal university and a military installation. The property may require fencing, patrols and entry and exit control with various types of alarms and surveillance with little security in the buildings themselves, or perhaps minimal security will be maintained at the perimeter of the property and focus will be placed on the buildings themselves. In the case of a shopping complex, perhaps neither the property nor the building perimeter may be extensively secured, with security being largely confined to certain office areas within the complex.
Lab
Discuss “zoning” of a campus.

ACCESS CONTROL FUNDAMENTALS 3. Applying access control to different scenarios. Outcome 3.3
The learner will understand how a large building protects its area.
Key Question
How is access to a building secured?
Key Text
Natural entrances such as doorways and windows are of primary concern. Not to be overlooked however are access points that may be gained via ducting, roofs or other unconventional openings into a building. Strict application of AC principles always depends on the size of the building, its strategic importance, how accessible it is ordinarily and how stringent one wants the access control to be.
