Digital Kiosks for Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School
The Challenge: To Quickly and Effectively Communicate with a Diverse Campus of Students
As one of Asia’s most forward-looking graduate schools, Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (TSIGS) faced a modern education dilemma: how to meaningfully connect with a diverse and constantly moving campus community.
With thousands of students, faculty staff, and visiting scholars navigating a sprawling campus, TSIGS struggled with outdated information delivery systems. The school was still getting by with static boards, printed notices, and fragmented communication channels that couldn’t keep up with real-time needs. This led to confusion over schedules, missed announcements, overworked administrative staff answering repetitive questions, and inconsistent engagement with campus life activities.
The school needed a versatile, technology-driven approach that matched its international brand and academic excellence - one that could unify messaging and enhance daily interactions without disrupting its vibrant campus environment.
Project Details
Client: Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (TSIGS)
Industry: Higher Education / Research Institution
Location: Shenzhen Campus
Product Used: Digital Kiosk
The Solution: Customized Quanstar Digital Kiosks
To address these challenges, TSIGS partnered with Quanstar to deploy a network of over 20 digital kiosks featuring 65” screens and Android 11 systems. The digital guides were distributed strategically across the campus.
Built for durability, visibility, and ease of use, these kiosks serve as dynamic communication hubs - blending digital signage, interactive wayfinding, and real-time information delivery in one elegant solution.
From the main entrance to academic buildings, student centers, and event spaces, these automated concierges have become trusted touchpoints for:
Real-time schedules and class updates - replacing printed posters with instant digital announcements.
Interactive campus maps and directions - helping new students and visitors find their way effortlessly.
Event promotion and engagement - spotlighting lectures, workshops, cultural activities, and student initiatives.
Emergency alerts and safety information - delivering crucial messages promptly when needed.
By combining hardware designed for the rigors of high-traffic academic environments with flexible content management software, our digital kiosks gave TSIGS the technological backbone it needed to communicate with clarity and confidence. The mere presence of an automated attendant in key areas of the school has transformed campus life for everyone.
The Result: The Free Flow of Vital Information Across the Campus
The impact of the digital concierge project has been immediate and meaningful:
Enhanced Communication Efficiency: Students and staff now access up-to-date information instantly, eliminating confusion over schedule changes or lost printed notices.
Improved Campus Navigation: New and returning students alike report simplified wayfinding and better orientation across multiple buildings and facilities.
Increased Engagement: Events and activities now enjoy higher visibility and attendance, strengthening campus culture.
Administrative Productivity: Routine information queries dropped significantly, freeing administrative teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
Reinforced Institutional Identity: The sleek, easy-to-use automated kiosks reflect the school’s commitment to innovation, reinforcing its standing as a leader in global higher education.
With these digital kiosks in place, Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School has set a new standard for how modern campuses communicate, engage, and inspire — creating a smarter, more connected space for the entire university community.
