GIS Step by Step - Part 2a. The step-by-step development
of a GIS at Texas Tech. The evolution from manual drawing of campus base
maps
and
landscape development plans to today's digital mapping programs and web-based
GIS using Autodesk Map, Land Desktop, and MapGuide. The emphasis was on the
evolution of this system over time and the Texas Tech philosophy of GIS development.
It included information on products, staffing requirements,
and use of consultants at each step along the way. Presented by Arthur
Glick.
GIS Step by Step - Part 2b. Texas Tech GIS is a work in
progress. Attendees at NCCC 2003 were invited to watch the fledgling TTU

Integration of Master Plans Through GIS - Update on the Infrastructure
Master Plan. The technology being used to generate a campus infrastructure
master plan by integrating land use plans, landscape plans, infrastructure

maintenance, budgeting, and capital improvements ... current technology available,
the process used to integrate multiple plans into one "smart map," what one
can expect with a final product, how to maintain and update the map once

Deep in iSpace - Stanford's Space Management Tool for Space Coordinators. Stanford
University has implemented FAMIS Space Management and, through a development
partnership, FAMIS has enhanced the application to meet the needs of Stanford's

a year. A custom web-based tool was created for space coordinators to enter
required information. The project was the result of collaboration among three
campus departments — Facilities Operations, School of Medicine, and
the Office of Research Administration. Users can access data for ad hoc reporting
through
a Brio reportmart environment and a variety of graphic reports (floor plans).
