This presentation outlines steps taken to establish an administrative system for managing spatial data related to the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, Arizona. Experiences to date include - Campuswide education, outreach, and coordination - A survey project resulting in a GIS basemap and digital orthophotos - Applications development (campus planning, collaboration with academic departments) Discussion issues will include both organizational topics (e.g., the lack of precedent for using GIS at such a detailed scale, resistance to new technology/methods, resistance to integrating systems/data, budgeting), and technical topics (e.g., distribution of data, network issues, coordinate registration).
