Space Utilization: Leveraging Data Sources for Optimal Usage
Boston Copley Marriott
Tues. February 28, 2023
8:30 – 9:20 am
The difference between how many people are projected to use the Student Union or other campus facilities vs. those that actually do can cause wide margins of error on annual reporting. In this session, the speakers will discuss how software can be used to close the gap between usage estimates and provide actionable, reliable space utilization data for student unions and campus facilities. Attendees will learn how to identify data sources that can be utilized for space optimization, analyze example data and relate it to their campus space usage, and evaluate current data sources and assess alternatives.
