[civsa] Campus Maps

[Barb Lieske]

Hi Carrie -- An outside firm was hired to work on Valparaiso University's
master plan  2 years ago which takes us to 2032.  They provided us with the
files for a campus map so that we can add the buildings/changes to the map
as the master plan is implemented.

I coordinated the creation of our previous campus map about 20 years ago
and it's quite labor-intensive but worth it. We needed one -- badly -- and
I hired a professional map company to take us through the process. We were
not building a lot at the time, so I didn't worry about updates (and the
updates ended up being quite simple to make, actually). But I would
recommend you get bids from a variety of firms and then write into the
project that the map be provided in an updateable format so you can make
changes in-house. If they're not willing to do that, they're not the firm
to use.

Another option: do you have a cartography program at Bellarmine? If so,
could this be a student internship project? Good luck!  Barb
