Interactive Campus Map Help

The Interactive Campus Map is a new way to locate information on the University of Oregon campus. You can precisely locate and find further information about buildings, classrooms, departments, programs, offices, eateries, residence halls, trees, and art on campus. You can search for entries by name or by using keywords. You can also simply browse the map and see alternate views by turning on and off map themes such as "Air Photo."
