Helsinki Selects Supersight for Optimised Learning Space Utilisation

Helsinki Selects Supersight for Optimised Learning Space Utilisation

Helsinki, Finland  5. March 2025.

Helsinki's Education Division has chosen Supersight's space utilisation monitoring service to enhance the efficiency and adaptability of its educational facilities. This groundbreaking initiative will provide real-time insights into space usage, improving planning and operational efficiency across schools and other learning environments.

Comprehensive Space Monitoring Across Multiple Sites
Supersight's advanced AI-based people counting technology will be deployed at key educational institutions across Helsinki, including Kankarepuisto Primary School, a kindergarten and youth facilities, Botby Grundskola, Helsinki Media University and SAO Hattulantie campus. In total, around 130 measuring points will be installed to monitor occupancy and optimise space use dynamically.

The system enables detailed reporting on occupancy rates at the individual, room, and building levels in real time. No personal data is stored or processed, making the system fully GDPR compliant.

Driving Smarter Educational Infrastructure
By implementing Supersight’s real-time monitoring system, Helsinki’s education authorities can make data-driven decisions to improve space planning. The insights gathered will facilitate:

  • Optimized facility management by ensuring that classrooms, daycare spaces, youth centers and pre-vocational institutions are used efficiently.
  • Informed infrastructure investment decisions based on actual usage patterns rather than estimates.
  • Better scheduling and resource allocation to support fluctuating student needs and evolving teaching methods.

A Model for Europe’s Learning Spaces
Beyond Helsinki, this initiative provides a model for pre-schools, primary schools, secondary schools and pre-vocational institutions across Europe. As educational institutions seek to modernise and optimize their physical learning environments, data-driven insights from space monitoring can:

  • Guide new school construction projects to ensure facilities match real-world usage patterns.
  • Help policymakers allocate funding more effectively by understanding space demand and usage trends.
  • Enhance  significant cost efficiency by reducing underutilized spaces.

Supersight is proud to contribute to the future of smart, efficient, and student-centered learning environments, not just in Finland, but across Europe. By enabling a deeper understanding of space utilisation, educational institutions can create learning environments that are both adaptable and cost-efficient.
