During the busiest times of the year, we regularly hear from students about how challenging it can be to find a place to study in the library. In order to help address this concern, McGill Library is working with Waitz on a pilot project to display space use information online that shows how busy the McLennan-Redpath Complex is in real-time, by floor, so that students can save time.
Starting the week of February 24, 2020, visit the Library’s Waitz visualization page (mcgill.ca/x/ZVR) or download the free Waitz mobile app (waitz.io/), available for both Android and iOS devices, to know how busy a McLennan-Redpath workspace is beforehand.
The McGill Library will use the anonymous data collected to improve space efficiency and sustainability practices (e.g. space layout, facilities systems modifications, allocation of resources towards space maintenance, etc.) over time.
The McGill Library and Waitz are committed to protecting your privacy. The Waitz service does not collect or keep data on individual people.
