Case Study: Northwestern University achieves a cutting-edge, highly engaging student recruitment environment with Planar Systems' Planar Mosaic and Clarity Matrix video walls

Northwestern University - Customer Case Study

Northwestern University sought a more engaging way to showcase campus life and support undergraduate recruitment at its new Segal Visitors Center after large 90-inch monitors proved uninspiring. To elevate the visitor experience and better reflect the university’s innovation, Northwestern University selected Planar Systems’ display solutions, installing a Planar Mosaic Architectural Video Wall and a Clarity Matrix MultiTouch LCD Video Wall System.

Planar Systems implemented an artistic Mosaic array (multiple 55", 46" and 22" tiles showing a 16‑minute narrative) alongside a 20' x 6' Clarity Matrix MultiTouch wall with over 160 interactive stories and up to 32 simultaneous touch points. The installation off‑boards hardware for easier servicing and blends with the architecture; it has transformed the recruiting environment, generated “overwhelmingly positive” visitor reactions, elevated recruiting efforts, and was duplicated at Northwestern’s San Francisco campus as proof of measurable success.
