Well look at ways to correct your campus data in major mapping systems, and then look at some fairly easy-to-build and inexpensive options for building mobile-friendly interactive maps for your campus.

Lets Talk About Data
Lets Talk About Data Major services to worry about: Google MapMaker (and Places, Plus, and Maps) OpenStreetMap HERE Apple Maps Each service has its quirks.
Lets Talk About Data Data Overload Major data sources have required a great deal of cleanup. Especially a problem with published full directories. Lots of Inputs Some of them are even good.

The Google-Sphere Fastest way to fix map information? Google Map Maker Fastest way to fix POIs? Google Local places (if claimed) Google Map Maker if not.
The Google-Sphere Setbacks may occur. I wish I was kidding.
The Google-Sphere Having Problems? If you have a paid relationship with Google, use it. If you dont use Map Maker forums and your Regional Lead. Be Persistent
OpenStreetMap Where the WikiPedia Model Meets Mapping
