Week Three

In week three, research on Drexel's campus continued. While some communications for floor plans are still ongoing, Recreation Center floor plans were obtained. Below is the first of three floors in the Recreation Center.

Drexel University Recreation Center: First Floor

The following website was also found: http://drexel.edu/facilities/design/, which allows users to view floor plans for many Drexel buildings. However, the quality of the images makes them illegible, so further work needs to be done to obtain quality prints. Emails to the appropriate departments currently remain unanswered.

Work has also begun to generate small descriptions and any relevant hours of each building. Any major department or office that the building houses is also being listed. This will make data entry relatively easy for future programming.

Basic programming is set to begin with a stock Drexel map until a suitable version can be obtained. Graphic design is also beginning on the floor plans to alter them to Drexel Interactive Map's specifications. The current plan includes highlighting a room when it is searched for, so outlines of each room will need to be made. It is expected that a rough prototype, complete with clickable buildings, will be operational in the coming weeks.
