Space management had a banner year in higher education. In this Bow Tie Tuesday recap, CampusIQ’s Alyson Goff joins Veena Vadgama to share what campus leaders actually did with occupancy analytics in 2025—from restroom cleanliness and comfort setpoints to building-level utilization and student experience. If you’re exploring higher education space analytics/space planning and want practical wins (not just theory), this is your episode.

What you’ll learn (Key takeaways)
✨ Why curiosity around occupancy analytics surged across all enrollment profiles— not just campuses with declines
💸 How rising operating costs are pushing “do more with less” and data-informed decisions
🏢 A building-as-ecosystem lens for space planning and library utilization
🧼 Restroom cleanliness: deploying custodial teams with real utilization data (and Buc-ee’s-level outcomes)
🌡️ Energy savings: adjusting temperature setpoints overnight to cut utility spend—fast
🔐 Privacy: focusing on space behavior, not tracking individuals; how to address concerns with transparency
