Paper
Developing a Campus-wide Base Map for Planning, Design, and Construction
Track: GIS Organization, Management, and Implementation
Author(s): Berent Pippert, Tobias Wolf

The 1,112-acre UCR campus is experiencing a growth cycle with a present enrollment of approximately 17,000 students that is expected to increase to 25,000 students by 2015-16. Currently UCR is comprised of over 570 buildings totaling 5.5 million GSF, which will increase to 11.8 million GSF to accommodate the growth. UCR decided to produce an accurate campus-wide base map to assist with planning, design, and construction. This base map will serve as the foundation for a campus-wide enterprise GIS that will integrate multiple departments, such as Police, Parking, and Environmental Health & Safety. The HDR team was selected to produce 6" digital color orthophotography, 1' contours, LIDAR, 3-D wire-frame of all buildings and associated base map products, at resolutions less than 1-foot. This data will allow UCR to conduct 3-D modeling and line of sight analysis, and will link to the campus Facilities Management System (FMS) used for space management.
