Never hardcode a path.

If what you want is to find the building matching the one given as
argument, you should build a dict, not a list of tuples.
buildings = {
"cb" : ("Cambus Office", "-91.552977", "41.659655"),
"va/hardlib" : ("VA/Hardin Library", "-91.549501", "41.662348"),
"hancher" : ("Hancher Auditorium", "-91.538214", "41.669529"),
"currier" : ("Currier Hall", "-91.534996", "41.666163") ,
"schaeffer" : ("Schaeffer Hall", "-91.535296", "41.660969"),
"shospital" : ("South Hospital", "-91.548900", "41.658885")
}
Now you don't need to loop and compare, a simple :
buildings.get(building.lower())
should be enough
(NB : Anyway, this dict should not be hardcoded. Put this in a separate
conf file, in a db, or whatever, but keep it out of the code.)

string concatenation is not an efficient idiom. In a loop, the common
idiom is to use a list and join it, but here I guess a triple quoted
string and simple templating trick would be better.

This is definitevely not how I would do HTML/js in Python. There are a
lot of templating / HTML generation tools available, that allow to
cleanly separate logic from presentation.
