Campus maps serve many audiences: students want to find classes, computer labs, and learning centers. They need banking, shopping, buses, and shuttles off campus. Parents want to find a campus tour or their kid’s residence hall. The community wants to attend lectures and performances and access your public library. Everyone needs PARKING!! Building entrance ramps, elevators, emergency phones, and all-gender bathrooms. 360 photos and video. And the best outdoor recreation options in the state. There is so much data!
