As the vaccination programme continues to roll out in the US, university administrators across the country are gearing up for an autumn semester that will look far different from that of 2020. According to research from WeWork and brightspot strategy<\/a>, remote learning during a pandemic has had a hugely detrimental effect on college students’ satisfaction. Many colleges and universities are already opening up in-person learning<\/a> to all students in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn’t mean everyone will be on campus and in the classroom at the same time. Administrators know it could be 2023 before university life can safely return to its pre-pandemic state – if it ever does<\/a>. In the meantime, masks and social distancing will still be required. Many institutions are continuing to implement strategies to de-densify campuses for 2021, including opening satellite locations and creating rotating schedules for on-campus learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of colleges and universities have turned to WeWork for Education<\/a> over the last year to help develop a workspace strategy<\/a> that support students’ personal and academic growth and improve remote students’ satisfaction. Some institutions de-densified<\/a> or decentralised<\/a> their campuses with satellite locations across a city – or across the world. Both of these strategies reduce the number of students in any one classroom, provide essential Internet connectivity to students who don’t have it at home, and give remote learners a place to socialise and study<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how two universities worked with WeWork to solve a variety of remote learning and workspace challenges. In turn, they were able to provide students with the built-in infrastructure, support and community culture they need and want for a rewarding college experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
