A visual representation displaying the geographical layout of the University of Maine’s Orono campus, including buildings, roads, pathways, parking areas, and landmarks. This resource is often available in both physical and digital formats, assisting individuals in navigating the grounds and locating specific destinations. The graphic aid serves as a directory, providing a spatial understanding of the university’s environment.
Accessibility and wayfinding are significantly enhanced through such a comprehensive directory. The illustrative aid enables efficient movement across the campus, reducing time spent searching for locations and minimizing potential disorientation, especially for new students, visitors, and staff. Historically, these directional tools have evolved from basic hand-drawn illustrations to interactive, digitally-integrated systems, reflecting advances in cartography and information technology, thereby greatly contributing to the overall user experience.
