Fighting the cable clutter

Hochschule21 near Hamburg is fully committed to digitalisation and is solving an old problem along the way.

Especially in times of corona, many are feeling the benefits of digitalisation, including universities: although some are already offering a digital summer semester 2020 virtually via the internet, they still need to upgrade their physical seminar rooms.

A good example of how these can be turned into a digital learning environment is Hochschule21: future midwives and architects, for example, study at this centre for skilled workers in the Elbe-Weser region and the Hamburg metropolitan area. Whether video consultations for expectant mothers or coordinating plans with the client, the professions and the associated tools are becoming more digital: almost all degree programmes therefore work with new media and mobile devices, resulting in corresponding requirements for the environment and furniture. With this in mind, Schulte Elektrotechnik has equipped the seminar rooms at Hochschule21 with an intelligent technical infrastructure in collaboration with office furnishers carstensen büro & objekt.

The solution was to fit Schulte Elektrotechnik’s EVOline FlipTop Push to supply power and data to the students’ desks. The advantage is that even when the cables have been fitted, the configurable power module can be shut again and the desk still used. In order to solve the old problem with tangled cables and retain the flexibility of the furniture (and therefore, the seminar room too), the desks are linked with a plug & play connector. As a result, the desks can be repositioned in no time and the seminar room adapted to suit requirements at any time.
