Background: A smart campus is an educational institution that uses Internet of things (IoT) devices, sensors, data analytics and other various digital technologies to improve various aspects of campus life such as security, learning experiences, communication etc to create a more connected and efficient campus environment. The quest of excellence in higher education has become inseparably intertwined with the implementation of smart campus solutions as universities and colleges work to develop more connected, intelligent, and responsive settings. The way educational institutions work has changed as a result of the integration of cutting-edge technologies and data-driven solutions, fostering creativity, efficiency, and better learning experiences. Studies have proposed the concept of a smart campus framework and investigated the effect of its implementation on the campus However, one of the often-overlooked aspects while talking about security in a smart campus is the implementation of physical security features Hence, this study bridges the gap Aim: The aim of this study is to enhance a conceptual framework of Smart Campus by integrating Physical security features using IoT technology. Method: The study integrated physical security features into a smart governance module of Smart Campus by considering three (3) additional factors thus: Radio frequency identification (RFID), Smart lock and Surveilance camera that makes a total of seven (7) factors in the framework. Results: The integration of physical security features into smart governance module of the Smart Campus resulted in a robust smart campus framework that give an improved security system on campus thereby promoting a safe campus for all.
