At CampusIQ, innovation begins with collaboration. That’s why, earlier this year, we brought together a powerful group of forward-thinking leaders to form our first-ever Campus Advisory Board (CAB). These eight institutions are not just shaping the future of their own campuses—they're helping redefine what's possible in higher education space planning and management.
Spotlight: Meet the Game-Changers
Our Advisory Board brings together diverse perspectives from campuses facing unique challenges. This week, we're thrilled to highlight three leaders who are turning challenges into opportunities:
-
University of Central Florida (UCF): Known for pioneering data-driven decision-making, UCF leverages advanced analytics to strategically manage spaces, ensuring their rapidly growing student body thrives. Thank you to Jonathan Bates, Assistant Vice President for Real Estate and Space Administration and Christy Miranda, Director for Space Utilization.
-
University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA): Tackling resource constraints head-on, UTSA is innovating with solutions that boost energy efficiency and enhance campus operations, setting new standards for sustainability. Thank you to Josh Gerken, Associate Vice President for Asset Management and Matt Elliott, Manager for Strategic I.
-
Tarleton State University: Amid rapid growth and limited resources, Tarleton is creatively rethinking space utilization, turning strategic planning into their competitive advantage. Thank you to Zach Gorman, Assistant Vice President for Innovation and CIO and Matthew Meyer, Deputy CIO.
These institutions—and others on the board—are the visionaries whose insights shape CampusIQ’s future.
Why This Matters—Innovation Rooted in Reality
At CampusIQ, our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of the real-world challenges higher education institutions face every day. Guided by the "jobs-to-be-done" philosophy, our CAB helps us stay intimately connected to these evolving needs, ensuring every solution we create delivers genuine value.
Early Wins, Lasting Impacts
From our very first meeting, the board has inspired practical, powerful ideas, including:
-
AI-driven predictive analytics, helping campuses plan proactively for tomorrow’s challenges.
-
Advanced, intuitive map views for smoother multi-campus navigation and real-time insights.
-
A groundbreaking app for seamless, accurate room inventory validation, already receiving enthusiastic feedback and shaping enhancements.
And that’s just the start. Inspired by the CAB, we're also developing:
-
Educational frameworks that promote campus-wide engagement, mirroring the support students experience in their first year.
-
Robust historical documentation tools, critical for emergency response and strategic campus evolution.
-
A dynamic peer collaboration forum to spark innovation and knowledge-sharing across institutions.
-
Customized executive dashboards, empowering campus leaders with actionable insights and clear reporting.
Looking Ahead
The Campus Advisory Board isn’t just influencing CampusIQ—it’s inspiring us. With every conversation, every insight, and every innovation, we’re shaping a future where higher education institutions thrive through smarter space management.
