Give me your maps, your papers, your directions instructions yearning to lead, The lost guests of your teeming campus.

Seriously though,

We're currently reviewing our printed map available for guests and I have a question and a request:

-Has anyone attempting going paper map free and relying purely on their physical signage on grounds?  If so, what has the guest response been?

-Would anyone be interested in mailing me a sample of your printed map to add to our collection of interesting map-ish ideas?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

(apologies for the cheezy subject line).

  • Hey Melanie! We have transitioned to paperless maps, though we will print if a guest really wants one. We push people to download our app to use the interactive maps and features. We also have visuals throughout the atrium. I will email you a copy of our map (just the pdf print out). 

    I think the majority of the guests understand how paperless maps align with our mission of conservation. I believe we clearly communicate that with them via signage and direct contact with staff.
