Modern universities and colleges often span several buildings and extensive areas. In the first few weeks, new students lose valuable time searching for lecture rooms, miss lectures or arrive too late. International students also face language barriers. At the same time, lecturers and administrative staff spend time giving directions, while facility management often first has to determine the exact location in distributed building complexes when reporting faults. Short-term room changes regularly lead to confusion, and barrier-free access is often difficult to find.
The platform connects all campus areas to a consistent navigation system. Students can safely find lecture halls, seminar rooms, libraries, canteens and administration buildings. The system runs seamlessly through indoor and outdoor areas across the entire campus. Especially in the critical first weeks of the semester, navigation helps new students find their way around quickly and arrive on time.
QR-based LinkHubs in auditoriums and seminar rooms replace static notices and provide dynamic information. Students scan the code and receive current timetables, room occupancy or information about room changes. In the event of short-term transfers, the information is updated centrally and is immediately available. The administration maintains all content via a central platform without having to exchange physical notices.
With increasing international study programs and Erasmus exchanges, multilingualism is becoming a necessity. The navigation supports various languages and automatically adapts to the device settings. International students find their way around from day one without having to rely on translation assistance. Visiting lecturers and visitors also benefit from the multilingual route to venues and administrative areas.
Accessibility is essential for an inclusive educational environment. The system automatically calculates wheelchair-accessible routes to all classrooms and campus facilities. Elevators are prioritized, stairs avoided and barrier-free entrances are displayed. Students with mobility restrictions can navigate on their own and are not dependent on constant help. The platform helps educational institutions meet legal accessibility requirements.
