Narrative

The Boca Library is one of the most frequented buildings on the FAU Campus. When students and faculty first walk into the building they are faced with a myriad of choices of which direction to follow, while often looking for a certain study room, or classroom.

We propose installing an interactive wayfinding kiosk (similar to what is in use in other campus buildings such as Engineering East) near the entrance to the library that will serve multiple purposes and help our students get directions and answers quickly. The kiosk would be centrally located on the first floor and would be one of the first things the students encounter when walking into the library. The kiosk could also inform students of events, workshops, classes, study room availability and more. 

Facilities
We will need power and data lines run to the kiosk
