22Miles Wayfinding at the University of Alabama: A Case Study in Higher Ed Navigation
Navigation challenges can impact how people experience large facilities. This video shows how interactive 3D maps, real-time event updates, and accessible tools improve campus navigation at the University of Alabama's Culverhouse College of Business. See how digital wayfinding helps visitors stay on track while enhancing the overall experience.
What navigation challenges did the University of Alabama need to solve?
The Culverhouse College of Business at the University of Alabama spans 4 buildings, with 14 floors and around 700 destinations. Before 22Miles, this scale made it difficult for people to quickly find classrooms, offices, and event locations.
Students, staff, and visitors often had to rely on static maps, printed signs, or asking for directions. This slowed people down, created confusion for new visitors, and made it harder to keep up with frequent room changes and events. The college needed a more flexible, digital way to guide people through a complex environment and keep information current.
How does 22Miles wayfinding improve campus navigation?
22Miles helps the Culverhouse College of Business reimagine how people move through its 4 buildings and 14 floors by combining several capabilities into one system:
- 3D navigation: Interactive 3D maps guide users step by step to any of the 700 destinations, making it easier to understand where they are and where they’re going.
- Real-time event updates: Events, room assignments, and schedules can be updated on the fly, so people see current information instead of outdated printed signs.
- Spanish language option: Users can switch to Spanish, helping the college better serve a more diverse campus community.
- ADA compliance: The system is designed to support accessibility needs, helping ensure that navigation works for users with disabilities.
- Easy-to-update displays with insights: Campus staff can quickly update content on digital displays and gain insights into usage, which helps them continuously refine the wayfinding experience.
Together, these features reduce confusion, save time, and create a more intuitive way to move around a large, complex academic environment.
