Technical Services

Technical Services provides information about the physical campus. From historical drawings and floor plans to space information and mapping, they are the source for any data you may need.

Areas of Focus

Campus Mapping

The campus mapping group uses GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to maintain complete, accurate, and detailed maps of Pitt's campus.

Information tracked includes:
• Campus infrastructure including buildings, parking, and utilities
• Campus landscape including trees, lighting, and benches
• Public safety-related elements including emergency phones and AEDs
• Other campus amenities

Each University of Pittsburgh campus map is built with the goal of making information about our University as accessible as possible.
