During this overview, the University of Kentucky will share their journey and demo custom mapping solutions for effective campus planning and navigation. Their approach of “smashing silos with GIS” connects systems through one single interface and is built on a foundation of Lean best practices. This will be demonstrated through discussion of the UK enterprise database design, robust map template libraries, and one-piece-flow procedures that are becoming intertwined throughout multiple Facilities areas.
