If you’ve had a chance to look at the newly revised map
of the BYU-Idaho campus, you probably noticed that things have been turned
upside down. Traditionally when you look at maps, you assume that north is
at the top and south is at the bottom.
But
that was not the case with the map of campus that had been used for many
years on which south was at the top of the map and north was at the bottom.
On the old map, the Spori Building closest to downtown was at the bottom of
the map.
Just
recently, the campus map was revised and turned around. North and south are
now where they typically should be.
Lanae
Poulter of University Communications, explains, “We reversed the direction
of the map to fit the needs of the students. Before, the majority of the
people looking at the campus were looking south from downtown Rexburg. The
map was oriented so that you were looking at the campus toward the south
from the Spori Building, since that used to be the administration
building.”
She
added that there are some new features on this map that were not on the old
map, such as the new playing fields, the Gordon B. Hinckley Building and an
improved numbering system.
“Students had a hard time
finding buildings in the past, so hopefully the numbering system we used on
the updated map will help,” Poulter said. The numbering system used on the
new map will be the same on every map from now on. # # #
