A campus is a sequence of busy and quiet periods, not simply a measured floor area. A manufacturer-published LionsBot example shows how cleaning routes can be organised around those periods.

What the source reports

LionsBot describes scheduled R3 Vac cleaning at an unnamed six-storey campus building. Teaching and circulation areas were assigned to the machine, with staff retaining other cleaning work. The account notes recorded coverage, but does not establish a universal result for other campuses.

Plan around room use

For a new campus project, combine the floor map with the teaching timetable. Furniture may move, doors may close and temporary activities may block a route. Identify which rooms can be cleaned without a person opening access and which require staff coordination. A practical schedule must allow time to recover from an interrupted run.

Keep evidence useful to facilities staff

Review completed areas, missed areas and interventions at an agreed interval. Avoid judging success by the number of saved maps or missions alone. Facilities staff need to know whether the rooms and corridors were ready when required. A smaller reliable schedule is a stronger starting point than promising coverage of the entire campus immediately.

Three points to take into your project

  • Combine route maps with room schedules.
  • Plan for closed doors and moved furniture.
  • Measure readiness when rooms reopen.
