What is Property Central?

Property Central is a web portal system that is an industry-standard, GIS (Geographical Information System) application and a centralised, user-friendly repository of all onshore RMIT campus building plans and facilities information.

Staff can efficiently access information on RMIT’s physical resources – building, space and campus information and information specific to the University’s Colleges, Schools and Groups via the web.

Campus maps and building floor plans can also be modified to suit user requirements. Notations can be added and a wide range of information can also be added or removed, like Usable Floor Area (UFA), room type and the School or Group that uses the space.

Features:

Generate a campus map

You can view an aerial map of the selected campus, hone in on a building, and view details of that building’s individual floors and rooms on that floor.

Generate a room enquiry

Bring up detailed information about any room on any of RMIT’s onshore campuses and generate a floor plan with a pointer to the room that is being searched for.

Generate space reports

Run a variety of reports, which include listings of different classroom types in a building or on a campus.
