## Notice

To be more spatially dynamic and to identify opportunities for repurposing space and develop a new Space Policy, Lancaster University needs to invest in software including Software as a service (SaaS) and infrastructure which will effectively monitor and report on room occupancy and space utilisation, both specifically (counting exact numbers of people on desks), and more generally (showing general density and people flow) We are also keen to build on advances in digital technology to improve our service to students by integrating sensor technology with wider campus services.
