From Square Feet to Smart Feet: Rethinking Campus Space Through Data
Thursday, November 20, 2025, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
Category: Water Cooler

When the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) faced simultaneous space demands across new and existing initiatives, traditional expansion wasn’t the answer — smarter use of existing space was.

In this session, UTSA and CampusIQ reveal how real-time utilization insights helped uncover over 100,000 square feet of hidden capacity, enabling the university to avoid more than $3 million in potential costs.

Learn how UTSA’s facilities and planning teams:
• Reallocated space to meet urgent needs without new construction
• Transitioned from “one office per person” to “right space, right time”
• Simplified space access and improved adoption with intuitive tools
• Connected utilization data to energy savings and operational efficiency
• Built transparency and collaboration around shared space data

This session highlights how data-informed decision-making empowers facilities leaders to optimize portfolios, engage stakeholders, and future-proof the built environment across higher education campuses.
