As part of an integrated approach to wayfinding and campus navigation, an application was custom designed and built for use with on-site Cisco touch screen kiosks. These kiosks were intended to support visitors to campus, as well as new students along with creating an easy to update web based campus map. By combining existing databases of contact information, location data and other meta data, this project was able to produce a tool that allows easier connections and navigation on campus.

CONTACT ENTRIES
Modular application designed to expand with multiple locations and additional feed integrations.
The application was focused on three main sections, contact individuals, finding spaces, and navigating an urban campus. The application, running on a touch based Cisco Kiosk, allows the user to search for anything they need with whatever information they may have. This was accomplished by creating multiple indexes that could be updated and searched in real time.

The front end of the application was intended to be light and cross platform (web based). This required it to be built around existing online architecture, using a series of REST APIs and Handlebars templating.
