Case Study: Mount Royal University reduces lab costs and improves utilization with LabStats

Mount Royal University saves $25,000 with LabStats by finding 4 underutilized labs

Mount Royal University faced the challenge of inefficiently tracking computer lab usage across its 150 labs. The manual process required paying lab monitors for eight-hour shifts and dedicating a full-time staff member for up to two weeks to crunch numbers and create reports. This outdated method also created a false perception that all labs were fully utilized. The university turned to LabStats to automate this tracking.

By implementing LabStats, Mount Royal University automated its lab usage data collection and analysis. The solution provided by LabStats revealed that four labs, each with approximately 25 computers, were significantly underutilized. This data-driven insight allowed the university to decommission those labs, resulting in a hardware cost savings of $25,000 and freeing up the rooms for instructional use.
