The HTW Chur is the only college in the Canton of Grisons (Switzerland) at which it is possible to study economics and technology.  The college specializes in the fields of tourism, entrepreneurship, telecommunications, electrical engineering, building, design and information science.

With the contactless LEGIC smart card for students, professors, employees, guests and visitors, the HTW Chur is emphasizing its innovation and securing its reputation for being up to date.  It is possible to handle many different functions in parallel.  Personal contactless identification is used to open the 800 lockers.  Since the HTW Chur requires notebook PCs for some courses, it provides students with their personal secure lockers in which to keep their valuable equipment.  The student ID is also used for payment transactions in the canteens, in the seven vending machines situated at various locations around the campus and for copying and printing study documents.

The comprehensive solution that LEGIC's partners EVIS AG and Kaba AG have realized along with other suppliers has been tailored to the specific requirements of the HTW Chur.  Thanks to the extendable functionality, it will be possible to integrate additional functions into the card in future.
