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. Presented by: Josh Gerken, Associate Vice President, Asset Management - University of Texas at San Antonio Alyson Goff & Mark Speed, Campus IQ CFTA Water Coolers give members a virtual outlet to connect and share ideas & best practices with peers in the FM Technology field, as if they were catching up by the office water cooler.
