Description of Project: Susan Verba + Joshua Hori / DiPi + Student Disability Center team / University of California, Davis How can tactile maps aid in navigating cities, even when the “city” is a large university campus? With 38,000 students, 6,000 faculty, 24,000 staff, an airport, and a fire department, the University of California, Davis is a city within a city. The campus comprises 21.5 square kilometers connected by a maze of roads, bike paths, and pedestrian walkways, making it challenging to find one’s way around. The challenge is even greater for individuals who are blind or have low vision.
