The ideal scenario, IMO, would be something among the following:
1.) There's a keycard to access any door. There are no accessible ground-floor windows.
2.) An access log is kept, which can be cross-referenced to security feeds.
3.) Keycards can be individually disabled if lost/stolen.
This way, anytime there's an incident of unauthorized access, it'd be possible to trace who is responsible and address the issue. The same applies to doors that are left open, etc.
Where I went to college, the student ID doubled as an RFID keycard. It was both light and convenient.

RE: the bolded. No ground floor windows - interesting design concept. And doors that are left open - how do you control for doors that are propped open from the inside or opened from the inside? Or do you think a keycard should be used to open any door in either direction (ingress and egress)?
What you are proposing sounds like a prison.
The human element is the bottom line, as Dee, Titchou, others and myself have stated.
