New campus map makes it easier to find your way

The University of Washington will switch to the new interactive campus map in mid-December, following a soft-launch period that began in September. Once that switch happens, the main UW map page (uw.edu/maps) will include all the improved accessibility and wayfinding functionality listed below. 

Key features

• Wayfinding: Users can access turn-by-turn directions by clicking the directions and wayfinding icon in the Search area.

• Accessibility: The map is compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation, and includes options to highlight accessible routes, ramps and elevators. It also lists locations of accessible restrooms and parking spaces. 

• UW in 3D: The map uses high-quality 3D renders to provide a dynamic and immersive way to visualize campus spaces.

• Search: Users can search by building name or browse categories such as parking, athletics, libraries, dining and housing and access more information, such as 360-degree photos and virtual tours.

The new campus interactive map also includes 360-degree photos and virtual tours.

The map is an information hub for all aspects of campus life, with links driving users to current content across UW sites. This commitment to universal design ensures that students, faculty, staff and visitors with diverse abilities can confidently explore and engage with our campus community.

Note: Some wayfinding routes may be incomplete or inaccurate. Please report any issues with routing and other accessibility features. For more information on navigating the UW Seattle campus, visit the UW Facilities Access Guide.
