The Stanford Redwood City pilot includes three onsite staff members, who conduct weekly room sweeps and provide in-person support for urgent issues. The onsite staff members are partnering with the UG2 Day Porters at SRWC, who provide services throughout the buildings. The Day Porters check the conference rooms for visible equipment issues as part of their regular maintenance duties and alert the Conference Room Support team members of any issues they see.
