360 View Highlights Summer Window for Matterport 3D Virtual Tours at UK Schools and Universities

LONDON - July 31, 2026 - PRLog -- 360 View Virtual Tours is highlighting the UK summer holiday period as a practical opportunity for schools, colleges and universities to create or update Matterport 3D virtual tours while buildings and campuses are quieter.
During term time, classrooms are in use, corridors are busy and access must be planned around students, staff and daily activities. Summer can make it easier to capture larger areas with less disruption, while allowing completed tours to be ready for autumn open days, admissions activity and the new academic year.
Gabriel Ariton, Founder and Creative Director of 360 View Virtual Tours, said:
"Education buildings can be challenging to capture during term time. Summer often provides a better opportunity because many institutions are already using the quieter period for maintenance and preparation for September."
For prospective pupils, students and parents, a Matterport tour can offer a clearer sense of an institution before an open day or visit. Visitors can explore teaching spaces, libraries, sports facilities, accommodation and communal areas online, helping them understand the environment and facilities in context.
This can be especially useful for families comparing several schools, students travelling from elsewhere in the UK and international applicants who may not be able to visit every institution they are considering.
A physical open day happens at a specific time. A virtual campus remains available throughout the year. Prospective students can explore before deciding to visit, revisit spaces afterwards and share the campus with family members who could not attend.
The same digital environment can support new students by helping them become familiar with buildings and facilities before arrival. Universities and colleges can also use virtual spaces for induction and orientation.
"Choosing a school or university is a significant decision, and much of that research now happens online before someone arrives on site," Ariton added. "A good virtual tour can help people understand the environment earlier and see the facilities as part of the wider campus."
360 View uses Matterport Pro3 technology for larger buildings and campuses and provides virtual tour and spatial capture services across London and the UK.
Where suitable access is available, the summer break can provide a practical window to capture education spaces before campuses become busier again in September.
