Interactive Map of the University of South Carolina's four story geography building. Elemets are rendered on page load based on information pulled from a JSON file, allowing the map to be updated easily and without any understanding of code.

The maps were drawn pixel by pixel in an isometric projection and the interactivity is built using nothing more than CSS, JavaScript and the jQuery library.

A handful of sprites depicting geography department staff and students are randomly selected and placed somewhere on the map every time it loads.
