Omnicharge at Glendale Community College, AZ
Glendale Community College (GCC), located in Arizona, faced significant challenges related to power accessibility due to the age of its buildings. Many of the college's facilities were not equipped with modern power solutions, limiting the ability to provide students and staff with necessary charging options. To address these challenges, GCC has been deploying Omnicharge Power Stations on its campus, providing a flexible and cost-effective solution for power accessibility.
Power Challenges and
Solution Selection
Before integrating Omnicharge, GCC struggled with limited access to power in key areas, especially in classrooms where multiple furniture layout options required versatile power solutions.
The college had explored other options, including undercarpet power solutions, but these were either too expensive or posed tripping hazards due to their design.
Omnicharge's mobile Power Stations, offering multiple charging options, were selected as the optimal solution. The Stations provided a flexible alternative that met the needs of various classroom layouts without requiring major construction.
Implementation and Impact
GCC deployed Omnicharge Power Stations in three key locations, including classrooms for its new bachelor's degree program in teacher education.
The Stations were particularly well-received by students, who appreciated the easy access to power for their devices during long class hours.
The wireless nature of the Stations allowed for seamless integration into the classrooms, accommodating different furniture layouts without the need for undercarpet power solutions.
Expansion and Future Plans
GCC is considering expanding the use of Omnicharge Power Stations to additional locations on campus.
The College recognizes the potential for further deployment, especially given the positive feedback from students and the cost-effectiveness of the solution compared to other power accessibility options.
Recommendations
GCC recommends Omnicharge Power Stations to other educational institutions facing similar challenges. The Stations provide a reliable, flexible, and cost-effective power solution that can be easily integrated into existing facilities.
Conclusion
The integration of Omnicharge Power Stations at Glendale Community College has significantly improved power accessibility for students and staff, addressing the challenges posed by the college's aging infrastructure. The success of the project has opened the door for potential expansion and provides valuable insights for other institutions with similar power limitations.
