University Campus Case Studies
Work is underway importing the floor plans of over 80 buildings within the University of Oxford to give staff, student and visitors indoor and outdoor navigation and location-based information around the city centre. Administrative staff will also use the interactive maps to overlay other non-public information in order to help improve operational efficiencies.
University of Oxford
This is one of our most recent projects deploying across all channels: web, Smartphone and interactive kiosks/totems. Real-time study space and computer lab availability guides students to the least congested areas. Further deployment phases will include the addition of building floor plans and other features.
University of Birmingham
The University has three campuses
(Colchester, Southend and Loughton). Colchester (our very first project in 2012) is a notoriously tricky campus to navigate, especially for impaired mobility users (built into a valley, with lifts that don't all stop at each floor), so a true test for the routing algorithms. The resulting app FindYourWay@Essex also offers campus tours, real time computer lab/printer availability, links to timetable and more.

The University of Worcester is located near and within the city of Worcester. The project involved the import of over 100 floorplans and the creation of a web and indoor touchscreen kiosks. Since some buildings are within the city centre, end-to-end paths can be from buildings within the city centre to rooms within buildings on the main University campus. Events and real-time transport information are also consolidated for the users.

The University of Hertfordshire
has three campuses around Hatfield. We deployed the WAi2Go platform in order to provide way-finding across and within the campuses. In addition, real-time parking and computer lab availability is shown as dynamic interactive icons on the map. The extensive WAi2Go APIs are used to integrate the WAi2Go functionality within the University student app that is developed in-house.
