Warren Towers Digital Signage

 Boston University currently has poster cases at 700 Commonwealth Avenue to promote events and programming to the community. Paper posters:  Are costly for campus groups to produce;  Limit the number of groups the University can support at one time; and  Are outdated and inflexible.  Replacing static cases with digital displays streamlines design and allows access to more student and University groups.  Displays will promote events on‐campus and other information specific to BU only; these will not be used for advertising.  Benefits include cost‐savings, improved sustainability through elimination of print production, and the ability to post new information more frequently.  Size is a direct replacement of the current cases, with 12 monitors in total replacing the existing 12 cases measuring 6’ x 4’‐6 ¾”.  Goal is to make no changes to the façade of the building with this update.
