Choose which colleges get local computers.

Click a college — on the map or in the list — to take it out of the plan or put it back. The one-time hardware money re-flows to the colleges that stay in.

What this map shows, and where its positions come from

The picture. Real overhead imagery of the Orem campus — NAIP, public domain, north up. Building pins use UVU's published coordinates and the image's own geographic bounds. The scale bar shows approximate ground distance. One limit: the photograph predates the Scott M. Smith Engineering Building, which opened in January 2026, so locator 1 marks its location on an older aerial.

The positions. Each locator is the building pin UVU publishes on its own campus map (uvu.edu/maps/main, Concept3D map 382) — a label point for the building, good to roughly 20 m, not a survey monument. Each college’s home building was checked on that college’s own dean’s or advising pages: Smith Engineering east, Keller south core, Clarke and McKay north, Science west core, the Noorda east core — with Health & Public Service split between the Losee Center and its West Campus health hub across the pedestrian bridge. Smaller markers are second buildings that belong to a college that already has a locator; they carry no separate switch.

The numbers. A locator’s ring is the college’s size in the busiest hour, and a size only — it is not a distance or a service area. The colour and the arc around the number are the value the scale under the map is showing. The starting order uses public signs of readiness — courses, faculty leads, policies, grants — and is an estimate, not a UVU survey (Appendix A); you can override it freely. A college taken out of the plan keeps the tools UVU already licenses; only the local hardware money moves. est

One-time equipment and launch money — $120,000

Which colleges are in

Other UVU locations — to review in a later phase

Lehi / Thanksgiving Point — MBA, MS cybersecurity, dental hygiene, respiratory therapy, police academy Provo Airport — aviation science + Utah Fire & Rescue Academy Wasatch campus, Heber — associate degrees + education Canyon Park — culinary arts Vineyard — fields today; 225-acre future campus Capitol Reef field station

Each location's role was checked on its own UVU page. These sites have smaller, program-specific needs and would reach the service over the network through the same secure entry point; UVU publishes no enrolment figures campus by campus, so they are listed for later review rather than sized by guesswork.

Where these figures come from

Priorities: each college's estimated busiest-hour demand is its Fall-2025 population multiplied by usage rates measured at other universities (Cedarville, Berkeley, Michigan) — not at UVU. The proposed rollout order comes from public signs of readiness across the seven colleges: courses, faculty leads, policies and grants. Colleges marked “paid research pool” are those whose deep research work — mathematics, physics, engineering — would use a paid outside service for the hardest problems. Taking a college out never removes its people from the tools UVU already licenses; it only moves the local hardware money. est

Positions: building coordinates checked against UVU's official campus map on 5 September 2026. These are approximate building label points, not survey measurements.
