Submitted by Corey Smith on Sat, 11/08/2008 - 15:29
The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) was founded in 1877 in Providence. The school is comprised of a vibrant community of artists and designers, including 2,200 students from around the world, approximately 350 faculty and curators, and 400 staff members. RISD fulfills its educational mission by providing the highest quality instruction in the visual arts, design, architecture, and art education.
While proud of its educational programming, RISD also places emphasis on providing its faculty and student population with the latest technological resources. One of the most used of these resources is the campus’ Copy Center. In July of 2003, RISD began the process of replacing its entire fleet of copiers and printers pending expiration of its existing lease. In addition, Diane Sanborn, Copy Center supervisor for RISD, wanted to upgrade to newer technology.
RISD conducted a thorough equipment provider selection process, which eventually led the school to choose a Toshiba dealer based in Massachusetts. After Toshiba presented its recommendations and demonstrated the capabilities of several Toshiba e-STUDIO™ multifunction products (MFPs), it was clear that Toshiba understood RISD’s needs and could provide a cost-effective strategy for improvement.
