Applications of GIS to Enhance Campus Management System

Key applications of GIS in campus management

We can compare a university campus to a miniature city. The large student population and the vast number of departments spread across an extensive land area make it mandatory to have real-time monitoring and managing of the various facilities within the campus. This would ensure that the activities in the campus continue without any hurdles. There has to be a facility manager to oversee the existing assets of the campus, manage its further growth, and incorporate the increasing technological requirements. It can help to monitor the cables and underground pipelines and also generate alerts if any unexpected issues arise in the infrastructure.

GIS provides a variety of spatial data to register the position of facilities within the campus. It can map the location of buildings, power poles, recreation spaces, and other facilities. The universities can realign the facilities to rescue the operational costs and ensure easy reach for the facilities from any location within the campus.

Spatial data can provide a holistic perspective of the campus facilities and also support the management to plan and deploy effective emergency response measures. The accurate visualization of buildings and facilities gives a clear insight into the infrastructure layout and identify the inefficiencies.

3D GIS models can give a better representation of geographic terrain. The intuitive mapping capabilities will enhance the analysis, planning, and design of the infrastructure. The technique helps to generate real 3D GIS models for improving the quality of community planning.

Another benefit of GIS is the ability of spatial data to support the quality of asset management. It also strengthens the data management workflow. The facilities manager can use the GIS with other tools like BIM and CAD to increase its effectiveness. By integrating with multimedia and the Internet of Things, GIS can help in implementing smart campuses.

GIS also provides the facilities manager with predictive capabilities to identify the possibilities of breakdowns or defects. They can initiate action in advance and avoid unnecessary emergencies or downtimes within the campus.

Conclusion

GIS is an invaluable tool in campus management by providing accurate spatial data to collect and analyze location information of the campuses. The facility managers can use the spatial data for devising techniques that support the smooth operation of the campus and helps in further campus development. The combination of GIS with BIM and IoT can create 3D models for efficient planning, construction, and monitoring of campuses. This can also help authorities to deploy fully functional smart campuses that work in tandem with technological advancements.
