Welcome to the Willamette University Campus Virtual
Tour. Use this tour to experience our campus, find a building, locate
parking or learn what it’s like to live and work at Willamette.
We have provided the reference materials below if you need help
navigating our tour.
Virtual Tour Navigation
Tour Category
Every place on the campus map is organized into three categories:
buildings, nature and landmarks, student hangouts. You can select
which type of place you would like to visit in the upper-right of
the tour window. The current tour name appears immediately above
the three tour categories.
Tour Sub-categories
Within each tour there may be sub-categories of places. For example
the buildings tour category has four sub-categories (and the “all”
sub-category). To select a tour, click on the sub-category name.
All of the places you can visit in the tour sub-category appear
listed to the immediate right of the sub-categories. Places are
listed alphabetically; you can use this list to jump ahead or back
quickly by simply clicking on the place name.
For Every Place
Each place may have up to four types of information available about
it: history, what happens here,
map it, and sound. Excluding sound,
which you can turn on and off at any time, only one of h, w, or
m can be selected at a time. Both history and what happens here
show you images of the place; naturally, map it shows you the place
on the campus map.
History
History tells you about the history of the place, as it relates
to Willamette. The arrow buttons in the upper-left of the text area
allow you to move ahead or back one place, in the current tour.
What Happens Here
What happens here tells you all the things (or university functions)
that happen at the place, such as ultimate frisbee, dining, the
Office of Admission, or studying, just to name a few. The arrow
buttons in the upper-left of the text area allow you to move ahead
or back one place, in the current tour.
Map It
Map it displays the current place on the campus map, and can be
left on, if you wish to move through the tour seeing the relationship
of place to place.
As you move your mouse across the map, you can, when not on a map
place, drag the map to move it. When you are on a map place, you
can click it to go there.
Map It Panels
When the map is visible, the map options panel also appears. With
the map options panel, each button will toggle the display of the
various map elements. In order, from left-to-right, they are: display
the map inset panel, highlight parking, display public-use campus
phones, display disabled-accessible building entrances, show pop-up
place titles, and show the “You Are Here” marker. With
the slider at the end, you control the map zoom.
If the inset is displayed, you can use it to visually locate yourself
in the greater campus map. If you desire, you can drag the dark-magenta
inset outline to move your location on the map or you can click
elsewhere on the map to move the map display to that location.
Both of these panels are grabable and dragable, if you
would prefer them in another location.
Sound
If sound for the place is available, you can turn it on and off
as desired. (There are volume and mute sound controls at the very
bottom-right of the tour window.)
