University Space Planning in the Mid-Atlantic

First impressions are important for a reason. They are the first time someone sees you, and ultimately, judges you. Great first impressions can last a lifetime, while poor first impressions can damage your reputation. First impressions for a college or university could be the difference between an applicant wanting to apply to your institution or taking their tuition dollars elsewhere.

The interior designers at Zoom Inc. offer university space planning for Mid-Atlantic colleges, universities and institutions of higher education.

What Is University Space Planning?

University space planning is a part of interior design specially tailored to meet and improve the efficiency of your institution. This includes:

• Churn rate – The percentage of students, faculty members, and other university employees moving and traveling on campus throughout the year.
• Statutory requirements – The minimum amount of space needed per student and faculty member according to fire regulations, lighting levels, signage, etc.
• Student and faculty needs – Classroom furniture and layouts, office furniture and layouts, library furniture and layouts, dining hall furniture and layouts, gym layouts, dorm furniture and layouts, and more.
• Accommodation standards – Open floor plans versus closed, office sizes, classroom sizes, etc.

University Space Planning vs. Space Management

Don’t get it confused! University space management refers to how various colleges and institutions manage their campuses, for example, what professors are assigned to what office number, when classes will be taught in specific classrooms, or what research labs are open for study hours and at what time.

Zoom Inc. specializes in university space planning, not university space management.

Why Is University Space Planning Important?

When you have thousands of students on campus, hundreds of employees, and prospective students touring each and every day, it’s important to work with a university space planning specialist to ensure the interior space of your buildings on your campus are designed to promote maximum foot traffic and are a conducive environment to students and visitors.

University space planning can help college campuses and universities:

• Promote efficient patterns of foot traffic
• Maximize classroom space for maximum students
• Create well-organized spaces where a lot of students congregate (dining halls, banquet halls, etc.)
• Create a welcoming environment for incoming and current students
• Promotes a favorable environment for faculty members to teach
• And more
