Help Us Illuminate a Safer Campus Parking Experience

Your parking garage should feel safe, well-lit, and welcoming at all hours. As we plan comprehensive lighting upgrades across our university parking structures, your feedback is essential to creating spaces that truly serve our campus community.

Why Your Input Matters

University parking structures serve thousands of students, faculty, staff, and visitors every day—and well into the evening hours. Poor lighting doesn't just create inconvenience; it impacts personal safety, accessibility, and the overall campus experience. By gathering detailed feedback from the people who use these facilities daily, we can prioritize upgrades that make the biggest difference where they're needed most.

Whether you're a commuter student arriving for early morning classes, a faculty member leaving after evening office hours, or a staff member who parks in the same spot every day, your experience and perspective will directly inform our lighting improvement plan.

What We're Evaluating

This feedback form helps our Facilities & Campus Safety teams understand:

• Current safety perceptions across different parking structures and levels
• Usage patterns including time of day, frequency, and specific locations
• Problem areas where lighting is inadequate, malfunctioning, or creates blind spots
• Priority improvements that would have the greatest impact on your sense of security
• Accessibility concerns for community members with visual or mobility needs
• Comparison feedback if you use multiple parking facilities

Your responses will be compiled into a comprehensive needs assessment that guides our phased lighting upgrade plan, budget allocation, and installation timeline.

How Paperform Transforms Facilities Feedback

Universities and campus facilities teams increasingly rely on Paperform to gather, analyze, and act on community input. Unlike basic survey tools, Paperform creates an intuitive, visually accessible feedback experience that encourages thoughtful responses—and then connects that feedback directly into your project management workflow.

With conditional logic, you can ask relevant follow-up questions based on which parking structure someone uses or what safety concerns they've experienced. AI Insights can automatically analyze hundreds of open-ended comments to surface common themes like "poor lighting near stairwells" or "dark corners on Level 3," saving your team hours of manual review.

Once submitted, responses can flow automatically into your facilities management system, create work orders in your maintenance platform, or trigger notifications to the campus safety committee—all through Stepper, your no-code workflow automation companion.

From Feedback to Action

The best feedback forms don't just collect data—they drive tangible improvements. By using Paperform's custom success pages, you can immediately acknowledge submissions, share your project timeline, and keep respondents updated on progress. Many universities create follow-up forms to share "here's what you told us, here's what we did" reports, building trust and encouraging future participation.

For larger campus initiatives, Paperform's Agency+ plan lets you manage feedback forms across multiple departments—parking, housing, student services—from one central account with proper permissions and reporting for each team.

Best Practices for Campus Facilities Feedback

Whether you're upgrading lighting, improving wayfinding, or planning major renovations, effective feedback collection shares common principles:

1. Make it visual: Include photos or diagrams of parking structure layouts so people can pinpoint specific locations
2. Ask about experience, not just problems: Understanding when and how people use spaces reveals context that raw complaints miss
3. Prioritize together: Let your community indicate which improvements matter most to them
4. Close the loop: Share what you learned and what actions you're taking based on their input
5. Keep it accessible: Ensure forms work well on mobile devices and meet accessibility standards

Trusted by Universities and Campus Operations

Paperform is used by educational institutions worldwide for everything from student registration and event planning to facilities requests and community feedback. With SOC 2 Type II compliance, data residency controls, and role-based permissions, you can trust Paperform with sensitive campus data while giving facilities teams the autonomy to create and manage their own forms.

Combined with Stepper for workflow automation and Papersign for any required acknowledgments or consent forms, Paperform becomes your complete platform for campus operations—no IT department required.
