Reimagining campus space for the future: Smart systems, adaptive reuse, cost savings, and more

Post-pandemic realities have reshaped campus space needs, and UCF is at the forefront of using real-time space utilization data to address these changes. Here you’ll see what they’ve learned in the process, and how the data has launched 550,000-sf worth of space reassignments and operating improvements targeting $6million in savings and paving the way for academic and research growth. Session leaders illustrate the use of smart systems to inform real-time HVAC adjustments, reduce custodial costs, and improve space planning. They demonstrate capabilities for driving efficiency and sustainability, navigating financial pressures and deferred maintenance challenges, and refining campus compression and adaptive reuse strategies.
