Founded in 1850, the University of Dayton is one of the nations largest Catholic universities, recognized for its academic excellence, service, research, and global outreach. The physical campus also supports the university's national reputation, recognized by Kaplan Publishing as a school with the most beautiful campus in an urban setting. The university's Facility Planning Department maintains a central role to ensure the campus is utilized properly and prepared for future growth. For years, the Department utilized a space management system to help track their existing space for planning, reporting, and funding. Faced with increasing challenges for accurate and accessible information, the Department approached in4mation to evaluate their current system and propose a more effective solution.
