Lonestar State College

• Industry: Education / Higher Education
• Product: Freestanding Kiosk with cell phone charging
• Deployment: 7 kiosks
• Software: Lobby Attendant + EventsNOW

Background

Lone Star College wanted to improve the student and visitor experience on campus. Advanced Kiosks worked with the college to build a custom cell phone charging tray for seven Freestanding Kiosks, and to provide a go-to station for local information, event promotion, and college updates using Lobby Attendant software integrated with EventsNOW.

Business Challenge

• The college wanted a single station that served students, faculty, and visitors
• Students needed a convenient place to charge phones and mobile devices on campus
• The campus needed a way to raise awareness of events, maps, and directory information
• Information had to stay useful even while a student’s phone was charging at the kiosk

Solutions Delivered

Advanced Kiosks deployed seven Freestanding Kiosks with a custom cell phone charging tray, paired with Lobby Attendant software integrated with EventsNOW.

The kiosks let users:

• Charge cell phones and mobile devices while they browse
• View campus maps, wayfinding, directories, and event listings
• Scan a QR code through EventsNOW to keep browsing college events on their phone, even while it charges at the kiosk

Outcome

The kiosks give Lone Star College a practical, high-traffic touchpoint that draws students in with phone charging and keeps them engaged with campus maps, directories, and events. The EventsNOW QR handoff is the clever part, students can grab event listings on their own phone and keep browsing on the go, so the engagement doesn’t end when they walk away.

For the college, the result is higher awareness of campus events and a genuinely useful amenity for students, faculty, and visitors, one that improves engagement across the whole campus community.
