Smart Campus Service Hub

Inspiration

Many educational institutions still rely on paperwork, physical notice boards, and manual administrative processes, resulting in delays, poor communication, and inefficient service management. Smart Campus Service Hub addresses these challenges by providing a centralized, secure, and role-based digital platform for students and administrators.


What it does

Smart Campus Service Hub is a role-based web application that digitizes campus operations.

Students can:

  • Submit service requests
  • Report infrastructure issues
  • Access a centralized notice board
  • Browse shared academic resources
  • Report and claim lost & found items
  • Track request status in real time

Administrators can:

  • Manage students
  • Review and resolve complaints
  • Publish notices
  • Handle lost & found claims
  • View analytics dashboards
  • Manage campus resources

How we built it

The project was developed using modern full-stack technologies.

Frontend:

  • Next.js (App Router)
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS

Backend:

  • Next.js API Routes
  • NextAuth Authentication
  • Prisma ORM

Database:

  • PostgreSQL

Deployment:

  • Vercel

The application uses secure JWT-based authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), Prisma ORM for database management, and responsive dashboards for both students and administrators.


Challenges we ran into

Some of the biggest challenges included:

  • Designing a scalable role-based authentication system
  • Implementing secure middleware protection
  • Managing complex Prisma database relationships
  • Building responsive dashboards for different user roles
  • Creating a smooth user experience while maintaining performance

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a complete role-based campus management platform
  • Designed separate dashboards for students and administrators
  • Implemented secure authentication and authorization
  • Developed multiple campus service modules within a single application
  • Successfully deployed the project on Vercel

What we learned

During development we improved our understanding of:

  • Next.js App Router
  • React Server Components
  • Prisma ORM
  • PostgreSQL
  • NextAuth Authentication
  • RBAC implementation
  • API development
  • Responsive UI design
  • Production deployment using Vercel

What's next for Smart Campus Service Hub

Future plans include:

  • AI-powered student assistant
  • QR-based attendance
  • Push notifications
