Brookwood School Upgrades Entire Campus Communications Network with Multi-Purposed Digital Signage

Learn how Brookwood School modernized their bulletin boards and printed paper signage to rich and dynamic digital displays for schools across 14 screens throughout the school; cafeteria displays; concession stand menu boards; student-facing notification displays; and a state-of-the-art touch screen Athletic Hall of Fame display.

The Challenge

For decades, Brookwood School used traditional paper announcements taped to columns, lockers, and various bulletin boards. Daily, new signs were needed to be designed, updated, printed, and re-posted across the buildings. This process was time-extensive, expensive in printing costs, and required daily attention.

As a result, Brookwood School began searching for a cloud-based digital signage solution that could be easily updated and reliable while allowing for complete layout customization.

The Solution

After searching and signing up for multiple school digital signage trials and web-demos, Brookwood discovered NoviSign. Using Brookwood’s existing Chromeboxes, Brookwood was able to install NoviSign onto their devices and begin sending content to the displays across their campus.

From a main computer, Brookwood was able to create and control the content being displayed on each TV:

  • Daily school news and updates
  • Cafeteria lunch menus
  • Student and parent announcements
  • Athletes of the week with team photos
  • Google Slides with scrolling tickers and weather
  • Weekly school notifications
  • Custom welcome messages

Each display features specific messages to target specific audiences and grade levels. For example, Brookwood set-up specific announcements for Seniors, who have a digital signage display directly above their lockers hallway.

The results

WHands down, the Hall of Fame (HOF) touch screen display stole the show! When Brookwood had their grand opening of the HOF in 2019, a massive crowd gathered around the display searching for by year! Many users were taking pictures and videos of their HOF induction and state championship pages. This was a huge success and a great way to expand the HOF without needing square footage.

When it came to their concession stand and cafeteria menus, Brookwood can now make daily and weekly changes on the fly while creating a custom look that fits their school colors.

Testimonial

“NoviSign’s cloud-based platform lets us use and connects the existing Chrome devices that we had to our displays across our campus.
