Workplace management platform for higher education

If you're a facilities manager, campus operations lead, or IT director in higher education, you've probably run into:

Fragmented IT environments spread across multiple domains and calendars

Pushback on hot desking or shared workspaces

No way to track space usage or enforce no-show policies

Confusion around who can access what, and when

Disconnected tools that don't scale or price models that don't fit

Manual planning and reporting across faculties that slows decisions and wastes resources

FAQ: YAROOMS for education institutions

Yes. Staff can book directly in Outlook or Teams. Students (or others not on Microsoft 365) can still book spaces through the YAROOMS web app or mobile app . Everyone gets the same visibility and booking experience — regardless of their Microsoft access.
YAROOMS includes check-in enforcement — users confirm their bookings either by scanning a QR code at the space or automatically when connecting to campus Wi-Fi. If no check-in happens within a set time, the space is released for others to use.
Yes. YAROOMS works for all space (and resource) types — whether it’s a bookable bench in a lab, a collaborative workspace, a faculty lounge, or even a parking space. You can define rules, time limits, and access policies per space type.
Yes. YAROOMS supports custom approval workflows. You can require administrative approval for specific rooms or groups of spaces — such as lecture halls, labs, or event venues — before bookings are confirmed.
Yes. YAROOMS is designed for multi-location setups. Each campus or building can have its own floorplans, user permissions, and booking rules — all managed from a central dashboard.
You can easily book spaces on behalf of external users — such as guest lecturers, visiting researchers, or consultants — without needing them to log in. This keeps the experience simple for guests while maintaining full visibility and control for your admin team.
YAROOMS includes workplace analytics with utilization trends by time, space type, user group, or location; no-show tracking; historical data exports; and custom filters so you can compare usage across faculties, date ranges, or user types. These insights support day-to-day operations and long-term planning.
Yes. YAROOMS allows you to create booking rules based on user groups, so you can restrict access to sensitive spaces (like labs, meeting rooms, or executive offices) based on role, department, or domain.
Most don’t. YAROOMS is designed for intuitive use. Most staff and students can book a space on their first try — and if needed, we provide quick-start guides and onboarding support.
Yes. For customers in the Education industry, YAROOMS uses a resource-based pricing model, so you’re charged based on the number of bookable spaces, not users. This is particularly valuable for institutions with large student bodies or rotating staff and visitors.
