Virtual Tours for Universities and Education
Help prospective students, parents, visitors and staff explore your education environment before they arrive, whether you manage a school, college, university, training centre, student accommodation or multi-building campus.
360 View creates immersive virtual tours and spatial records using Google Street View, Matterport Digital Twins, point cloud scanning, immersive wayfinding and 360 photography.
From student recruitment and open days to accessibility planning, orientation and estate management, we help education organisations make their spaces easier to understand online.
Help People Understand Your Space Before They Visit
A virtual tour gives students, parents, visitors and staff a clear sense of your buildings, facilities and atmosphere before they arrive.
Whether you manage a school, college, university, training centre, accommodation site or wider campus, people can explore the space online and feel more confident before taking the next step.
Support Open Days and Student Recruitment
Virtual tours help education organisations keep key spaces visible beyond physical open days.
Applicants, parents and international students can explore teaching rooms, libraries, accommodation, sports facilities, social spaces and outdoor routes from anywhere, at any time.
Make Arrival Easier and More Inclusive
New environments can feel unfamiliar, especially for younger pupils, new students, families and people with accessibility needs.
Virtual tours and immersive wayfinding help users preview entrances, routes, lifts, facilities and key areas before they arrive.
Give Estates Teams Better Visual Records
Education sites are busy, complex and constantly changing.
Matterport Digital Twins, Google Street View coverage and point cloud scanning give estates and facilities teams clear spatial records for planning, maintenance, refurbishment and long-term estate management.
Choose the Right Virtual Tour and Spatial Data Service
Every education environment is different. A nursery, school, college, university, training centre, accommodation site or wider campus may need a different mix of visibility, virtual access and spatial data. 360 View helps you choose the right format for recruitment, open days, accessibility, wayfinding, marketing and estate planning.
Google Street View for Indoor and Outdoor Visibility
Make key areas of your education site easier to discover through Google Search and Maps.
Indoor Google Street View can show reception areas, corridors, classrooms, halls, libraries, accommodation and shared facilities. Outdoor Google Street View can connect entrances, paths, courtyards, parking, sports areas and wider site routes.
Matterport Digital Twins for Interactive Walkthroughs
Create immersive 3D tours of buildings, rooms and facilities that people can explore online.
Matterport Digital Twins work well for classrooms, lecture theatres, laboratories, libraries, studios, accommodation and social spaces. They support open days, admissions pages, accommodation choices, remote access and internal planning.
Point Cloud Scanning for Accurate Building Data
Capture precise spatial data for buildings, rooms and complex education facilities.
Point cloud scanning supports measured surveys, refurbishment planning, condition reviews, BIM workflows, space planning and long-term estate management. It gives estates and facilities teams reliable data for decisions that need accuracy.
Immersive Wayfinding for Orientation and Accessibility
Help students, parents, staff and visitors understand routes before they arrive.
Immersive wayfinding can connect entrances, reception areas, classrooms, departments, accommodation, lifts and accessible routes. It is especially useful for open days, first visits, larger sites and complex multi-building education environments.
What an Education Virtual Tour Project Looks Like
We Plan Around Your Site and Objectives
We start by understanding your education environment, the spaces you want captured and the outcome you need.
This could include student recruitment, open days, parent engagement, accessibility, wayfinding, estate records or a combination of services.
We Capture the Right Spaces
We capture the areas that matter most to your audience, from entrances, classrooms, libraries and halls to accommodation, outdoor routes, sports facilities and specialist spaces.
Projects can cover a single building, a school site, a training centre, student accommodation or a wider multi-building campus.
We Prepare Your Tours and Spatial Assets
Your virtual tours, Google Street View imagery, Matterport Digital Twins, 360 photography, wayfinding content or point cloud data are processed and prepared for the right use.
This may include website embeds, Google Maps publishing, admissions links, internal planning assets or estate documentation.
You Use the Content Across Your Organisation
Once delivered, your digital content can support open days, websites, prospectuses, admissions campaigns, accessibility planning, staff orientation and long-term estate management.
The result is a clearer, more useful digital view of your education space for the people who need to understand it.
Make Your Education Space Easier to Find, Understand and Recommend
AI search, voice assistants and visual discovery tools are changing how people compare education environments online.
Clear virtual tours, Google Street View imagery, Matterport Digital Twins and structured page content give search systems more useful context about your buildings, facilities, routes and visitor experience.
This helps your school, college, university or education organisation present stronger signals across Google Search, Maps and AI-assisted discovery, while giving real people a clearer way to understand your space before they visit.

We can also provide shareable links for email campaigns, social media, parent communications, student recruitment and internal use.
Can you publish education spaces to Google Street View?
Yes. Where suitable, we can publish indoor and outdoor Google Street View imagery to Google Maps.
This can help students, parents, visitors and staff discover and preview your education site through Google Search and Maps before they visit.
Do you capture student accommodation?
Yes. Student accommodation is often a key part of education virtual tour projects.
We can capture room types, communal kitchens, social spaces, entrances, amenities and surrounding routes so students and families can compare accommodation options before arrival.
How do you capture specialist spaces like laboratories, studios or workshops?
We adapt the capture process around each space.
Laboratories, studios, workshops, performance spaces and specialist teaching areas are planned with your team so we can follow access, safety, privacy and operational requirements.
Can point cloud scanning support estate planning?
Yes. Point cloud scanning provides accurate spatial data for buildings, rooms and complex education facilities.
It can support refurbishment planning, measured surveys, condition reviews, BIM workflows, space planning and long-term estate management.
How long does an education virtual tour project take?
Timelines depend on the number of buildings, the type of capture needed and site access.
A small school or single building may be captured quickly, while a large university, college group or multi-site estate may need several planned capture days. We schedule work around teaching, exams, open days and quieter access periods.
Do you work with multi-site education organisations?
Yes. We work with education organisations that need consistent virtual tour coverage across multiple buildings, campuses or locations.
This can include schools, colleges, universities, accommodation providers, training centres and education groups across the UK and Europe.
