Initiating Campus GIS Mapping: Baylor, TCU, and TCC's Paths to Success
Track: Education
Authors: Chris Akin

GIS continues to be increasingly utilized by college campuses. But not all paths to success are the same. Baylor University, Texas Christian University, and Tarrant County College tackled different projects and 'quick wins' to initiate their campus GIS endeavors, including capturing as-built utility info, encroachment/easement surveys, game day operations, and public safety maps. Web mapping apps, CAD-GIS conversions, GPS collection standards, field validation…and that’s only the beginning!
