In a period of diminishing resources, existing space offers untapped potential hiding in plain sight. By requiring campus spaces to work harder, institutions can leverage existing capital to enhance the student and community experience. This interactive session will demonstrate the power of campus places by sharing main elements and takeaways from Babson College’s recent space utilization study. We’ll show you how to manage a process for eliciting quantitative and qualitative inputs around existing space occupancy as well as identify necessary data elements for revealing spaces that are ripe with possibilities.
