Teaching Space Modelling

See the impact of changing teaching space demands

Teaching space needs change all the time. Student numbers go up and down. Teaching delivery methods evolve. Campus buildings open and close.

Our bespoke data modelling service can help you predict any scenario – whether you know it’s coming or want to see the potential impact of a change before you decide whether to go ahead with it. We can literally help you to see into the future - and make a plan for it, too.

Change happens (but you and your teaching spaces will be ready for it!)

Whether you’re already anticipating change or want to be prepared for different ‘maybes’ we can help.

Universities have used our bespoke data-modelling service to:

  • Understand the impact of downsizing their estate on teaching space availability and running costs.
  • Help decide whether to open new buildings or grow their overall campus space.
  • Work out how they can accommodate changes in student numbers – either within their current spaces or by opening up new ones.
  • Explore how they can accommodate changes to the way they teach.
  • Explore ideas that could improve student experience, such as making changes to core teaching hours or when students are on campus.

We do the legwork for you

Sounds like a big job? It is, but we’re here to make it easy.

We gather the right data from the right people. Test and improve its accuracy. Then use it to create a bespoke data model that shows you the impact of different scenarios and helps you meet your goals. At the end, we’ll make recommendations to help you achieve them, too.  

Universities have the option of how they would like their surveys presented. We can use the HESMG Utilisation Grading Tool if that’s helpful or familiar.

How it works

Understand your goals

We meet with you and your stakeholders to understand the changes you’re planning – or want to plan for – and what you’d like to test. Then we set out a clear project plan.

Work with your data

We do all the data collection and crunching. Then we use our bespoke data modelling software to turn it into intelligent insight that shows you how your different scenarios could impact your teaching space.

Refine and retest

This is where our data modelling software comes into its own – easily allowing multiple scenarios to be tested. We meet with you each week to present findings and discuss any new variables to explore - refining and retesting until you have the picture you need of what your future estate could look like.

Reporting, dashboards and support 

Based on your goals, we’ll make recommendations on the changes you can make with the aim of improving teaching space and operational efficiency. All outlined in a written consultancy report, with detailed conclusions and recommendations for implementing each change.

We then work with you so you can gain the buy-in you need to turn these recommendations into actions and start to improve the cost efficiency and effectiveness of your organisation's operations.

Revisit

Post-project we can easily revisit your data modelling project, incorporating new data and parameters and testing the impact these have. We can do this quickly and cost effectively, meaning that we can continue to support you year-on-year at an affordable price.
