Help students, staff and visitors stay informed with a digital signage platform that simplifies communication across buildings, departments and campuses.
From lecture halls and libraries to student unions, catering spaces and outdoor areas, digital signage gives universities a powerful way to share important information where students and staff need it most.
"We've been using NowSignage since 2021 and been consistently impressed, recommending them to others exploring new signage solutions. We initially expected to have to provide ongoing training and support across departments, but our users have found the system intuitive and simple to use."
Mark Sargison, Assistant Director (LIS)
The University of Chester runs 100+ digital signage screens across its Chester, Warrington and Birkenhead campuses.

What is digital signage for universities?
Digital signage for universities is a network of screens used across campus to share information with students, staff and visitors. It replaces static posters and noticeboards with digital displays that can be updated instantly from one central platform, covering everything from lecture halls and libraries to student unions and outdoor spaces.
How is digital signage used in higher education?
Universities and colleges use digital signage for student communications, campus updates, wayfinding and navigation, event promotion, catering menus and live streaming of events like graduations and open days. It gives institutions a single way to deliver relevant information across multiple buildings and campuses.
How much does digital signage for a university cost?
The cost of campus digital signage depends on the number of screens, the hardware you already have and the content management platform you choose. Cloud-based platforms like NowSignage let you start with a small number of screens and scale up, so you only pay for the network size you need. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
What hardware do I need for campus digital signage?
You need screens or displays, a media player or compatible operating system to run the content, and a content management system to control what appears. A flexible platform works across a wide range of screens and operating systems, so most institutions can use existing hardware rather than buying everything new.
How do you manage digital signage across multiple campuses?
A cloud-based content management system lets you control every screen across multiple sites from one place. You can schedule content centrally, give individual departments permission to manage their own screens, and scale the network from a handful of displays to several hundred as your campuses grow.
What is the best digital signage software for education?
The best digital signage software for education is easy for non-technical teams to use, scales across multiple campuses, supports permissions for different departments and works with a wide range of hardware. It should let communications, marketing, IT and faculty teams all manage content without specialist training.
Can digital signage help with campus wayfinding?
Yes. Digital wayfinding uses screens to give students, staff and visitors clear directions to buildings, facilities and events. It is easier to keep up to date than printed maps and can be changed instantly when rooms, events or layouts change.
