This study presents "U-roAm," an augmented reality (AR)-based campus navigation and building directory system developed for the University of Antique-Main Campus. The study addresses the navigation challenges faced by students, staff, and visitors in large university environments. Data were gathered through convenience sampling and evaluated using McCall’s software quality model and the System Usability Scale (SUS). Results show that U-roAm demonstrates good usability, maintainability, and flexibility, and is user-friendly according to feedback. However, areas such as data integrity, security, and AR direction accuracy require further improvement. The project has significant potential to enhance campus navigation, improve user experience, and promote accessibility. Recommendations for future work include refining AR accuracy and expanding features.
