There’s a new way to find out what’s happening at UFV. The Digital Signage Project is underway, connecting UFV campuses with a central form of communication. Twenty-seven linked TV displays are currently placed at key locations on the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses, with ten more coming in summer, including displays in Hope, Mission, and Clearbrook to provide pertinent information at a glance. Content ranging from program dates to weather and event opportunities can be uploaded by host departments, while university-wide messaging can be remotely transmitted during emergency situations, including campus closures.
The next phase of the project, beginning April 2024, could also include touchscreen solutions in high traffic areas, helping students navigate from the Office of the Registrar to the library or the campus card office. While not replacing in-person interaction, future touchscreens could offer helpful information to students after hours.
If you’re interested in digital signage for your department, submit a Digital Signage Procurement Request through the IT Service Desk portal.
