University Support Services
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
About
The GIS team operates as both a platform (secure, reliable GIS services) and a product team (maps, apps, data products, analytics). We support departments university wide with in house enterprise service deployments and app development and maintenance.
Our most used applications include the Campus Map, UPark, and MyClassMap, with a handful of internal-use only tools as well for security or facilities management.
