A Case Study: Accessible, Fast, Charging, A Relief From Distraction & LBA (Low Battery Anxiety)

A University in London

One of England's most well-established universities in London's vibrant East End committed to high-quality teaching and research.

The University is one of the UK's leading research-focused higher education institutions, covering a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, law, medicine, and dentistry, as well as science and engineering.

The University has over 25,000 students, close to 4,500 members of staff, and annual revenue of nearly a half a billion dollars.

The Challenge:

Keeping students connected while on campus is a priority. Students and staff need access to their mobile devices to stay updated and communicate with each other.

To achieve this goal, the University wanted to allow students to charge their smartphones, tablets, and some PCs. The ChargeBox would also reduce distraction and concern of having a low battery and losing power before the end of the day and improve the overall on-campus experience.

The Solution:

ChargeBox has provided The University of London with 20 ChargeBox FAST stations across its campus, delivering installation and a total care support package.

The ChargeBox FAST is a free-standing, six locker station that charges smartphones, tablets, and some PCs. This station provides a world-class charging service that is stress-free, managed, and easy to use. It also brings unrivaled safety and security to its users.

Business Benefits:

ChargeBox charging stations reduce distraction and concern of having a low battery (students hunting for outlets), and students can stay connected while on campus. Having the ChargeBoxes in place led to increased student satisfaction, reduced the distraction of losing battery charge before the end of the day, and positively impacting the National Student Survey results.

The solution also increases staff productivity as they no longer have to deal with charging requests. ChargeBox also provides a secure and safe environment for students to charge their devices. This, in turn, reduces the uncontrolled use of sockets, resulting in health and safety risks on campus.

Finally, the stations reduce distracted engagements and provide an opportunity for the University (or a third party sponsor) to promote its brand via the vinyl wrap and the LCD panel. The unit is easy to install.
