Webinar | Safely Return Students to Your Buildings

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry & Campus Solutions series.

The New School opened in a limited capacity in the fall of 2020 and needed a way to have students reserve space for non-instructional purposes in its making centers, computer labs, and equipment rental spaces. Kayla O’Daniel and Marcus Longmuir will showcase how they selected and launched LibCal Seats, a cloud-based solution, in just three weeks. Learn how this online tool allowed their team to implement, without a significant integration process, a solution with a widely distributed management approach that allowed a reopening strategy that met city and state COVID-19 guidelines.
