Classroom Booking and Flexible Work Planning for higher education
Building a flexible workplace as a higher education institution is now more possible than it has ever been. Everything boils down to the correct approach and the right workplace technology.
Higher Education has long been considered among the more traditional workplaces, where flexibility would be hard to obtain. But as flexible working is overtaking salary as the most desired workplace benefit, more and more colleges and universities are looking into agile work planning strategies. The most successful of them turn into technology that can support new scheduling processes, enhance collaboration and cater to the needs of a hybrid workforce.
Work planning
Allow your staff and academic personnel to create their flexible work schedule autonomously.
Simplify hot desk and classroom scheduling with a powerful booking system featuring flexible seating strategies, an interactive floor map, and a real-time availability overview.
Maximize the use of campus resources and facilities
Classroom utilization rates at universities were low before the pandemic but it made them drop even more. Today, 30%-60% of the average campus space is underutilized.
An excess of space leaves Higher Ed institutions with enormous bills for utilities as well as non-essential cleaning and maintenance services. Even so, when it comes to space usage, many colleges and universities still count on guesswork instead of hard data. Meanwhile, with YAROOMS, you can dive into actionable space utilization insights, take advantage of rightsizing opportunities and commit to a smaller, more sustainable space.

YAROOMS in action: A single room booking hub for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Columbia University
Before using YAROOMS, each Faculty's building counted on their own administrative staff to deal with different booking processes. Needless to say, they weren't efficient, and the lack of a common approach to space management often led to overlapping meetings. Aligning booking activities via calls or emails turned out to be time consuming and difficult to track.
