Presentation Outline 3D Virtual Campus Planning What is it? Why should you use it? Benefits Challenges Trends Featured Case Studies
Why the Need to Visualize?
What is it? Virtual Master Campus Planning Integrating data & systems in a 3D environment A process, not a software utility
Why Should You Use it? Benefits An integration tool to link multiple databases BIM applications (Bentley, Revit) GIS applications (Esri, Autodesk GIS) Traffic simulation (Corsim, VISSIM) Asset Management (Archibus, Maximo) Cost Estimating and Tracking Become more operationally efficient by gaining access to real-time information from maintenance and support operations.
Why Should You Use it? Benefits Better manage spaces and assets. Visualize vacancy opportunity by undertaking real-time queries and looking at efficiency models to ensure best use of available space. Access information in an intuitive, visual map-based interface. Real-time (virtual reality) navigation Improves the Design Review process and stakeholder consensus Enhances public involvement and community awareness Multiple Modes of Dissemination/Access Mobile Cloud-based in the field access Smartphone, Tablet PC
Why Should You Use it? Benefits Improved Facilities Management Geo-referenced inventory of campus infrastructure (utility information; water mains, fiber pathways, electrical lines, etc..) Manage Multiple Databases from one application. Increased productivity Overall savings
Why Should You Use it? Benefits Recruitment Web-based virtual campus model for prospective students and their parents Enhanced Wayfinding. Student orientation
Why Should You Use it? Benefits Fund Raising Activities Campus virtual model can be used by foundation relations personnel to show current and future campus plans to potential donors and reintroduce alumni to the campus
Challenges Cultural and Generational Change Interdepartmental collaboration New workflows and processes Younger Generation more readily adopt technology Rapid advancement of technology Innovator, Early Adopter or late to the game What do I do with all that data? Integrating silos of data Multiple database types GIS, BIM, Maximo, etc
Challenges Budgeting How do I budget for a new technologies and processes Savings and increased productivity but upfront costs How do I use it? i.e. BIM, Laser Scanning, 3D Printing Training Lack of Standards & Guidelines Where do I go for knowledge?
Challenges Key Industry Trends Design Build The process requires greater/enhanced communication The Push for 3D Planning, Design & Construction CIM / BIM Technologies Production Impacts Collision Detection Design Review Higher quality of the design
Challenges Key Technology Trends Big Data Cloud Computing Integration of Data Real-time Reporting Mobile 3D Design Crowdsourcing 4D, 5D and beyond Laser Scanning Augmented Reality Data Fusion
Where Do I Start? The Hub of Many Databases A 3D-GIS Solution Enterprise Solution by Integrating Technologies A Common Portal of Information Leverage existing applications to tie information together Using BIM applications for campus planning Continue to use the same tools you always have, just see and interact differently with them. Data continuity between campus departments. Take datasets and put them into a repository where they can be stored, viewed, accessed and visualized across a broad range of stakeholders. Reduce duplication of services
Featured Case Studies
Case Studies Campus Master Plan Campus Planning Tool Used in all major planning activities Campus construction presentations Explore UB Available on UB Website Mobile Devices Virtual Tour of Campus
University of Rochester Improved Analysis Tools Consistent data & ease of access More effective tool for identifying utility locations With information in one location, greater consistency Enhanced Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) RG&E sub-station project
Case Studies University of Rochester Improved Analysis Tools Unique Design Competition Tool Consistent understanding of each design Higher quality of content, since all teams used the same terrain & buildings. Repurpose 3D-CAD information. i.e. Revit, SketchUp Since the design is already being done in 3D, more value for its use.
Presentation Summary Better outcomes through collaboration Facilities Managers can use a single, shared 3D database, cultivating collaborative working relationships. This ensures everyone is focused on achieving best value, from project inception to eventual decommissioning. Enhanced performance Makes possible for swift and accurate comparison of different design options, enabling development of more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable solutions. Optimized solutions Through deployment of new generative modeling technologies, solutions can be cost-effectively optimized against agreed parameters. Many, many, many uses Planning, recruitment, alumni relations, campus wayfinding, foundation relations, etc
Presentation Summary Greater predictability Projects can be visualized at an early stage, giving Facilities Managers and stakeholders a clear idea of design intent and allowing them to modify the design to achieve the outcomes they want. Faster project delivery Time savings, can be achieved by agreeing the design concept early in project development to eliminate late stage design changes. Reduced safety risk Asset managers can use the technology to enhance operational safety. Contractors can minimize construction risks by reviewing complex details or procedures before going on site.
Presentation Summary Fits first time Integrating multidisciplinary design inputs using a single application allows interface issues to be identified and resolved in advance of construction, eliminating the cost and time impacts of redesign. Reduced waste Exact quantity take-offs mean that materials are not over-ordered. Precise programmed scheduling enables just-in-time delivery of materials and equipment, reducing potential for damage. Whole Life Asset Management Contains information that assists with commissioning, operation and maintenance activities Continual improvement Members of the team can feedback information about the performance of processes, driving improvements on subsequent projects.
