Enhanced campus navigation and improved user experience, indicated by metrics such as:

  • Decreased average time to reach destinations on campus.

  • Increased user satisfaction scores related to navigation.

  • Reduction in the number of lost or confused visitors on campus.

  • Improved efficiency in finding classrooms, offices, and facilities.

  • Higher utilization of the app by the campus community.

This project is centered around creating a user-centric navigation app to address the challenges students face when navigating their college campus. The POVs and HMWs provide valuable insights into Student’s needs and expectations, emphasizing the importance of a more intuitive, reliable, and easy-to-use navigation system.

The project aims to minimize confusion and reduce the risk of arriving late to classes by designing an app with a simplistic UI that offers clear and precise directions. Through wireframes, the app will demonstrate its user-friendly interface and intuitive navigation features, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for students and other users.

The app's development is inspired by Student’s need for reliable information and assistance with navigation. By bridging the gap between expectations and current capabilities, the app will become a go-to resource for campus navigation, providing accurate and up-to-date directions.

In conclusion, this project's app design aligns with Student's requirements and expectations, ensuring a reliable and straightforward and easy-to-use navigation system for the college campus.
