Beyond Guesswork: Strategic Insights from the H2 2025 Space Utilization Index (SUI)

This webinar is part of SCUP’s Sponsored Series and is presented in partnership with Occuspace.

As we navigate 2026, higher education institutions are moving beyond simple recovery and into an era of strategic optimization. With fiscal scrutiny tightening and student needs and enrollment evolving, the ability to align physical asset planning and management with actual usage is no longer just an advantage, it is a financial necessity.

Join Occuspace, the leader in higher ed occupancy intelligence, for an exclusive look at the data that defined the latter half of 2025. In this webinar, we will unpack key findings from our latest Space Utilization Index (SUI), analyzing H2 2025 trends across millions of square feet of academic and administrative space in North America.

In this session, we will explore:

• The H2 2025 Snapshot: A deep dive into space use trends from the Fall 2025 semester and what they predict for the year ahead.
• Data-driven optimization: How leading institutions are using occupancy intelligence to identify underutilized assets, consolidate footprints, and reduce operational overhead.
• The Student Experience Metric: Utilizing data to pinpoint where students actually congregate and study, ensuring renovations align with modern learning behaviors.
• From Insights to Action: Case studies on how facilities teams are using real-time data to justify budgets, optimize cleaning schedules, and greenlight capital projects with confidence.
• Defensible Data for 2026 Planning: How to move from anecdotal evidence to hard metrics when requesting budget approval or considering new construction.
• The Hybrid Reality: Analysis of administrative vs. student space usage and how to adapt your real estate strategy for a permanent hybrid workforce.

Designed for university leadership, campus planners, and facilities directors, this webinar will provide the roadmap you need to transform your physical infrastructure into a responsive, efficient strategic asset.
