Last June we turned 58 beds in 32 hours between finals and summer move-ins, running student staff in staggered 6-hour blocks, carpet crew at 7 a.m., and a comp day and meal vouchers to keep folks upright. What’s your personal best, and one student-support tweak that made it smoother?
Beat ‘32 hours’ once: 64 beds in 27 by running carpet overnight and starting ops at 5 a.m., plus pre-staged bathroom kits and labeled key packets on every door. Student support tweak that moved the needle was one on-call runner per floor with a wagon and a QR request form; meal vouchers helped, but $10 coffee credits every 4 hours kept energy steadier, and if you can push carpet to 10 p.m.–4 a.m. the halls are clear for morning inspections, @OP.
Quick win for us: we put QR-coded door tags that RAs scan at each step, pushing live room status to a shared board so runners don’t idle; with the carpet crew still kicking off at 7 a.m., it cut our last pass by about 90 minutes. Only caveat is cell/Wi‑Fi — offline mode kept scans from lagging. Think that could layer onto your “staggered 6-hour blocks,” @OP?
