🎓 The Challenge

With over 22,000 students, 2,000 instructors and 5 campuses, theUniversité de Montpellier Paul-Valéry was faced with a paradox: teams were experiencing overcrowding and a lack of available space... while many classrooms remained unoccupied.

Departments were operating in silos. Ghost bookings, double reservations, overbooked rooms… The system simply wasn’t working.

To break the cycle, they decided to shift their approach, moving from fragmented room booking to a smart timetablng strategy powered by ADE Campus.

And it completely changed the game.

In just a few months, ADE Campus transformed the way the university operates:

– One central view of all rooms, resources and timetables
