Overview
UCR's campus map is notoriously hard to navigate — building names like "Chass North/South" or "Chung Hall" don't tell you much if you've never been there, and finding the actual classroom inside can mean circling the building. This app was built to fix that.
A React Native/Expo frontend talks to a Node/Express backend backed by MongoDB, aiming to route students not just to buildings but to specific classrooms, plus points of interest like the Botanic Gardens and Orbach Library.
What I built
01
Walking/biking route planning across inner campus, with the ability to drop custom pins.
02
Class schedule saving tied to a UCR course database lookup, so the map knows where you need to be.
03
Campus resource layer showing store/shop hours and event times alongside the navigation view.
