Growth and technology have driven the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to build a geographic information system (GIS) database for its facilities and space management. This chapter reviews several issues concerning this implementation: (1) the challenges involved in implementing the system; (2) the lack of efficiency and accuracy that existed before the implementation; (3) the corresponding need for GIS; (4) the design of the spatial inventory database (SID); (5) reasons to use GIS; and (6) how GIS works at UTD.
