Campus map

Interactive campus map

We have online interactive campus and floor maps. Locations and directions are on the left navigation menu when using a computer; use the buttons labeled Departments or Buildings. If using a mobile device the map will prompt you to fill in where you are and where you want to go on campus.

The interactive maps provide step-by-step directions to your destination. You can select the department or building you need, and a moving route marker leads you turn-by-turn to your destination.
