Scattered Information Access
Campus updates, services, announcements, and important information were spread across different channels, making it difficult for users to find what they needed quickly and reliably.

World Bank Campus App
World Bank
A mobile campus platform built to improve access, communication, service visibility, and student engagement through one structured digital experience.
Project Overview
Creating a connected mobile experience for campus users
The World Bank Campus App was designed to support campus users through easier access to information, updates, services, and engagement features in one mobile platform. Centangle developed the app to make campus interaction more accessible and organised, helping users move away from scattered communication channels and engage with campus-related information through a structured digital experience.
The Mandate
Building a mobile platform for campus access and engagement
The requirement was to build a mobile-first platform that could help campus users access information, receive updates, interact with services, and stay connected through a simple and intuitive interface. The app needed to be easy to use, structured around real campus needs, and designed to help users find relevant information or complete key actions without unnecessary friction.
The Environment
A campus setting where access and communication need to be simple
Campus environments involve multiple users, services, facilities, events, updates, and information flows, which can become difficult to manage when communication is spread across emails, notice boards, messages, and manual channels. The World Bank Campus App created a clearer digital layer for campus engagement by bringing information, updates, and interaction into one accessible mobile experience.
Our Role
Delivering a mobile app for digital campus interaction
Centangle developed the World Bank Campus App as a mobile platform focused on user access, campus communication, service visibility, and engagement. The work centred on creating a clear app structure, intuitive interface, and mobile-first user journey that helped transform scattered campus information flows into one more organised digital experience.
The Challenge
Campus users needed a simpler way to access information and stay connected
Campus environments often involve frequent updates, multiple services, different user needs, and information spread across several communication channels. Without a dedicated mobile platform, users may depend on manual updates, emails, physical notices, or informal communication.
The challenge was to build a mobile application that could centralise campus information, improve communication, and make user engagement easier. The app needed to support different types of campus users while keeping the experience simple, practical, and accessible.
Communication Gaps
Campus users needed a more timely and structured way to receive notices, alerts, and important updates without depending only on emails, manual messages, or physical notices.
Mobile Engagement Needs
The platform needed to support users who preferred accessing information, services, and updates directly through their phones, especially in a campus environment where convenience matters.
User-Friendly Navigation
Campus services, content, announcements, and support areas needed to be organised clearly so users could move through the app easily and access relevant information without confusion.
THE SOLUTION
A mobile campus app built around access, updates, and engagement
Centangle developed the World Bank Campus App as a mobile platform that centralises campus information, communication, and engagement features into one structured experience.
