Duke Kunshan University

introduction

Duke Kunshan University (DKU) in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China, is a joint venture between Duke University and Wuhan University, with support from Kunshan Municipal Government. DKU is a world-class liberal arts university that offers 14 undergraduate majors and five graduate programs across various disciplines. To meet growing educational demands, DKU is expanding the campus, improving functionality and educational quality, and developing a ‘smart’ campus that will better serve its students and faculty.

Case Study: Duke Kunshan University
 
"The Crestron Engineering team has been incredibly professional, working closely with us to fine-tune the equipment for our various teaching needs."
William Wan
Chief IT Engineer,
Duke Kunshan University

the challenge

What distinguishes DKU from other institutions is the absence of a single, comprehensive teaching building. Instead, teaching facilities are spread across various buildings. This, coupled with the diverse room types and numerous audio-visual products, presents a considerable challenge in implementing a fully IP-based architecture.

the solution

To meet its audio-visual needs, DKU adopted the Crestron DM NVX® AV-over-IP platform along with the Crestron Visual Control VC-4 system. These advanced solutions enable a seamless transition to a fully IP-based AV infrastructure, allowing for centralized management of all classroom and spaces through a web-based interface. This network-centric foundation empowers the university to efficiently manage and allocate resources from a central hub, effectively supporting its academic, administrative, and conferencing needs.

the technology

The construction project includes 22 buildings and requires a comprehensive distributed audio-visual system due to the size of the campus. Consequently, over 900 Crestron’s DM NVX® AV-over-IP technology units have been installed to ensure seamless connectivity across different room types and locations while supporting multiple signal formats.

Crestron DM NVX technology delivers high-quality audio and video and is perfect for educational purposes since it ensures that content is presented clearly. Its distributed architecture efficiently routes audiovisual signals to any space without extra wiring, allowing for easy adjustments for future input and output devices. In addition to DM NVX technology, Crestron controls help manage classrooms equipped with projectors, touchscreen displays, wireless microphones, ceiling microphones, recording equipment, cameras, and other tools that enhance local, remote, and interactive learning.

 
"During the entire process, from system design and equipment delivery to system tuning, the crestron team was highly involved, working closely with the design firm and integrators. They offered valuable insights and suggestions.”"
William Wan
Chief IT Engineer,
Duke Kunshan University

To create a ‘smart’ campus with an IT-driven design, DKU has adopted Crestron VC-4 virtual control system instead of traditional central control systems. This system is hosted on the university’s servers, making it way to manage all classrooms and spaces through a user-friendly web interface. With the Crestron Fusion® monitoring and scheduling cloud platform, users can control thousands of device across the campus from a single management platform, removing the need to visit each space and significantly improving the efficiency of IT operations staff. Environmental elements like lighting and curtains can be adjusted for different teaching scenarios. In remote teaching situations, classrooms cameras can switch between front and rear views to capture both students and instructors, enabling high-quality interactive remote learning.

the results

At DKU, the implementation of DM NVX technology has transformed both academic and athletic experience on campus. Beyond enhancing classroom environments, this cutting-edge technology extends to sports facilities, providing audio-visual support that enriches students’ athletic engagements. For instance, the training center boasts sound systems, LED screens, microphones, and signal interfaces, allowing for dynamic training sessions that merge music and visual effect, adding a vibrant dimension to extracurricular activities.

The integration of Crestron’s technology has significantly improved the functionality of classroom spaces, self-study areas, and extracurricular venues, resulting in a better experience for students and educators alike. With over 900 DM NVX devices installed across the campus, the university enjoys superior audio and video transmission throughout its facilities. Additionally, 77 classrooms have been equipped with the VC-4 system, which is seamlessly integrated into the backend infrastructure to ensure reliable operation in the educational environment.
