Space Modelling

Make space for the future

Use data to make your next space planning decisions. See how your current estate could handle more students, less office space or changes to the curriculum. Test the impact of opening or closing a new building.

Data modelling lets you make plans for the future that are space-efficient, cost-friendly and deliver the best experience for students and staff.

We are delighted with Escentral's work in delivering our teaching space modelling project. Their team determined our current timetable utilisation per space type, week, capacity band, and more, plus collaboratively designed and conducted numerous scenario models with our estates and academic stakeholders. They provided tailored solutions to help us plan the relocation of a major department to a new campus, identifying the required number, type, and size of additional teaching spaces.

Escentral delivered this project successfully, meeting specified deadlines and maintaining high-quality standards. The investment in their service is expected to pay for itself many times over through the space efficiencies we will realise. Their expertise and proactive problem-solving have been invaluable. We highly recommend Escentral for their consultancy services.

We are delighted with Escentral's work on our teaching and office space modelling project. The project determined the number, type, and size spaces required for our new Citadels campus to accommodate the planned relocation of numerous academic schools. To do so, their team successfully collaborated with these academic schools to forecast the impact of changes in teaching pedagogy, delivery and demand over the next 5 and 15 academic years.

Additionally, the Escentral team identified opportunities to improve space efficiency and reduce space requirements by addressing practice inefficiencies. The results from this project have been utilised to inform the design, ensuring our new campus provides an efficient and effective range of teaching and office spaces.
Their expertise and collaborative approach were invaluable in achieving our goals. We highly recommend Escentral for their consultancy services.
