With the re-opening of the Abbey Building Lincoln College, Lincoln College was expanding. A solution was needed to improve internal communication between 18,500 students and staff, to promote the College services and social activities.
Like many educational establishments, Lincoln College had used traditional media to publicize important events. However traditional media is expensive to reproduce, static, and difficult to monitor. With many students travelling a long way to attend the college, it was vital to ensure important communications were visible and easily update-able.
The new digital signage has allowed Lincoln College to schedule bespoke media through strategically placed digital screens. The information shown is reflective of the diverse events expected at a large educational establishment. Social events, deadlines and opportunities are all shown alongside relevant digital communications. Lincoln College are also able to market its own services and social events that are vital to support the college.
Content distribution can be set up independently of each other so that each screen on the premises shows the most relevant information to a particular audience at a given time. This information can be refreshed from any device without any downtime on the screens during the updates. For example, the refectory staff are able to update prices and relevant information locally.
Should Lincoln College need to welcome a visitor, all scheduled broadcasts can be interrupted and replaced with a personalized welcome greeting.
“Implementing this technology has indeed added measurable value to Lincoln College. As you know the opening of Abbey Building was a very prestigious and important event for us. Our VIP guest was very impressed with the screens and the messages we were running on them, he even liked the picture of himself we put on "
