Celebrating 10 Years of Bringing Communities and Spaces Together
We're thrilled to announce a major milestone: Facilitron's 10th anniversary! Over the past decade, Facilitron has grown from a simple scheduling and reservations software into a comprehensive facility management system trusted by school districts nationwide.
A Decade of Innovation and Impact
Founded in July 2014 by CEO Jeff Benjamin, Facilitron emerged from a vision to improve how school districts share their buildings and grounds with their communities. What started as a humble initiative has now grown into the world's largest public spaces rental marketplace, partnering with public schools, colleges, churches, cities, and private facility owners nationwide. We’re proud to stand by our innovative business model, which is committed to protecting school district budgets by charging no out-of-pocket costs and providing long-term, data-driven partnerships.
Transforming Communities
Over the years, Facilitron has partnered with over 12,000 schools across 31 states, managing billions of square feet of facility space. We've helped schools generate additional revenue through rental programs, putting money back into their budgets while fostering meaningful relationships with surrounding communities.
That being said, the past decade hasn't been without challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic tested our resilience as community rentals came to a halt. Yet, we adapted swiftly, helping our partners manage pandemic-related programs and ensuring safe reopenings through contact tracing solutions. Our commitment to your success never wavered, and by 2023, we rebounded stronger than ever.
Looking Forward
“Our success is not just about technological advancements but also about the tangible difference we've made in communities across the country,” said CEO Jeff Benjamin, “Our passion has always been where we started, public school districts, and we're committed to helping bring money back into the classrooms and empowering school districts and communities.”
