OVERVIEW
The Mohawk Student Association wanted to use digital signage to communicate student messages, community news and social events with the 11,500 full time students at the College. It was also important that the signage delivered a WOW factor for the students.
Gorrieās solution uses signage deployed in various rooms throughout the campus, including restaurants, common areas, main reception, a Pub/Entertainment venue and the campus store. The final solution was realized using twelve independent channels of content displayed on twenty-six LCD display panels including a 9 screen video wall that measures more than 12 feet across.
CHALLENGE

RESULTS
Gorrie provided design, component procurement and infrastructure installation of a digital media network.
