The big question: *“Where do I go?”* In 2025, five institutions — Galileo, Lyon 1, Lyon 2, Lyon 3 and the Sorbonne Nouvelle University — chose Evelity to answer this question in a modern, inclusive and universal way. The verdict is clear: regardless of the campus type, size, age or level of communication effort, **Evelity generates immediate usage, autonomy and satisfaction**. And the data speaks for itself…   ## **1. Galileo - Campus Delta: orientation on a new campus made easy from day one** **![@Galileo Global Education](https://blog.evelity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/68c97824cfd80dad104346c5_DSCF3439-min-p-1080.jpg?width=1080&height=810&name=68c97824cfd80dad104346c5_DSCF3439-min-p-1080.jpg)**   ### **Context: an entirely new campus** With **3,600 students** all discovering a new site at the same time, Galileo faced a specific challenge: to enable everyone to find their way instantly in a 100% new environment. ### **Results: an exceptional adoption rate** - **1,664 unique users** - **46.2% adoption rate** - a record, perfectly logical: everyone was discovering the campus - **5,900 map explorations**, or **3.5 per user** - **776 guided tours launched** ### **Why it works: new campus + clear communication** Evelity was integrated into the welcome tour. The benefit is immediate: students don't have to waste time deciphering a new place, and the school eliminates the "disoriented" phase of the new school year. ➡️ **What Galileo proves: on a new campus, Evelity becomes the reference tool from day one.**   ## **2. Lyon 2 - Porte des Alpes: the "large campus" effect amplifies usage** ### **Context: a huge site, 26 buildings, 10 km of walkways** With its **27,000 students**, Lyon 2 is a campus where distance and dispersed locations naturally generate a need for assistance. ### **Results: impressive adoption** - **2,166 unique users** - **8% adoption rate** - **10,918 map explorations** (5 per user) - **1,914 guided tours launched** ### **Communication: a key success factor** Stickers, posters, kakemonos, back-to-school events and social network posts triggered an **explosion in usage from the first week of September**. ➡️ **What Lyon 2 proves: the larger the campus, the more indispensable Evelity becomes - and the data confirms it.**   ## **3. Lyon 3 - Multi-sites: when growth takes hold over several years** ![Evelity à Lyon3](https://blog.evelity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image%202.png?width=2160&height=2160&name=image%202.png) ### **Context: deployment spread over 3 years, 3 different sites** Lyon 3 first equipped the Manufacture des Tabacs (2023), then progressively the Quais (2024) and finally all sites. ### **Results: highest volume adoption ever** - **3,557 unique users** - **12.7% adoption rate** - out of 28,000 students - **21,323 map explorations** (6 per user!) - **2,387 guides** ### **Structured communication for student integration** This campus has integrated Evelity particularly well into its welcome program: - stickers, wall plaques, posters, TV spots, social networking posts - participation in open days and induction days - inclusion in student publications and on the website, - recurring communication. The result: **massive and lasting adoption**, year after year. ➡️ **What Lyon 3 proves: the more integrated and continuous the communication, the more Evelity becomes a natural reflex for students.**   ## **4. Université Sorbonne Nouvelle: immediate adoption on a modern campus** **![@Université Sorbonne Nouvelle](https://blog.evelity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/capture-d-ecran-2024-03-26-a-15-31-46.png?width=757&height=464&name=capture-d-ecran-2024-03-26-a-15-31-46.png)**   ### **Context: a demanding, busy campus** With **15,000 students**, including 4,000 newcomers, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle has a modern, densely-populated campus where orientation plays a central role in the daily experience. ### **Results: a highly encouraging user dynamic** - **634 unique users** - **4.2% adoption rate** - **1,794 map explorations** - **229 directions launched** Evelity has rapidly become a practical tool for finding your way around the **317 points of interest** and pathways on campus. ### **Communication: a mobilizing lever** Thanks to posters and flyers distributed on site, **students immediately adopted the application**, generating peaks in usage from the very first days. ➡️ **What Université Sorbonne Nouvelle has proved: Evelity immediately finds its place as soon as it is made available, even on a contemporary campus already well structured with well thought-out signage.**   ## **5. Lyon 1 - Rockefeller Campus: regular use on a dense, historic campus** **![@Université Lyon 1 Site Rockefeller](https://blog.evelity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Domaine%20Rockefeller%201%20site.jpg?width=800&height=531&name=Domaine%20Rockefeller%201%20site.jpg)**   ### **Context: an old, complex campus** With **15,000 students**, the Rockefeller site is an architecturally dense complex, with historic buildings and major flows linked to the healthcare sector. ### **Results: solid, consistent usage** - **1,052 users** - **7% adoption rate** - **5,426 map explorations** (5 per user) - **742 guided tours launched** ### **Communication: direct impact on adoption** Posters, kakemonos and information points made a major contribution to the increase in usage from the end of August onwards. The effect is visible: **peaks in usage coincide with times when students need to find their way around quickly (CM, TD, mock exams, etc.)**. ➡️ **What Lyon 1 proves: even on an old campus, students use Evelity every week, because the tool simplifies recurrent travel.**   [👉 ](https://lp.evelity.com/fr/accessibilite-campus-universite?hsLang=fr)[Get in touch with our team to discuss your project](https://share.hsforms.com/1UChS0vHUSNGgsC9QCCunbw5cn8v) 👉 [Visit the Evelity page dedicated to higher education](https://lp.evelity.com/en/university-campuses-wayfinding-for-all?hsLang=en)     ## Related Articles [![Lyon Medical University: an accessible campus!](https://blog.evelity.com/hubfs/98794659459.jpg)](https://blog.evelity.com/en/university-lyon-an-accessible-campus?hsLang=en) [Testimonials](https://blog.evelity.com/en/tag/testimonials) ### [Lyon Medical University: an accessible campus!](https://blog.evelity.com/en/university-lyon-an-accessible-campus?hsLang=en) Lyon's university medical campus was the scene of Evelity's first field tests in early 2019.
