We are leaders in the provision of space planning services for universities. Our edge is a deep understanding of universities – delivery of learning, teaching and research –, and bespoke tools that use data to forecast future space requirements.
We have worked in universities as space managers and planners. We have been undergraduate and postgraduate students, studying on-campus and online. We have undertaken research projects with universities. Since 2016 we have assisted universities in Australia and Asia to understand their current space use and quantify future requirements for master planning, capital investment business cases, and to inform building designs.
Many universities use data to quantify current space use. The challenge is that the future will not be the same as the past. Pedagogies, courses, enrolments, delivery patterns may all change. How then to use the past to predict the future. Space Counts bespoke analysis methods have been proven to overcome these challenges. We allow our clients to peer through the bias of past operations imposed by facilities constraints and operating practices, and quantify future space needs based on future operating practice and facilities configuration.
Our clients have relied on us to determine space schedules that make developments viable, to test space use outcomes from policy settings and the fill the knowledge gap between the University’s need for space and architectural design processes.
