Campus Maps

The WWU Campus Map includes a list of spatial data layers that can be turned on / off as desired (using the “Layer List” icon). Many of these layers are 'group' layers, that can be 'expanded' to list the individual sub-layers.

The main map layers are:

• Accessibility (parking, routes, doors, etc. - building accessibility information is included in the building's pop-up)
• Art (Galleries, Sculptures and the Sculpture Tour)
• Bicycle Info (Bike racks, Walk Zones, recommend bicycle routes thru campus, and City of Bellingham bicycle routes)
• Bus Info (WTA bus routes and stops that are close to WWU)
• Computer Labs (ATUS and ResTek)
• Family Amenities (Changing and Lactation rooms)
• Food (Retail and Residential)
• Gender Neutral Restrooms
• Parking (Visitor Parking, Evening / Weekend Parking, Permit Parking, Summer Permit Parking, and Misc. (pay stations, motorcycle parking, loading zones, etc.)
• Safety (Emergency Phones, AED locations, Major Disaster Assembly Areas and Priority Snow Removal Routes
• Sustainable Features & Buildings
• Notable Trees on campus
• Construction (current projects)

A Legend for each layer can be viewed from the Legend icon.

In addition to the data layers, the WWU Campus Map includes spatial “Bookmarks” (zoom to a specific building, parking lot or key place on campus), a Search function (search by building, department, institute, etc.), and a Show Current Location icon (for mobile devices).

Many features on the map (buildings, parking lots, etc.) have a popup that can be opened by clicking on the feature. Popups contain additional information about the feature.

2. Download a Static map (from the above list)
3. Open the .pdf file, from your phone or tablet, using the Avenza Maps app

URL Parameters can be used with the WWU Campus Map to control the location of the map when it opens as well as the layers that are visible.

For zooming to a specific building, parking lot or key feature the URL parameter is #find=
For example: 

• https://www.wwu.edu/map/#find=AH 

This will zoom the map to the AH building (Arntzen Hall). Other examples include:

• https:/www.wwu.edu/map/#find=9G (for Parking Lot 9-G)
• https:/www.wwu.edu/map/#find=Red (for Red Square)

etc.

For turning specific data layers on, the URL parameter is #layers=
For example:

• https://www.wwu.edu/map/#layers=computer (to turn on the computer labs layer).

Multiple layers can be turned on at once by using a / between parameters:
