For resellers and systems integrators working with educational facilities, the opportunities for networked commercial display installations extend far beyond the classroom. Because commercial displays offer a variety of innovative form factors and interactive functions, there are plenty of places across most campuses where digital signage can grab attention and improve day-to-day operations.

Campus Entrance

Digital signage can keep students, their families and faculty informed and updated with upcoming events, closures and more. Outdoor and semi-outdoor displays plus window-facing indoor displays enhance the school’s image and increase engagement year-round.

Lobby/Reception

Video walls and UHD interactive displays can greet visitors with a breathtaking view and show them the way around. From single-map displays to touch screens with apps for off-loading directions, wayfinding solutions can be as simple or as complex as needed.

Hallways and Classroom Entrances

Stretched and razor-thin displays in the hallways can provide pertinent information before class, campus news and announcements, and instant alerts with instructions in case of emergency. Common-area digital signage increases student/faculty/visitor awareness and improves administrative effectiveness.

Administrative Office

UHD multi-touch signage enables the office to be highly organized, efficiently separating information for students and faculty via kiosk. Easy centralized content management ensures a quick response to daily requests, updates and alerts.

Library

Stretched and standard digital signage inside and outside the library can increase student foot traffic and facilitate management of resources and real-time content. Study areas equipped with cloud-based zero client virtual computers ensure that online research is secure.

Auditorium/Lecture Hall

Captivating 4K UHD video walls provide mega-screen lesson support and entertainment with outstanding image quality and can also be used to promote upcoming events. Our online Video Wall Configurator makes it easy to visualize the best solution for the space.

Student Lounge

Commercial-grade TVs provide UHD entertainment with the advantages of durability, long-term reliability, real-time messaging, and a lockout feature to prevent unauthorized access to menu settings and feature sets.

Conference Room

Educational facilities can create automated videoconferencing rooms for tele-education using Crestron Connected® certified and Cisco Spark® Room Kit compatible displays, and easily communicate with students and schools worldwide.

Cafeteria

Schools can keep cafeteria lines moving via stretched displays and menu boards showing daily specials, nutritional information and high-resolution images to whet appetites. Content can be quickly updated from a central location.

Court and Field

Massive indoor and outdoor direct-view LED displays can provide a state-of-the-art college sports experience for the court and field.
