Is the library the geographic center of campus? #95

A library faculty-member studying the use of computer labs in the library in relation to ITS-maintained student computer labs has an intuition that where students live in relation to the library and their home academic department plays and important role along with the services that are provided at each lab location.

He does not have the information to explore this idea, but instead wonders if the library is at the geographic center of campus as the self-imposed label of "the heart of the university" implies?

He has no GIS skills to answer this question.

problem: answering research questions with the help of data but does not have expertise.
