University of Westminster
A striking video wall solution for displaying student work and presentations
Pioneers since 1838
University of Westminster started out 180 years ago as the first polytechnic in London and one of the first in the UK, established to educate the working people of London. Today they continue to build on this reputation, helping students from a variety of backgrounds to realise their full potential. They have always strived to create offerings that respond imaginatively to the varied needs and aspirations of their diverse audiences, and have a firm and historic commitment to equality and diversity, building an environment that is welcoming and inclusive for all students and colleagues.
The Challenge
SThe University of Westminster contacted Scan’s Digital Signage team to assist them in designing and installing a multiple video wall solution to display relevant informative in their newly built fabrication lab. It would also have the feature to display from presenters’ laptops during presentations.
To have an easy to use system that would allow a seamless workflow and that could be used by all members of staff that provided an easy way to broadcast relevant information that would work as a way of communication with students and other users of the lab.
The Solution
To tackle these requirements, Scan installed our Userful Video Wall solution. This solution consisted of three video walls split over two rooms in the newly built fabrication lab, creating large canvases that allow students, teachers and visitors to view content on the screens no matter where they were in the room, including educational, ‘how to’ videos, presentational videos and photographs of student work
These screens are used as a means of communication and support for workshops that we run, presentations.
The Results
Scan delivered a project seamlessly and professionally to the highest standard that was expected. When needed, Scan solved our issues over the phone or email and made sure we have their full attention when needed.
The system helps teachers to communicate and educate, taking essential time and effort off them when it is really needed.
Testimonial
