From traditional to a smart campus: a framework sketch for King Abdulaziz University female campus

Hind Albadi, Sarah Alshami

Technology has completely enhanced how we live our lives and how people learn, work, and shop. Higher Education institutions are not immune to these challenges, they must keep up with changes in technology and society or be left behind. King Abdulaziz University (KAU) works to close the gap between the expectations of society and the realities of how people learn. To do so, we must take a step back and critically assess where we are today. This study aims to propose a sketch of the I-campus. The smart campus sketch in this study aims to allow KAU to use smart technology with existing infrastructure to enhance learning, services, decision-making, and campus sustainability, among other things. This study proposes a smart campus sketch based on smart city concepts. This proposed project aims to preserve and enhance KAU's status as an institution of high-quality higher education that meets the aspirations of its community. Using the existing female campus map, the study believes that KAU could adopt all or some of the sketched smart campus criteria suggested in this study.
