Operational framework proposal for ESPOL university 2.0 smart campus implementation

Ecuadorian universities will have in the future an increasingly high demand of research students that necessitates multi-purpose technological infrastructures with high technology equipment. Thus, it is compulsory to rethink the planning and expansion schemes on which the university assets are updated and adopt a novel model of education platform known as UNIVERSITY 2.0. This approach requires the definition of a referential administrative framework to make the transition between current and future processes to be focused on IT solutions, efficiency, optimal track and use of resources, energy departments, etc., all defined as open divisions that could align the campus as an autonomous city. Hence, integrated technological solutions for all careers will conform the operational platform from which entrepreneur initiatives will deploy industry solutions. This paper presents the framework to line up local universities towards future challenges.
