Digital Signage

The University of Kansas digital signage network is a campus-wide service that supports the informational, promotional, and branding needs of the University, as well as individual schools, departments, and affiliate organizations.

Singular service powers all digital signage across the University of Kansas campus, creating a network of over 200 screens dedicated to providing geographically targeted information. 

There is a selection of standardized templates for our digital signage players. This offers a level of customization to fit a unit’s specific needs while maintaining a consistent and cohesive brand presence, across campus.

Below is an example of the most commonly used digital signage layout.

University of Kansas units, affiliates, and SILC-recognized student organizations can submit content for deployment on all screens programmed to receive the campus-wide playlist. Non-campus affiliated entities must work through Jayhawk Community Partners to submit content to the digital signage network.
