The University community will now be able to receive campus information with the help of 21 flat screen digital signs installed to provide a variety of content and information.
Currently, the screens are located in Gordinier Hall, Caputo Hall, Boyer Building, Ganser Library, Gerhart Hall and the Student Memorial Center (SMC). They are being used to promote a variety of topics ranging from digital menu boards, campus weather and news, conference/dining information, employee information, library information and a digital marquee for events.
“In the future, these screens will not only be an invaluable source for information about what is going on at Millersville, but they will also be incorporated into the Emergency Messaging System, giving another media outlet for important messages to the campus community,” said Robert Sempsey, computer operations manager for Student Services, Inc. (SSI).
In Boyer, one screen is a touch screen with a people finder for the building, along with campus events, a weather center and an interactive campus map. There are currently three screens in the open areas of the SMC, and when the renovation is complete, there will be a total of four screens for weather and news, a digital marquee at the ticket window, six in the Galley and 10 smaller screens in the meeting rooms for building scheduling information.
SSI has also been working with campus organizations and departments to decrease the amount of paper used for advertisements and to promote the new digital signage. Departments and groups on campus who want to use the new screens can contact SSI at thespot@ssi.millersville.edu or they can submit advertisements for events by visiting www.studentservicesinc.com/the-spot.
