      Finding rooms on any BCU sites can be a struggle. Having the complete floorplans of each floor in every building on the iCity app or website could help so much. Buildings such as Millennium Point are almost impossible to navigate especially for first year students. Even students who are familiar get confused. Having access to site maps that are updated regularly would be incredibly helpful.

    6:02pm on 3 Mar 22 floor plans on the iBCU app would be really useful. The app could implement a feature like highlighting the room the student is supposed to be in by looking at their timetable. It could help many people be on time to lessons, especially to first years that are just getting around to learning the routes of the campus.

    2:46pm on 5 Jun 23 Current progress is that the campus maps have been uploaded onto icity, and the university and officer team is currently working hard to update out-of-date campus information and provide the most accurate and up-to-date information. The President had discussions with BCU Estates regarding the update of floor plans and their subsequent upload onto the app. However, it was noted that current difficulties exist as the floor plans cannot be zoomed in on the app. Nevertheless, efforts are being made to explore alternative options and find a viable solution to advance this idea.
