Emergency Digital Signage
on a Connected Campus

Connected Campus: How Davenport University Modernized Student Communication with AIScreen

The Challenge

Davenport University students were overlooking email, bulletin boards went stale, and staff on several campuses spent hours swapping printed flyers, so important updates still slipped past students.
 

The Solution

With emergency digital signage on every floor of key buildings, including 20+ screens on the Grand Rapids campus, real-time emergency alerts and weather updates share the screens with campus news. The override and full-screen takeover features delivered 100% visibility for campus-wide emergency alerts.
 
AIScreen helped us become more present, more responsive, and more unified. It became part of the university’s voice.

Emergency Digital Signage That Quickly Shows Alerts From Your Everyday Apps

Microsoft Teams

The Microsoft Teams app brings the channels, alerts and announcements your staff already follow onto shared screens around the building. A safety note repeated on every floor reaches staff who rarely open Teams on a laptop, so more people see it and know how to stay safe.

Scrolling Strip

Run a scrolling ticker with a detailed, situation-specific safety notice that tells people what to do, without interrupting the main content. Edit the text at any moment and the change reaches every connected screen on campus, high-traffic areas included.

Weather

The Weather app shows real-time forecasts for up to three cities or for each screen’s own location. On screens in common areas and noisy spaces where announcements are hard to hear, vital weather information stays in front of everyone, so people can plan ahead and lower their risk.

Emergency Digital Signage for Each Phase of Emergency Management

AIScreen is more than a tool for the moment an incident hits. Screens carry communication through each of the four emergency management phases, which turns your emergency messaging into a dependable part of a wider crisis communication strategy.

Wall screen listing emergency procedures, evacuation route and assembly point at a facility entrance

Prevent

Post proactive safety tips and site guidelines on screens to cut risk and keep people aware of possible hazards long before anything happens.

Hallway screen announcing a fire drill in progress and directing students to the gathering point

Prepare

Give viewers critical information with regular updates, drill notices and emergency procedure reminders, so everyone is ready if a situation arises.

Corridor screen showing an emergency alert while employees walk to the exit

Respond

When an incident starts, screens show real-time emergency messages and clear instructions that guide students, faculty and staff to safety.

Lobby waiting area screen back on its regular weather forecast and news headlines

Recover

Once the danger has passed, share the all-clear, recovery updates and where to find support, helping everyone get back to normal with confidence.

Emergency Digital Signage FAQs

What is emergency alert digital signage?

Emergency alert digital signage is a network of screens that plays everyday content and switches to a full-screen emergency alert when an incident happens. With AIScreen, the alert overrides the scheduled playlist on the screens you choose, and you switch them back to regular content from the same dashboard once the situation is over.

How fast can an alert reach every screen?

An alert reaches every connected screen in real time. AIScreen sends updates remotely from one cloud dashboard as soon as you publish them, whether the message is a lockdown notice, a severe weather warning or an evacuation instruction.

Can alerts be targeted to specific areas?

Alerts can be targeted to specific areas. When you publish an alert, you choose the screens it plays on, so the message can go to one building, one floor or every location in your account.

What content should emergency screens show normally?

Emergency screens normally show everyday content such as announcements, wayfinding, dashboards and the weather, which keeps them useful and keeps people in the habit of looking at them. Playlists and schedules run on their own until an alert takes over.

Where is emergency signage most valuable?

Emergency signage is most valuable wherever many people need the same instruction at once, such as schools and university campuses, hospitals, corporate offices, manufacturing plants and government buildings.

Who can trigger an alert?

Only the people you authorize can trigger an alert. AIScreen provides role-based SSO access control to manage user permissions, and approval workflows add a review step before content goes live on your screens.

How does AIScreen support emergency messaging?

AIScreen supports emergency messaging with emergency alert templates you can prepare in AIScreen Aura ahead of time, a full-screen override on the screens you choose, and real-time updates from one cloud dashboard. Remote device management also raises an alert when a screen fails or goes offline, so you can fix it before an emergency.
