With colleges and universities having to pivot to remote learning or hybrid approaches<\/a> because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many institutions have been looking for solutions to expand their campuses and accommodate students. WeWork for Education<\/a> is addressing this need by helping universities provide their students with a space to work that prioritises safety<\/a>, and in some cases, with satellite campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018WeWork is uniquely positioned to help these institutions<\/a> adapt, thanks to our agility, flexibility<\/a> and community<\/a>,\u2019 says Ivan Aguirre, director of product strategy at WeWork and education project lead on how to transform WeWork spaces for higher education. By providing different spaces where students can huddle, collaborate<\/a> or do heads-down work, Aguirre says, WeWork for Education is able to re-create a campus-like experience<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WeWork is already supporting major universities. New York University leased WeWork space<\/a> this autumn near its Shanghai campus to serve more than 3,000 Chinese undergraduate and graduate students. The partnership converted offices into classrooms, lecture halls and study rooms to extend its campus network.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Rochester<\/a> is also working with WeWork to provide work and study areas to undergraduate students who are living in China and studying remotely. Through WeWork All Access<\/a>, students can go to nearly 90 WeWork locations throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n
