LBNL is a pretty big place. If you're an employee who hasn't been around forever, you've probably wandered past buildings and wondered what kind of cool science goes on in there. And if you're a member of the community, outside of tours and websites, you might just get glimpses of buildings and wonder about them.
We're getting ready to change that.
IT, Facilities, and Public Affairs are working with a company that provides highly detailed interactive maps to college campuses that are filled with interesting information. We hope to have this project completed by late Fall 2012.
The project will come in phases, with a new 3-d color campus map replacing our existing static campus map, followed by layering of many kinds of content about what goes on in our buildings, what divisions are where, and more.
Of course, it's mobile enabled, and you'll be able to download this map as an app or use it as a web app on your mobile device - and you'll be able to see your current location on the map while you're here at the lab.
Over time, we'll continue to add more content to the map.
When we get our first renderings, I'll post again.
I'm really excited about a new map for the lab that helps tell the story of the great work that goes on here, as well as helping you find your way around.
