Abstract

Enterprise GIS and Facility Management at Argonne National Laboratory
Track: Facilities
Authors: Jill Naumes, Hal Greenwood

A pilot project, undertaken to create a web-based map viewer of Argonne National Laboratory's campus information, revealed substantial investment was necessary in hardware, software, data collection and maintenance, in order to build a proper GIS foundation for the laboratory community. In two years, Argonne has assembled an enterprise GIS, collected and field-verified campus utility data with GPS (global positioning system) units, and released two different campus map viewer applications. This presentation will focus on the collaborative process, steps taken and lessons learned to build and manage an enterprise level GIS at Argonne National Laboratory.
