Well, after a long break, here’s a blog post from your very own CTO.
Navigating a college campus can be a daunting task, especially for new students, visitors, or anyone unfamiliar with the layout. With sprawling grounds, multiple buildings, and countless pathways, getting from one point to another can be confusing and time-consuming. And with campus tours often only providing a snapshot of the area, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure about how to get around.
• Large and Complex Layouts: Many colleges feature vast campuses with multiple buildings, departments, and facilities spread over large areas. For first-year students or those on their first visit, this can make it difficult to find the right classrooms, lecture halls, or offices.
• Lack of Clear Signage: Despite the best efforts of colleges to put up maps or directional signs, they often don’t provide enough information to easily guide someone to their destination. Sometimes, signs are hard to read or placed in confusing locations, leading to more frustration.
• Changing Campus Spaces: College campuses are dynamic spaces with buildings and services constantly evolving. New structures might be under construction, old ones are repurposed, and departments may change their locations. Keeping up with these changes can add another layer of complexity for students and visitors.
• Time Pressure: Between classes, meetings, and extracurricular activities, students often find themselves in a rush. When they are already late, navigating the campus can feel like a stressful challenge that only adds to their anxiety.
