Abstract: A system and method for facilitating access to requested information in building. The system includes a database, a server having a central processing unit, a wireless network, video displays disposed in rooms, and a sensing unit in communication with the server over the wireless network. The sensing unit has a microphone and disposed in each of the rooms. The sensing units are configured to detect the presence of a user and actuate an associated video display. The microphone is configured to receive requested information from the user. The central processing unit processes the requested information so as to retrieve the requested information from the database and display the requested information on the associated video display. In one embodiment, the sensing unit is a beacon and a portable electronic device. In another embodiment, the sensing unit is a wireless voice command device.
