Campus Maps
Campus mapping services are, by far, the largest source of revenue for our firm. It has been at the very core of mapformation's sales and promotional efforts since our firm's inception...and our designers were developing campus map graphics for educational clients as early as 1994-1995. Over 95 percent of our firm's campus mapping designs have been created for college and university clients to date, though we are also very interested in developing corporate and medical campus maps as well.
Our firm's campus mapping services can essentially be broken into two primary categories of design:
- 2D perspective campus maps - Also sometimes referred to as "overhead" maps, these images will show the footprints of buildings within a property boundary, as well as sidewalks, parking accommodations, nearby streets, and just about any other types of details that clients desire. They are very popular with individuals in Facilities Management, Public Safety and Accessibility Services departments, as well as individuals who prefer to navigate using street names and distances, as opposed to visual landmarks. 2D perspective maps are relatively fast and affordable to develop, depending upon the quality of reference material provided for a project.
- 3D perspective campus maps - Also commonly referred to as "oblique" or "illustrated" maps, these images will showcase a property from a very particular direction and steepness, revealing a great wealth of architectural detail and topographical features. These maps tend to be of particular interest to Public Relations and Admissions personnel who are looking for their campus map to showcase the beauty of their property, as well as to aid individuals who tend to navigate via landmarks and other visual references, as opposed to street names and distances. They cost a great deal more than their 2D perspective counterparts to develop, but their beauty more than makes up for their added costs.
