Unlocking Campus ROI: Why Investing in a RecRe Box is a Smart Move
Campus administrators continually face the challenge of meeting evolving student needs within budget constraints. One innovative solution offering significant returns is RecRe’s automated inventory lockers. Here’s why introducing RecRe to your campus enhances efficiency, saves money, and boosts student engagement.
Extend Facility Hours Without Increasing Staff
RecRe lockers complement your existing staffing, allowing your shared spaces to remain accessible throughout extended building hours, not limited by staff availability. Whether it’s a game room, esports lounge, or billiards hall, RecRe enables these areas to stay open 24 hours a day or as long as the building is open, all at the cost equivalent to just one minimum-wage hour per day.
This image above is our RecRe 312, which manages all the inventory for the Georgia Tech Student Union grad lounge, which is open and active 24/7 now that they have a RecRe locker that keeps all of the students accountable to everything from games to electronics to billiards gear.
Cost-Effective Late-Night Student Engagement
Reduce Operational Waste and Costs
By automating inventory distribution, RecRe significantly reduces unnecessary staffing hours. With campus budgets continually tightening, institutions are always searching for innovative ways to trim specific expenses without compromising quality or access. RecRe has a proven track record of saving campuses tens of thousands of dollars annually by augmenting operational hours efficiently.
Freeing Student Employees for Meaningful Tasks
With RecRe handling inventory access, student employees previously tied to desk duties are freed for more engaging, impactful roles. This leads to enhanced job satisfaction and more dynamic campus employment opportunities.
At Boise State University, RecRe boxes in their recreation center led to a direct improvement in student employee retention, as staff were able to augment their desks, making the staff role much more fulfilling. Read more about the outcomes of RecRe at Boise State.
Eliminating Inventory Bottlenecks
Campus offices often unintentionally become storage spaces, causing logistical inefficiencies. RecRe lockers streamline inventory access and management, clearing office space and ensuring seamless availability without administrative delays.
Our partners at Ole Miss have successfully used RecRe to clear out all the inventory they had in their student activities and student engagement offices into two RecRe lockers in their student union. They leverage our new feature, multiple items in a single cubby, which allows them to gain even more value from each of their RecRe boxes.
End the “Lost Gear” Debate
RecRe’s integrated inventory management system tracks gear usage transparently, eliminating disputes over misplaced items. Students and administrators benefit from clear accountability, reducing friction and enhancing trust.

High-Visibility Marketing and Campus Engagement
Placing RecRe lockers in highly visible areas demonstrates your institution’s commitment to student engagement and accessibility. Prospective and current students immediately perceive a vibrant, inclusive campus community, positively influencing enrollment decisions and retention.
Direct Financial Savings for Students
RecRe lockers help students and families save significantly. Instead of purchasing everyday items like vacuums, toolkits, steamers, or cleaning supplies, students can borrow from lockers freely available on campus. With potentially thousands of students benefiting, the collective savings are substantial.
A Win-Win Proposition
The RecRe locker system offers exceptional value to both students and administrators. Students enjoy greater access to resources fostering community building and memorable campus experiences. Administrators benefit from improved efficiency, reduced operational costs, and increased accountability, all without additional workload.
