Meeting complex operational needs across a multi‑subsidiary campus

As the institution introduced its new three‑building, eight‑story campus, it faced the challenge of delivering a consistent occupant experience across shared spaces while accommodating the needs of several subsidiaries. Each entity required its own administrative rights without compromising efficiency, and no off‑the‑shelf solution could meet these combined operational and experience‑driven requirements.

Connected workplace platform to unify communication, space management, and operations

To address the complexity of the new campus, the institution implemented a workplace management platform that seamlessly integrated with existing systems. A mobile‑first application was rolled out to enable easy space booking, communication, and employee engagement across all subsidiaries. Real‑time data delivered through OpenBlue solutions supported improved energy efficiency, reduced downtime, and optimized performance.

Improved employee experience, space efficiency, and productivity

By centralizing workplace management and delivering a mobile‑first experience, the institution strengthened communication, enhanced space utilization, and improved how occupants engage with the campus. The unified platform supported a more seamless employee journey and enabled more effective use of shared facilities.
