Pittsburgh-based Duquesne University has looked to benefit from the sustainable and financial benefits of Philips Tableaux ePaper displays, eliminating paper waste while enhancing communications to its 8,000 students.
A top ranked private Catholic university in Pittsburgh, it caters for 8,000 students from 80 countries and over 3,000 faculty and staff.
As the university continues to experience exponential growth, both in appeal and in size, its 49-acre (198,300 m2) campus overlooking downtown Pittsburgh continues to evolve, with the university placing a growing focus on enabling students with the latest technologies both in and outside of the classrooms.
Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and with a commitment to sustainable ecologies, the team researched the global ePaper market and turned to PPDS to seize the opportunities of the technology to replace the tired paper directories used around its campus.
Philips Tableaux ePaper displays were selected as the standout choice to achieve the team’s ambitions, with a fleet of 21x 32” 5150 and 25” 4050 Philips Tableaux installed in classrooms, study areas, and hallways.
the ePaper displays provide wayfinding and safety notices, cafeteria menus and event information, and more. This includes in areas with limited power sources. Running on an Android SoC, Philips Tableaux displays can be managed and updated remotely via a content management or remote display management system such as Philips Wave or as chosen by the team at Duquesne, content can be updated manually via a USB drive.
