Digital Signage

An intricate network of digital displays strategically placed across the campus in areas with many pedestrians.

Digitial Signage displays communicate with students, faculty, staff and visitors with the ability to automatically broadcast emergency alerts from the WVU Police Department in a timely manner.

These displays integrate existing forms of communication with additional information provided by key communicators from WVU colleges, schools and departments.

Our team handles all aspects of Digital Signage for WVU, from installation to maintenance to content management. These services are provided without cost, except for the cost of hardware at installation.

For questions about Digital Signage or support with graphics and displays, contact us InfoStations@mail.wvu.edu.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

In the event of an emergency, WVU Police Department sends a text message from the e2Campus system which in turn triggers an alert page on all Digital Signage across campus. This alert message will take precedence over all pages and will include an audible alert. It is required that all Digital Signage displays have the volume turned up in order for this alert to be heard.
