Description
This class covers The Ohio State University's transition from floor plans based on AutoCAD® software to building models based on Revit®-based software. During the past 2 years, we have created Revit models that cover 11 million square feet; our goal is to develop models for 35 million square feet by May 2016. In this class, we describe the initial project work to design standards and processes to ensure the long-term value of the models. We also discuss the evolution of the standards and processes during the project's maturation. We further describe how Ohio State has handled the challenges of managing a large portfolio of models by improving processes and using technology solutions to drive efficiencies into model building and maintenance. Attendees receive an overview of the BIM Toolbox that Ohio State uses in its efforts to drive adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for existing buildings and in its development of BIM for design and construction.
Key Learnings
- Describe why Ohio State transitioned from AutoCAD to Revit and explain how they did it
- Define early planning efforts for standards and processes for modeling existing buildings in Revit
- Describe the process improvements Ohio State implemented to effectively manage a large portfolio of models
- Identify the technology solutions Ohio State has in its BIM toolbox to aid in the building and maintenance of its models
Speakers
- BSBrian SkripacAs the Director of Digital Practice at Astorino, Brian has embraced the changing paradigms of architectural practice and throughout the past eight years has integrated building information modeling (BIM) technologies well beyond the traditional design and documentation processes. More recently, he has focused on the integration of BIM to optimize sustainable design outcomes throughout all stages of a project, as well as demonstrating and implementing the value BIM brings to facility owners from a lifecycle management strategy. Brian holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The Ohio State University, is a LEED® Accredited Professional, and an Revit® Architecture certified professional. He also currently serves as a Leadership Team member for the AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (TAP KC) at the National level.
