If you are using 2012 you can set an Installation deadline. I believe this makes the application show up in Software Center but will not install on its own until the deadline is reached. At least that is the case with software updates. I have not done this myself but thanks for the idea on how I should roll out Office 2013. I didn't even think of that. Be sure to change the time based option to client local time if you want to automatic install to kick off after hours. By default it is set to UTC. I did not catch that once and had software uninstall out of a computer lab prior to the end of the day.
