Our Mission
Founded in 2016 by campus operations experts and technology leaders, CampusIQ was born from the recognition that insitutions needed better tools to understand how their spaces are actually used.
Today, we partner with 50+ leading institutions worldwide, helping them save millions in operational costs while creating better experiences for students, faculty, and staff.
Our privacy-first approach ensures that personal data is protected while delivering the insights universities need to make informed decisions about their most valuable asset: space.
