Campus Communication That Reflects the Energy of the School
How L Squared helped Lakefield College use digital signage to improve student engagement, visitor communication, and school branding.
Lakefield College School is one of Canada’s oldest and most prestigious private co-ed boarding schools. Located on a 155-acre waterfront campus in Central Ontario, the school is known for its outdoor-focused curriculum, student participation, rich history, and global alumni network.
The school needed a better way to communicate the energy, accomplishments, activities, and culture of campus life. Paper bulletin boards and email were not creating the desired level of engagement among students, visitors, and prospective families.
L Squared provided a centralized digital signage network that allowed staff and students to share timely, visual, and engaging content across high-traffic campus areas.
Challenge & Solution
Lakefield College wanted to improve communication while building energy, morale, safety, and school pride. Traditional methods were static, easy to overlook, and difficult to synchronize across campus.
L Squared recommended a digital signage network using screens in key high-traffic areas throughout both newer and older sections of the facility. The system made it easier to publish student and faculty-designed content, schedule announcements, and display rich media that reflected the life of the school.
A tiered administration system allowed approved users to manage content while maintaining oversight and consistency.
The Technology
The solution included:
- Centralized digital signage network
- High-resolution 46-inch LED displays
- Static and rich media content support
- Scheduling and content management tools
- Tiered administrator access
- Displays placed in high-traffic student and visitor areas
Implementation
L Squared worked with Lakefield College to identify high-impact locations where digital signage would reach students, visitors, parents, and prospective families. Screens were deployed throughout key areas of the campus, giving the school a more visual and synchronized communication channel.
The platform allowed staff and students to create and share content, including upcoming events, school news, achievements, activity highlights, and visitor-facing information.
Impact
The digital signage network helped Lakefield College improve communication, visibility, and engagement across campus.
The impact included:
- More efficient communication with students
- Better visitor and parent awareness of school events and activities
- Increased visibility for student achievements and campus culture
- A stronger branding tool for prospective families
- Easier scheduling of static and rich media content
- A more modern alternative to bulletin boards and email-only communication
Digital signage became more than an announcement tool. It became a way to reflect the personality, energy, and values of the school.
