The Central Campus Facilities Management Project was presented to Rad Maps, Inc. by Bob Stafford, who is employed by the Texas State University Facilities Department, and began on February 12, 2007. Since then, we have been working hard toward the completion of our objectives.
In this report, we have monitored our progress in each of the following objectives: data collection, pre-processing data, data analysis/interpretation and webpage. This report will provide descriptions of the work that we have completed, the work in progress and the work still needing to be finished for each of these objectives.

The purpose remains to create a GIS system for mapping and cataloguing buildings so as to help managers and coordinators make more informed decisions regarding maintenance, renovation and planning of new facilities. Rad Maps, Inc. will provide the user with a spatial model of every floor of 7 specific buildings in Central Campus in which the user will be able to navigate between rooms and floors with attribute data that will describe floor type, room type and department type within a building. With this information readily available, the Facilities Management Department will be able to make more informed decisions about cost and time requirements of each job.

The geographic extent of the Rad Maps, Inc. study is limited to the Agriculture, Centennial Hall, Evans Liberal Arts, Old Main, ASB, Education and Psychology buildings on the Texas State University Campus.

This progress report will focus on the completion of certain objectives within the project such as:

The Central Campus Facilities Management Project is running smoothly and we anticipate all tasks to be completed as requested by May 4, 2007. The data pre-processing has taken a week longer than we intended but we still predict the completion of all 7 buildings. With the finishing of this project, Rad Maps, Inc. hopes that you will be able to make much more informed decisions in the future regarding facilities management. We also hope you will be able to use these 7 buildings as models to make facilities management easier for all of campus.
