Revitalizing a Traditional Campus: Implementation of IoT-Enabled Smart Universities

Technology has become an indispensable part of contemporary society. The new vision of upcoming generations is the Internet of Things (IoT) which has created new interaction extents among individuals and the environment. IoT has permeated into higher education institutions; advancing the quality of teaching-learning experience and ability to customize environmental parameters. In this research, the status of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, ETSIDI campus, was explored based on the Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) in order to assess the status of facilities and unveil the corresponding solutions for possible enhancements. The smart campus development approach is pursuant to the occupant-based framework as a way to represent and analyze occupant state, mobility and movement in the campus through the IoT.
