People-Centric Smart Campus

Many universities aspire to make their campus smart. However, many smart campus projects are technology driven. Consequently, smart campus solutions may not meet the needs of the campus people nor match their desires. As a result, some solutions may not achieve high acceptance and satisfaction among the target people. This paper highlights the importance of the people-centric smart campus concept through applying it at the St Lucia campus of the University Queensland, which is already a smart campus, to identify the remaining needs of the campus community. The identified needs improvement the campus map to be interactive and more useful to locate places effectively on it, providing visualization of the crowd level in the campus libraries and stress detection to reduce it.
