SMART CAMPUS INITIATIVE

CUHK’s Initiation of a Smart Campus

The ‘smartness’ of a campus

is defined by its capacity to exploit information and communications technology (ICT) to optimize operational efficiency and enable new experiences among different stakeholders, including staff, students and alumni.

A smart campus

should be people-centred, offering solutions built upon the needs of the stakeholders for application in two main areas:

  1. Campus buildings and environment
  2. Personal and collective campus experience
