Need for Clear Communication and Signage
University of Antwerp has made significant investments in Campus Drie Eiken in Wilrijk in recent years, including the construction of new classrooms and the renovation of research laboratories. While the research and educational infrastructure was in good condition, there was a need to upgrade social facilities such as the Komida student restaurant, sports infrastructure, and outdated student rooms. In a large building with high foot traffic, clear communication and signage are essential, which is why UAntwerp turned to us once again.
More Than 160 Screens Active on Centoview
These expansions include a tower and a low-rise building with student rooms, a spacious bicycle parking area, commercial spaces, and a large building with a sports hall—also accessible to external visitors—and an extended student restaurant with 400 additional seats. All displays were added to UAntwerp’s existing https://www.centoview.com/ screen network. The displays feature individual scenarios supplemented with content from a general playlist. Flexibility and clarity are key in this extensive network.
Thoughtful Environmental Policy via LG Hardware and Centoview Software
The construction project made a deliberate choice for environmentally friendly techniques, placing new buildings on an existing parking lot to preserve green space and compensating for felled trees elsewhere on campus. The choices for the Centoview CMS and https://digitopia.be/nl/nieuws/kies-je-best-voor-een-system-on-chip-soc-of-een-externe-player align with this approach: when no content is scheduled, the display backlights are effectively turned off.
Uniform Storytelling
The university has clear guidelines for internal and external communication, as outlined in their brand style guide. This provides a framework for all visual storytelling. As a result, the content is highly consistent and closely follows UAntwerp’s brand identity.
A Word of Thanks
The successful deployment of top-quality hardware and software highlights the importance of a well-designed communication system for modern educational institutions. The choice of these flexible, high-quality, and user-friendly building blocks offers a future-proof solution that meets all contemporary requirements.
