Enhancing Your ASI Experience: Real-Time Usage Insights Now Available at the Cal Poly Recreation Center & University Union!

In response to student feedback regarding ASI-managed facilities, the University Union Advisory Board (UUAB) has taken steps to introduce a real-time activity usage system at the Cal Poly Recreation Center and Julian A. McPhee University Union. The integrated technology shows community members how busy areas of each facility are, in real-time, helping them plan visits based on occupancy levels.

The UUAB aims for this new facility feature to promote transparency during peak hours. The intention of this initiative is to alleviate intimidation some students may feel, but also attract them to visit during periods of lower occupancy. It is designed ti reduce crowd-related stress and help students find times when spaces are less busy.

How does it work?

The implementation of this privacy-friendly occupancy technology uses sensors in the three main exercise areas of the Recreation Center and the two lounge areas and open space of the University Union to determine activity capacity in real-time. The sensors detect WiFi and Bluetooth signals from electronic devices to estimate the number of occupants in the building. The system does not collect personally identifiable information. The technology maintains 90% accuracy with its data and takes into account individuals with multiple devices.

To check real-time occupancy, start by downloading the ASI Access app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Get the most out of ASI Access including managed-facility notifications and program updates by setting up your access today!
