After months of hard work, we are delighted to officially announce the launch of the new 360-degree virtual tour! The virtual walking tour is an immersive interactive user experience, and we look forward to using it to engage with prospective students, parents, alumni and the community. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Each visitor can curate their own tour experience with easy-to-use navigational tools and optional audio descriptions—voiced by a Lawrence student—of each building and points of interest on campus. They can also use the buttons integrated throughout the tour to contact admissions, schedule visits or apply online.
We built the tour to allow easy updates of the content and improve the quality of the tour. (Now that students have returned, we will be swapping out the current images with a livelier campus. We will also let everyone know when Björklunden and London Centre are added!)
I encourage all faculty and staff to take a virtual tour of the campus and provide me with your questions, comments and feedback. Our next step is to announce the tour to the alumni and Board of Trustees before announcing the tour to the general public, so we would love to hear your feedback and make any necessary adjustments first.
A special thanks to the team for their hard work all summer on this project:
Jay Dansand, Larry Darling, Christopher Gore-Gammon, David Jaglowski, Garrett Katerzynske, David Jaglowski, James Sweetack, Matt Schmeltzer and Ben Willard.
We hope you enjoy the tour.
Lauren Erlandson, Director of Digital Communications
