How School Virtual Tour Pricing Works

Base Tour Pricing

Matterport 3D virtual tours are priced based on facility size and complexity. Every project includes the 3D walkthrough, embed code, and shareable link.

$750+

Single Building

K-12, preschool, small school

$2,000+

Campus Package

Multiple buildings, 8-12 spaces

$5,000+

Full Campus

University, large campus

Phased Approach (Recommended)

We recommend starting with 8-12 key spaces that make the biggest impact on enrollment and parent engagement, then expanding coverage over time. This spreads the investment across budget cycles.

Phase 1: Admissions center, signature classroom, library, gym, cafeteria, main hallway

Phase 2: Additional classrooms, labs, offices, outdoor facilities

Phase 3: Full campus coverage with aerial drone tour

What Affects the Price?

  • 1. Total square footage to be scanned
  • 2. Number of distinct buildings
  • 3. Indoor vs outdoor coverage needed
  • 4. Add-on deliverables (floor plans, drone, video)
  • 5. Timeline (standard vs rush delivery)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a school virtual tour cost?
School virtual tour pricing depends on the type and size of the facility. Small K-12 schools (under 5,000 sqft) start at $750. Most K-12 school buildings (10,000-20,000 sqft) range from $2,500 to $4,000. Multi-building campus packages for universities start at $2,500. Large campus projects with 5+ buildings typically range from $5,000 to $10,000+. Hosting is $20/month per active tour.
What is included in the base price?
The base price includes professional Matterport scanning, processing, a shareable 3D tour link, and an embed code for your school website. Hosting ($20/month), schematic floor plans (+$50), guided walkthrough videos (+$150/minute), and aerial drone tours ($1,500+) are available as add-ons.
Can schools use DOE budget to pay for virtual tours?
Yes. THE FUTURE 3D is an NYC DOE Approved Vendor (ID: #THE770638). NYC public schools can use their existing DOE technology budget to hire us directly through the DOE procurement system, simplifying the purchasing process.
Is there a discount for scanning multiple buildings?
Yes. Multi-building campus projects receive volume pricing. A phased approach (starting with 8-12 key spaces and expanding over time) is recommended for budget flexibility. Contact us for a custom campus package quote.
How long does it take to scan a school?
A single K-12 school building (20,000-50,000 sqft) typically takes 1-2 days. A university campus with 8-12 key spaces takes 2-3 days. Comprehensive full-campus scans of large universities may take 5-10 days depending on the number of buildings.
Do we need to close the school during scanning?
No. Matterport scanning is non-disruptive and can be done during school hours, after hours, or on weekends. We coordinate with your administration to minimize disruption. Weekend and holiday scanning is available at no additional charge.
What add-on services are available for schools?
Available add-ons include: schematic floor plans (+$50), aerial drone campus tours ($1,500+), Google Maps Street View publishing (included with tour), guided walkthrough videos (+$150/minute), and 3D laser scanning for safety documentation ($0.20-$0.70/sqft). All add-ons are optional.
