GIS for Campus Administration

GIS is an important tool for the business of education as well as a great learning tool. Facilities managers have maintained CAD-based maps of their campuses for many years, but now they are using GIS to add intelligence such as room capacity, available times and technology infrastructure, to make better use of campus facilities.

In addition, universities use GIS to map out their data on new student recruiting or alumni giving. Other administrative branches of a campus that use GIS include campus police, telecommunications, real estate management, grounds management, hazardous waste tracking, and student housing.
