Scott,

 

I took your question to be for your internal use.  But, yes, Rich is correct that network drops, and key locations of telecommunications infrastructure in general, is considered sensitive data.  Access to this and other sensitive and confidential institutional information is authorized on a "need-to-know" basis and, as such, is not to be made publicly available.

 

On the MSU GIS site it indicates that you may request access by sending an email to [log in to unmask]  In the email you need to indicate who you are, and describe what your position/job responsibilities are, what you need access to, and why you need access, namely how will access help you to more efficiently and effectively perform one or more of your assigned job duties – your “need-to-know”.

 

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.  /d

Is the purpose internal use, or to be posted on the Web for general

use?  As I understand it, the university discourages showing building

floorplans on open Web sites.  (There may even be a policy or

guideline forbidding it; however, I do not know the URL if such

exists.)

 

I suggest you check with the keepers of the GIS (who I believe are

part of Campus Park and Planning) before posting any floorplans where

the public can see the details.
