College of Charleston Launches New Digital Campus Map
A new digital campus map will help visitors explore campus locations.
The College of Charleston has launched a digital campus map that will help visitors explore various campus locations in a virtual way. The map is available at map.charleston.edu and can be accessed on any smartphone or computer.
“The digital map will help make the College of Charleston campus more accessible to everyone,” says Zach Zaloumis, project manager with the Division of Information Technology.
The map features 3-D renderings of campus buildings and the surrounding landscape. Users can access photos of the buildings and brief descriptions of each, not only on the main campus but at Harbor Walk, Avery Research Center, West Edge, Ft. Johnson Marine Science Center, Patriots Point Sports Complex, Sailing Center and Stono Preserve.
The map showcases accessibility features such as:
- Being operable with a keyboard – the map does not require a mouse to navigate in a logical progression that makes sense to users.
- Construction zones on campus.
The new campus map also seamlessly integrates with the campus calendar. If you search for “science” on the campus map, the search will not only return a list of buildings connected to the sciences, but also an event title with the name associated with it.
