Education Digital Signage
University of Illinois Digital Signage
The University of Illinois is using the FWi digital signage software for a campus-wide messaging solution. Although Four Winds Interactive delivers the same superior software capabilities with every purchase, the University of Illinois digital signage shows how smart implementation of these signs can expand student services, department resources, and revenue streams. At the campus rec center, for example, tiered advertising costs allow the available advertising space to serve registered student organizations, university departments, and outside businesses in a simultaneous and effective way. Meanwhile, other well-placed digital displays and signs help navigate the campus and its many buildings to make for efficient foot traffic and less anxious freshman and university visitors. Take a look at the many ways the university has used FWi's software capabilities to its advantage in preparation for a digital sign system at your own educational institution.
University of Illinois Digital Signage at the Illini Union
In the Illini Union, the university is primarily using the signage network for building mapping and event information. Large-format interactive displays showcase a building map that takes up three-quarters of the screen. The other regions on the screen are occupied by an interactive event list and campus advertising.
The interactive event list corresponds directly with the map to output walking paths, assisting users with their navigational inquiries. This is particularly helpful in the Illini Union due to the size of the building as well as the multiple in-house amenities available to students, visitors, and staff. With the Courtyard Café, Illini Union Bookstore, Illini Union Hotel and meeting room space, and several other venues, the Illini Union digital signage solution is a helpful addition to their communication efforts.
