Campus GIS 

The University of Missouri- St. Louis and their Department of Planning and Construction recognized a need to establish a comprehensive geospatial data infrastructure that would unify the information that defines UMSL’s campus.  In order to achieve this, Kinetic Solutions proposed a campus-wide Geographic Information System (GIS) to help with the University’s rapid expansion and modernization of their campus facilities. The University of Missouri, St. Louis, as a current customer, has relied on the GIS Services of Kinetic Solutions for Scanning and Document Management.  Kinetic Solutions was able to recognize the requirements of the University and provide a GIS solution that would improve quality and reduce costs, make the information more accessible and promote the sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of the University’s operations.

Kinetic Solutions has subcontracted Pickett Ray and Silver, Inc., a professional St. Louis surveying firm, to develop the campus geo-referencing system.  Kinetic Solutions is developing the digital base map, and with coordination of the University’s staff members, will construct useful data sets or layers to assist UMSL with survey control, surface lighting, communications, utility lines, transportation and property management.  This Campus GIS will be used to support various business decisions for the University, and will allow UMSL to integrate many of the layers of spatial information by creating a complete digital record of the entire campus that will effectively support the large number of engineering, design and construction tasks facing the University.
