By using a heat map to represent and visualize where people work, we can easily see simple, common patterns (such as a lot of work will probably be happening in Hunt or Gates), but we might also be able to discover more subtle or surprising patterns of work/play. How much work happens in dorms or off campus? Or outside? On the weekends?

On top of a heat map, it would be effective if this heat map was not static, but would change in real time and track where people are currently working and playing. The user could also see the history of the heat map and see how the heat maps looks on different days or times of the year.
