Ellucian, a higher-education software and services provider, has opened its new headquarters in Reston.

The company is occupying about 98,000 square feet on three floors at 2003 Edmund Halley Drive.

Ellucian said the headquarters is designed to encourage collaboration among employees while also accommodating meetings and personal working spaces.

The space includes a game room, casual lounge spaces, a quiet room, a walk-up IT service desk and a dining area.

The office also is equipped with an innovation lab – a space that allows demonstration, experimentation and deployment of the new hardware and software.

Ellucian’s customers include more than 2,500 institutions in 50 countries with more than 18 million students.

The company provides student information systems, finance and human resources, recruiting, retention, analytics and advancement software.

Ellucian also supports higher-education institutions with a range of services, such as application software implementation, training, education, and management consulting.

The company was formed in 2012 in the merger of Datatel and Sungard Higher Education.
