Building Information
The Find a Building panel in the top left offers two methods for locating a building on campus.
- Building List
- This tab shows a dropdown with an alphabetical list of the primary campus buildings.
- You can select a building by scrolling through the list or you can begin typing the name of a building in the dropdown box. As you type it will filter the list to show buildings that match the text you have entered.
- Search For A Building
- This tab features a search box that will also show you matching results as you type.
- You must click the Search button to trigger the search and view the results.
- You can also search for words without any exact matches if you want to see multiple results or search for an alternative building name or other location.
- For example, to see all the results for "Jesse", type "Jesse" and hit the space bar twice, then click the Search button. There will be two results, one for Jesse Hall and the other for Memorial Student Union, where Jesse Wrench Auditorium is located.
- If only one match is found, the map will zoom directly to the building. If multiple results are returned, the map will zoom to show them all and they will each be listed in the result table.
- Click any row in the result table to view that specific building.
Link to a Building on the Map
Whenever a building is selected on the map, a textbox will be displayed at the bottom of the Find a Building panel. Click anywhere in the textbox to select the URL text. Use [Ctrl + C] to copy the selected URL, then paste it in any email or in the address bar of your browser.
