This cool tool plays an intrinsic role in education: it helps provide space for learning. Lambent Spaces Occupancy Analytics platform helps higher education space planning professionals see their physical campus spaces in entirely new ways with powerful insights for decisions related to utilization, student experiences, classroom planning, scheduling and maintenance. It is a highly efficient and effective alternative to capital-intensive and intrusive solutions such as sensors, and it works with existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to get users up and running quickly while reducing costs.

Key capabilities include:

• Dynamic Space Management: identifies behavior trends to improve operations and inform decision-making for the use/reallocation of existing campus spaces, and construction of new ones.
• Data-Driven Decisions – provides in-depth, to-the-minute understanding of how/where people flow throughout a campus to surface risks, reduce costs, optimize space.
• Visual Mapping – makes occupancy data and usage patterns more relevant.
• Actionable Insights – in weeks vs. months.
• Privacy as a Priority – counts people and surfaces data points anonymously.
• Simple Integrations – with existing systems; deployed onsite or in the cloud
• Transforming Data to People Count – proprietary algorithms and machine learning at the edge produce anonymous spatial estimates of occupancy utilization by zone.
• Platform Data Insights – utilization trends and patterns throughout buildings and across campus.

Users can view utilization rates over time, compare registrations to reservations, identify underutilized spaces to reassign students and employees during build/maintenance projects, and make lease renewal and facility budget decisions with hard data.

Eastern Tennessee State, George Mason, Purdue, University of Southern Florida, University of Tennessee-Knoxville and William & Mary are a few of the institutions using the platform. For these reasons and more, Lambent Spaces was named “Best Occupancy Analytics for Space Optimization Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
