Campus wayfinding screens for event nights and new visitors
Big campuses confuse first-time visitors, especially at night when the usual doors are locked. A screen at the entrance can point people to tonight’s concert, the conference rooms or the testing site, and change the directions for each event.

Why it matters
Visitors get lost on the way to the event
Families arrive for conferences or a concert and wander hallways looking for the right room. Staff end up standing at intersections giving directions. Paper arrows taped to the wall work for one night and then stay up for weeks.
Ideas for Campus Wayfinding
Directions for each event
Show the event name, the room and a simple arrow or route, like Concert, Auditorium, down the hall to the left.
A simple campus map
Add a clean map image or PDF with the main entrances, gym, auditorium and offices marked.
Conference night room list
List teachers by room or wing so parents can find them without asking at the door.
Accessible routes
Point out the elevator, ramp and accessible entrance for guests who need them.
Restrooms and concessions
On game nights, show where the restrooms and the concession stand are.
Testing and polling site signs
When your building hosts outside testing or an election, show which door and room to use.
How it works with Digital Signage
Campus Wayfinding, step by step.
Three steps
Make a map once
Upload a campus map image or PDF, or build one in Google Slides, and keep it on the timeline as a standing item.
Add directions per event
Create a slide for each event with its room and route, set to start that afternoon and end that night.
Hide maps until needed
Keep the conference night and graduation versions hidden between events and bring them back next time.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.
Best practices
Tips to get it right.
Campus Wayfinding tips
Use names people know
Say Main Gym or Room 204, not the building codes staff use.
Show one route at a time
A screen that lists every room helps no one. Lead with tonight’s destination.
Match the arrows to the spot
Directions depend on where the screen hangs, so make one version for each screen location.
Walk the route yourself
Before the event, follow the directions from the screen to the room and fix anything confusing.
