Transforming academic space management for a dynamic future

In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, traditional approaches to academic space management are no longer sufficient. Hybrid learning, fluctuating enrollment patterns, and evolving pedagogical needs are challenging space utilization, cost efficiency, and student experience. This session explores the use of innovative technologies, including AI-driven space analytics and dynamic scheduling systems, to reimagine the physical environments for the new higher ed paradigm. Through case studies and data-backed insights, David Wilder highlights strategies empowering institutions to make data-informed decisions, improve operational agility, and align space planning with academic goals. He provides a forward-looking framework to navigate change, foster innovation, and create future-ready learning ecosystems.
