Wayfinding, navigation and spatial AI for university campuses and colleges
Guide students, visitors and staff across your buildings — multi-building indoor/outdoor navigation, campus life management and accessibility.
CASE STUDY
The Paris Polytechnique Institute deployed Wemap on its multiple campuses to guide thousands of new students each year between lecture halls, libraries and residences. The map is also reused for open days, with points of interest updated independently via Wemap Pro.

CHALLENGES
Three campus challenges that Wemap solves.
Students lost on campus
"Every year, thousands of applicants and new students get lost between buildings and lecture halls."
Wemap guides students and visitors from building to building, indoor and outdoor, with a single step-by-step route. No break between outdoor and indoor.
Stands hard to find
"During open days, our visitors can't find the stands or presentation rooms."
Wemap Pro lets you publish a temporary event map — stands, rooms, schedules — in hours, with no code. Updated independently by the team.
Inconsistent accessibility
"We can't guarantee a consistent accessible route across a campus with several generations of buildings."
Wemap offers configurable accessibility profiles — stair avoidance, lift and ramp priority. A single deployment for the whole campus.
CAPABILITIES
The Wemap capabilities that make the difference in Higher Education.
Multi-building indoor & outdoor navigation
Georeferenced indoor maps of every building — lecture halls, classrooms, libraries, services — linked by outdoor route calculation between buildings. Multi-profile (students, visitors, staff), native multi-floor, full accessibility.
For a large university campus — seamless wayfinding across multiple buildings, differentiated student/visitor/staff profiles.
Improved accessibility
Indoor and outdoor vision-based positioning and step-by-step guidance featuring accessibility profiles (for people with reduced mobility) and audio instructions. Developed in collaboration with leading accessibility experts and integrated into multi-site applications.
For two regional university campuses, the implementation of tailored routes based on OpenStreetMap data.
Dynamic data and information – automatic updates
Integration with educational information systems (LMS) to automatically update maps with campus room and activity details. Real-time data for site access (public transport). Map updates and customization for specific events (open days, forums, etc.).
For campuses in the Île-de-France region: public transport access routes with real-time departure times.
Multi-channel deployment
Your interactive maps and associated services are deployed within your campus applications and on your websites. They are customized for different user profiles, usable in print format, and integrable by your partners (via iFrame or deep-linking APIs) to reach the widest possible audience.
For our partner Edusign, the Wemap SDK made it possible to integrate campus maps into a student app in just a few hours.
