For university housing & residence life
Help students feel at home — before they ever step on campus.
Layout gives incoming students an interactive 3D dorm room where they can place real furniture, plan with roommates, and know what fits before move-in. The result? Fewer room issues, smoother move-in days, and students who arrive confident instead of confused.
Reduce move-in stress, room change requests, and "will this fit?" emails in one step.
A calmer move-in day and fewer room headaches all year
Layout fits into the university housing process to reduce stress for students and staff while improving the residential experience.
Fewer unprepared move-ins
Students arrive knowing what fits, where the bed goes, where their fridge and storage will live. Less chaos, fewer surprises.
Fewer room change requests
When students can test layouts and see what's possible before move-in, they make more informed decisions and accept their room with fewer complaints.
Less staff time on "will this fit?" questions
Cut down on repeated emails about bed sizes, lofting, microfridges, and shared space. Layout answers these visually.
More students who say 'I can see myself living here.'
When students can visualize their space and plan ahead, they arrive ready to make their room feel like home from day one.
Built for the realities of student housing
Layout can be configured per campus with your bed types, allowed items, and housing policies.
Accurate dorm layouts from LiDAR or floor plans
Layout creates accurate dorm room models from LiDAR scans or detailed floor plans. Beds, wardrobes, desks, and windows are in the right place, so students trust what they see.
Drag-and-drop dorm furniture and approved items
Students place standard-issue furniture plus approved items (like microfridges, storage, and seating) so they design within your policies and room constraints.
Save, share, and plan with roommates
Students save their layout and share with roommates. They can decide who brings what and where it goes before move-in.
Policy-aware design and housing handoff
From Layout, students can see policy-friendly setups and then confirm their layout, send notes to housing (e.g., accessibility needs, bed not lofted), and connect to your housing portal or forms.
Support students from deposit to move-out
After room assignment – first look at their room
Students receive a link to their exact dorm room type in Layout. They can explore the room, understand bed size, and see where key furniture lives.
Pre-orientation – plan with roommates
Roommates design together, decide who brings which items, and make the most of tight space. Fewer “we both brought a couch” moments.
Move-in day – place furniture in minutes
Students open their saved layout on their phone and place furniture without guesswork. Staff spend less time answering layout questions in hot hallways.
During the year – safe room changes, not chaos
When students want to rearrange or add furniture, they can check fit and policy in Layout first instead of dragging heavy beds and calling staff later.
Layout makes dorm rooms feel planned and welcoming, not random and stressful.
Start with one hall, then scale campus-wide
Pricing is simple and predictable, often based on the number of unique room types or halls. We offer pilot programs so you can launch Layout in one residence hall or community first, measure the impact, and then scale campus-wide.
- Pilot a single hall or community before scaling
- Pricing tied to number of unique room types, not student count
- Includes student access, hosting of interactive dorm layouts, and basic usage analytics
- Support for ResLife and Housing onboarding
We'll help you choose one hall as a pilot and measure impact on move-in, student feedback, and staff workload.
