Security Plan Methodology

A new task force (see members below) has been formed to develop a comprehensive Campus Physical Security Plan to standardize K-State's approach to campus security.

Key components include security cameras, a new badge-access control system, physical key control and emergency response planning.

The task force’s work also includes:

  • Evaluating current physical security infrastructure.
  • Determining placement strategy, coverage areas and physical access point locations.
  • Planning the integration of security considerations for existing buildings.
  • Developing design and construction standards for new construction and extensive remodels incorporating these elements.
  • Developing policies, including onboarding, offboarding and administration, for key control and badge access systems.

Universitywide Badge-Access System

The task force's efforts to enhance campus security include the recent selection of a single badge-access control system that eventually will replace the access systems currently in place across all K-State campuses. The new system will enable the university to respond to emergency events more quickly and efficiently from a centralized location and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence.

The solution will roll out gradually across the university, first with new construction initiatives and facilities undergoing major renovations. Other existing access systems will transition once they reach the end of their lifecycles.
