This project presents the development of an interactive model of the campus of the University of Life Sciences "King Mihai I" of Timișoara, created using the ArcGIS Story Maps platform. The aim of this model is to provide a comprehensive and accessible visual representation of the university’s facilities and structures, integrating detailed geographic information and relevant imagery. Users can virtually explore the campus, view the locations of buildings, laboratories, green spaces, and other points of interest. Through interactive maps and multimedia stories, this project enhances the orientation and information experience for students, faculty, and visitors. The model also has the potential to facilitate the strategic planning and development of the university’s infrastructure. StoryMaps is an application created by the company ESRI and has become a popular environment for virtual tours of universities and university campuses around the world. Some apps created with StoryMaps provide an overview of campus facilities, while others focus on themes including trees, sustainability, history and diversity. An interactive map created with StoryMaps can serve a wide variety of purposes such as providing an engaging and easy-to-create way to present your university campus in an interactive tour. Such maps and interactive applications can help students and professors to navigate in campus or serve as ways for prospective students and employees to tour the campus. These types of interactive maps can help students to think spatially and to use technology in meaningful ways. It can give them a sense of pride to be authors of their campus maps.
