About Us

For the rebels running campus right.

At CampusIQ, we’re here because higher education deserves better than dusty spreadsheets, guesswork, and “that’s how we’ve always done it.” We’re a geeky crew of data nerds and campus insiders who love higher ed enough to call out the chaos in its space data—and fix it.

Built for the rebel registrar, the rogue facilities leader, and the CIO tired of flying blind, CampusIQ turns messy campus data into clean, trusted intelligence so you can right-size space, cut waste, and give students environments that actually work. 

Our Core Commitments

The non-negotiable standards guiding each insight we deliver.
Privacy First

Insights only matter when student and faculty trust is never in doubt. 

Data Informed

We arm campus leaders with rigorously fact checked insights—so evidence and policy beat politics. 

Radical Clarity

Complex problems, simple experiences. We strip away friction so users get answers fast. 

Partnership for Progress

We embed beside your team until the software becomes shared victory, not shelf-ware.

Sustainable Impact

Cut vacant square-footage, carbon, and costs—wins that compound year after year. 

Yep, we're the ones with the Bow Tie

Bow Tie Tuesdays is our higher ed conversation series, where CampusIQ team members sit down with campus space planners, facilities leaders, and higher ed experts to uncover the wins, trends, and what's next. 

Guests aren’t always CampusIQ customers and that’s intentional: it’s a space for candid conversations and even a bit of fun.
