The introduction of a new digital wayfinding capability is not only for convenience, but an integral part of delivering safer, more efficient, and more modern experiences to our community. A large campus can be challenging to navigate, and this is a great way to help make the onsite experience a bit easier.

The Purple app is now part of our employee onboarding. For the first day of orientation, part of that orientation is actually to use the app to go find the cafeteria, go find where you need to go. And we’ve been able to bake that in. And it’s been great.
