[Athen] RE: Maps

[Lester, Patti]

Lorraine,

Our campus map is available on line as a jpg file, however, we wanted to enhance that access. So we took on a project of creating a tactile map booklet of the entire campus. Our campus is hundreds of acres- we serve over 45, 000 students. The map is composed of 20 tabloid size 11 X 17 sheets of raised tactile images and braille where one of those sheets is an overview of the entire campus with the remaining sheets representative of campus, broken into quadrants. The booklet includes pages that describe campus landmarks, streets, buildings, athletic fields, etc. We got the idea from Lisa McGill who was involved in creating a campus map of the Auraria Colorado campus. Having a graphic design artist on board made the project doable.

Best,

HI



We are looking at signage on campus and we spoke about our maps on line and in other formats.  Can anyone share what you have done to make your maps accessible online and other thoughts or recommendations.

Thanks



Lorraine
