Electrical Installation & Concepts for Educational Facilities
THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION STARTS NOW
The digitalization of schools and classrooms is a key topic – from interactive learning materials to digital technology such as tablets, whiteboards, and Wi-Fi. However, many educational institutions are not yet fully prepared: Where should essential devices be placed, and how can they be protected from unauthorized access?
Classrooms often lack dedicated space for technical equipment, and existing infrastructure does not meet the demands of modern teaching and learning methods. Moreover, digitalization is driving not only education itself but also technical building infrastructure (TBE) – from room automation to media technology.
At Wieland, we have the solution: With well-designed, decentralized concepts, we create space for technology, enable seamless integration, and prepare educational institutions for the challenges of the future.
"Not 'back to basics,' but 'forward to basics' – that is the guiding principle for digital education. The Digital Pact 2.0 and forward-thinking solutions like the installation column pave the way for a modern learning environment where digital technology is utilized to its full potential."
Tobias Hennemann, Product Manager Distribution Boxes
