A cross-industry platform for seamless inventory, booking, navigation, check-ins, and advanced reporting.
Vicinia, the digital twin company for schools, campuses, and organizations, today announces: Vicinia Spaces, a unified platform that allows organizations to keep an accurate inventory of all spaces and bookable assets, streamline reservations, enable real-time navigation and check-ins, and connect to existing workplace or campus systems through open APIs.
Built on Vicinia’s advanced Digital Twin architecture, Vicinia Spaces brings together space management, booking, user engagement, utilization intelligence, billing, and administrative oversight—previously scattered across multiple systems—into one cohesive platform.
A Unified Source of Truth for Spaces & Assets
Vicinia Spaces provides a complete, real-time inventory of:
- Spaces: classrooms, labs, offices, meeting rooms, studios, maker rooms, desks, and amenities
- Bookable assets: AV equipment, carts, tools, mobility devices, projectors, specialty machines, medical and safety assets such as defibrillators (AEDs), emergency kits, and fire extinguishers
Each resource is mapped inside the Digital Twin with metadata, location context, and availability rules—giving organizations a reliable, centralized source of truth.
“Organizations struggle because inventory, booking, and utilization live in isolated tools,” said Dr. Farshad Lahouti, CEO of Vicinia. “Vicinia Spaces creates a living, integrated system so teams can manage their environments with real intelligence and confidence.”
Modern User Experience: Booking, Check-In & Changes
Vicinia Spaces includes a simple and intuitive and mobile friendly interfacefor staff, faculty, students, employees, or visitors:
- Browse available rooms, desks, and assets
- Submit, modify, or cancel bookings
- Check in/out via mobile or kiosk
- Receive guided indoor navigation to the space
- View real-time availability and alerts
Interactive maps show where rooms and assets are, how to get there, and what’snearby.
Comprehensive Admin Dashboard
Administrators gain access to a powerful, centralized dashboard that provides operational visibility across every building and asset:
- Live Space Overview: real-time bookings, occupancy, and availability
- Resource Management Tools: edit metadata, update policies, manage approvals
- Utilization Analytics: heatmaps, peak hours, department-level breakdowns
- Booking Rules & Permissions: user roles, blackout windows, access logic
- People Counting Insights: real-time and historical occupancy trends
- Workflow Management: manage no-shows, cancellations, and conflicts
- Financial Controls: billing, chargebacks, credits, and reconciliation
- Alerts & Notifications: expiring assets, over-capacity events, service needs
The dashboard unifies data that historically sits across calendars, spreadsheets, signage systems, and facility tools—making decision-making faster and more precise.
Cross-Industry Applications
Vicinia Spaces is built for any organization managing buildings, people, and shared resources:
Education (K–12 & Higher Ed) Classrooms, labs, libraries, equipment rooms, sports facilities
Corporate & Workplace Meeting rooms, hot desks, collaboration zones, IT equipment
Municipal & Government Community rooms, shared facilities, public-use spaces, fleet assets
Healthcare & Clinics Training rooms, staff spaces, mobile equipment management
Venues, Events & Cultural Sites Breakout rooms, kiosks, staging areas, AV assets
The platform adapts to each environment while maintaining consistent standards.
Comprehensive Billing & Reporting
Vicinia Spaces offers robust tools for financial and operational reporting:
- Automated billing for space and asset usage
- Internal chargeback or department allocation
- Utilization patterns and forecast modeling
- Booking compliance and no-show analysis
- Export-ready reports for finance, operations, and planning
- Comparative performance across buildings or campuses
Organizations can quickly identify underutilized spaces and assets, reduce costs, and justify capital planning.
By combining assignments, bookings, and usage data, Vicinia Spaces supports flexible business models — from internal chargebacks and departmental cost recovery to external rentals and shared-resource billing — all driven by real utilization data.
Resource Allocation & Assignment Policies
Vicinia Spaces supports advanced resource allocation policy management, allowing organizations to define how, when, and by whom spaces and assets may be assigned or booked.
Space managers can permanently assign offices, desks, or equipment to individuals or departments, while keeping shared resources — such as conference rooms, labs, or vehicles — available for reservation. Policies control eligibility, approval workflows, time windows, and usage rules, ensuring consistency and fairness across the organization.
Open API for Seamless Integrations
Vicinia Spaces supports interoperability through a robust open API layer, allowing integration with:
- Calendar systems (Google, Outlook, Exchange)
- SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace)
- Access control & check-in systems
- Occupancy & people-counting sensors
- IPS & navigation systems
- Facility, ITSM, and safety tools
The open API ensures the platform plugs into existing workflows without disruption.
Powered by Vicinia’s Digital Twin
At the core of Vicinia Spaces is Vicinia’s high-precision Digital Twin — a spatial foundation that allows organizations to manage spaces, assets, people, and data from a single platform.
Because every room, asset, and pathway exists inside the Digital Twin, organizations can layer additional capabilities over time, including spatial occupancy sensors, indoor positioning systems, real-time availability, and advanced analytics, without deploying separate tools.
This approach transforms space management from static records into a living system, where navigation, utilization, booking, and reporting all operate from the same source of truth.

Founded in 2020 in Pasadena, California, by Dr. Farshad Lahouti of Caltech, Vicinia delivers secure, interoperable, and high-accuracy mapping solutions that help organizations operate safer, smarter, and more efficiently.
