Cal Poly SLO Move-In: Challenges & Our Execution
Large cohorts and concentrated time blocks create hall-specific surges.
Key challenges
Peak surges per hall during short windows
Distance between staging pads and room stacks
Elevator cycle times under load
Our implementation
Hall-by-hall staging matched to time blocks
Supervised returns to speed cart turns and availability
Replenishment loops to hot halls as demand changes
COI naming Cal Poly/required entities; building protection on request
Outcome highlights
Higher cart availability at peak without over-allocating inventory
Better lobby throughput and reduced wait times
Coordinated wrap with accurate end-of-day counts
