Case Study: Connecticut State Colleges & Universities achieves unified scheduling and improved space utilization with Accruent EMS

How as Connecticut State Colleges & Universities merged into a single university system, EMS provided a single scheduling management solution

Connecticut State Colleges & Universities (CSCU), a 17-school public system serving over 140,000 students and managing 13.5 million square feet of facilities, faced a patchwork of disparate, legacy scheduling and event-management systems after a statewide merger. Manual, error-prone processes across campuses made scheduling inefficient and staff‑intensive, so CSCU selected Accruent EMS to consolidate and standardize scheduling across the system.

Accruent EMS was deployed as a unified scheduling and event-management platform, integrating with CSCU’s student information system and accommodating both centralized and distributed campus models. The Accruent EMS implementation is now used at all CSCU schools, eliminated scheduling bottlenecks, increased sharing of facilities utilization data, improved space utilization and event revenues, and enabled scheduling teams to operate with fewer staff while boosting productivity.
