HubStar campus planning

HubStar gives you the right data for effective campus space planning

Higher education institutions face growing pressure to meet today’s needs while adapting to evolving student and staff attendance patterns. Amid tight budgets, leaders are reimagining the role of the campus while striking the right balance of blended learning.

As a result, campus space planners face tough questions like:

  • How much space do we really need?
  • How can we create a magnetic campus experience?
  • How can we repurpose spaces to meet net zero goals?
