Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) took a small, measured approach to implementing ArcGIS Indoors and, in turn, got a headstart on complying with new Maryland state regulations, a working Indoor GIS system, and a trusted partner. 

This post highlights the phases of their project, the outcomes and how they're moving forward. 

Learn about trainings offered by Esri Academy to start learning about indoor GIS and ArcGIS Indoors as well as how to implement it within your college campus.

You only get one chance to make a good first impression - and a university’s online map can make or break how GIS is valued on campus. An easy to use, aesthetically pleasing, and informative map not only enhances the campus experience for visitors, students, faculty, and staff, it inspires our leaders to reimagine how GIS can improve university operations.

The University of Texas (UT) at Austin teamed up with Austin Community College to upgrade the online interactive UT Campus Map with the help of GIS interns.
