Campus maps

Find the room, not just the building.

The new UOW Campus Map takes you inside. Selected buildings now have floor plans for every level, with directions that can lead you around stairs and obstacles right to the door you need.

What's new in the Campus Map

Floor plans, level by level

Zoom into a mapped building and the map shows every room, corridor, stairwell, lift and toilet on each level. Use the floor selector on the right to move up and down, the same way you'd take the stairs.

Room numbers are labelled on the plan, so you can check you're in the right place before you knock. Rooms are colour coded by type, so you can spot a lab, a meeting room, the lifts or the nearest toilet at a glance.

What the colours mean

  • Learning spaces
  • Labs
  • Offices
  • Meeting rooms
  • Toilets
  • Lifts
  • Stairs
  • Corridors and other spaces

Directions, with or without stairs

Get walking directions to any building, room or place on the map. Inside mapped buildings, the route carries on past the front door.

If you use a wheelchair, push a pram, carry equipment or just want to skip the stairs, turn on Avoid stairs and obstacles in Settings and your directions will change to suit.

Points of interest at a glance

Hungry, need a toilet or a security phone, looking for parking or somewhere to feed a baby? Open Points of Interest, pick a category, and every matching spot lights up on the map with a count of how many there are.

Categories include Food, Toilets, Parking, Security phones, Defibrillator (AED), EV Charger, Parents Room, Entrance, Fitness & Sport, Kitchen, Lawns and the Campus tree walk, with more to come.

Parking, colour coded

Car parks on the map are shaded by who can park there, so you can see at a glance where your ticket or permit is valid before you drive in.

Select a colour in the key to read the rules for that type of parking. Motorcycle and mobility parking are also shown on the map. Always check the signs at the car park before you park.

Places with a story

Some places now have a full info panel with photos, a description and links. The Campus Tree Walk is the first: select a tree to learn what it is and why it's there.

More places will get info panels over time, so it's worth selecting a marker and choosing Info to see what's there.

Favourites

Save up to 10 places you visit often, like your lecture theatre or car park. Favourites are stored on the device you saved them on.

Why can I see inside some buildings and not others?

Floor plans are being added in phases. Phase One (2026) covers the buildings where indoor wayfinding helps the most people, and more buildings and campuses follow in 2027.

How Phase One buildings were chosen

  • Foot trafficBuildings that the most people walk through every day.
  • Student-facing learningBuildings with lecture theatres, tutorial rooms and labs students need to find.
  • Hard to navigateBuildings that are genuinely tricky to find your way around. Yes, Building 19, we mean you.

What about Building 11?

University Hall is one of the busiest places on campus, but its layout is straightforward, so it wasn't a Phase One priority. You can still search for it and get directions to it.

How to tell if a building is mapped

Zoom in on it. A mapped building shows room numbers, stairs and toilets, and you can move between its floors.

Rooms in mapped buildings are shaded by what they're used for:

  • Yellow: learning spaces
  • Light yellow: labs
  • Grey: offices
  • Light grey: meeting rooms
  • Blue: toilets
