Case Study: University of Western Australia cuts printed campus maps by 90% with MazeMap

University of Western Australia cuts printed campus maps by 90% with MazeMap

The University of Western Australia (UWA) was facing a sustainability challenge, as its reliance on printed campus maps was inconsistent with its environmental goals. To reduce its footprint and minimize staff time spent on wayfinding support, UWA partnered with the vendor MazeMap to implement a digital wayfinding solution.

MazeMap provided an indoor mapping platform that was accessed via QR codes installed across campus. This solution empowered students to navigate independently and led to a 90% reduction in printed maps, from 10,000 to 1,000 per year. The measurable impact included thousands of pages of paper saved annually, a 29.5% year-over-year increase in MazeMap usage, and significantly improved operational efficiency for front-desk staff.
