Developing a Smart Campus Infrastructure for Apayao State College: A Feasibility Study

Abstract

The rapid evolution of technology has transformed higher education, giving rise to the concept of Smart Campuses. These institutions leverage advanced technologies to create innovative, interconnected, and sustainable learning environments. This feasibility study explores the potential of implementing a smart campus infrastructure at Apayao State College (ASC) to enhance operational efficiency, elevate educational quality, and promote sustainable practices.
The study examines key components of a smart campus, including information and communication technology (ICT), automated systems, smart energy solutions, and integrated security frameworks. Through institutional analysis, stakeholder interviews, and site assessments, the research evaluates the technical, financial, and environmental feasibility of proposed solutions.
By addressing challenges such as connectivity gaps, funding constraints, and user adaptability, ASC can position itself as a pioneering institution in Philippine higher education. A smart campus transformation will foster dynamic learning, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability, ultimately enhancing stakeholder satisfaction.
