Implementing BIM for Indiana University Design Construction Facilities

Implementing BIM for Indiana University Design, Construction & Facilities Management December 11, 2008 S 407: BIM in Education: An Information Exchange for Educators and Industry- Focus on Midwest Universities Theresa Thompson Director of In-House Projects & Spatial/Project Information ththomp@indiana. edu www. indiana. edu/~uao

Our BIM vision We view BIM as both a process and technology that can assist Indiana University in: q Design and Construction projects - yielding improved project delivery, quality, cost control, communication, and visualization q Better leveraging and integration of building data for lifecycle facilities management, performance analysis, and asset mgmt. q Assisting in our university goals for environmental stewardship and sustainability q Providing an innovative learning and research environment for “test bedding” BIM, project delivery/lean construction, and other BIM-related information technologies (Advanced Visualization, Informatics, Pervasive Technologies, etc)

Our BIM Vision – Major Objectives q Provide a framework for more successful project delivery (better schedule/cost/quality) § stay informed on best practices / case studies § incorporate cross-disciplinary information flow q Develop project deliverable requirements for trusted handover data and BIM operations models for lifecycle facilities management § Take incremental steps & advantage of low level BIM q Develop IU BIM standards that require data to be interoperable (IFC) and conform to industry standards (NBIMS) – easy data exchange as the goal

Our BIM Vision – Major Objectives q Bring BIM models/data into GIS environment q Support IU Sustainability goals § energy analysis tools & LEED / Green analysis q Develop on-going student internships in BIM q Provide BIM education/training for facilities staff q Partner with the IU research community and industry on innovative approaches to project delivery / BIM / Visualization

A bit about Indiana University 2007 -2008 Facts (8 campuses): • 101, 727 Students – total enrollment • 16, 461 Faculty and Staff • 825 Buildings • 31, 134, 889 GSF building space • 3, 636 Acres • $2, 712, 464, 294 Operating Budget

…some bragging rights IU is No. 1 among publicly supported universities in PC magazine’s ranking of Top 20 Wired Campuses for 2008 “No. 3 Indiana, the top-ranking public school on the list, boasts the country's fastest university-owned supercomputer and largest diskbased storage facility. Indiana also has more than 50 agreements in place with software companies such as Microsoft and Symantec. ”

IU Bloomington is ranked among the 15 most beautiful college campuses 2008 MSN Travel

How we are structured Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer University Architect’s Office q Bureau of Facilities Programming & Utilization q Department of Facilities q Finance Division q Real Estate q Campus Physical Plant offices q EH&S, Risk Management q

Planning and Construction (as of 11/2008) Major Projects in construction (system wide) 17 $374, 949, 345 Major Projects in planning and/or design 55 $571, 315. 624 Total $946, 264, 969 Each month we average 1, 200 active projects in planning/design/construction (includes smaller in-house design/built projects)

How we approach projects q Design – Bid – Build – majority of q Design – Build – first project in 2005 q In-House Design and Build – most small projects q Job Order Contracting (JOC) - capital projects not yet in place Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) / Lean Construction - investigating q

Our Current Toolbox q BIM (Revit / Auto. CAD MEP) q CAD (Auto. CAD/Auto. CAD Map 3 D) / Sketch. Up q CAFM (FM Systems - linked CAD plans to Oracle database) q CMMS (Facility Focus/MAX by Maximus) q EDMS (On. BASE) q GIS (ESRI site license / SDE environment) q GPS (CORS station at Bloomington campus) q Project Bidding – online planroom (www. iuplanroom. com) q Project Collaboration (Project. Dox by Avolve) q Statewide Aerial Orthophotography and Pictometry obliques

Where we are today q summer 2007 - Our IU BIM Champion - Asst. VP for Facilities and University Architect, Robert Meadows, requested that we begin to investigate what it would take to implement BIM q May 2008 - Weekly in-house Revit Architecture self-paced training sessions for interested design and facilities staff (early adopters/champions) q July 2008 - IU BIM Implementation Team formed from crossfunctional facilities dept. representatives on two main campuses and meeting regularly to get educated on BIM and draft an IU BIM Roadmap & IU BIM Standards q Working with Interior Design Faculty to establish BIM / Revit internships (IU Bloomington and IUPUI)

Where we are today - projects q June 2008 – presented brief overview of BIM to IU design consultants/contractors and announced our intent to implement BIM and asked for them to let us know of their firm BIM experience and concerns Use of BIM on current Projects - many but not all of our design consultants are using BIM. IU does not yet require BIM. Eugene & Marilyn Glick Eye Institute IUPUI campus - Indianapolis Ratio Architects

Where we are today - projects q Use of BIM on IU Design-Build Projects We have our first project in construction using BIM. We intend to use this project as a prototype and learning experience for BIM. Incubator Building IU Bloomington Messer Construction BSA Life. Structures

Where we are today – existing bldgs. We are evaluating a proposal to model (Revit) a 300, 000 GSF, 1950’s lab/research building. Two approaches are being considered 1. creation of a BIM model from field verification and existing project drawings (Arch/MEP) 2. creation of a BIM model using 3 D laser scanning technology Jordan Hall IU Bloomington SHP Leading Design

Where we are today – existing bldgs. We are also evaluating how our facilities/design staff and student interns might start to produce architectural shell BIM models of our existing buildings. Our role model: Clyne Curtis, CAD Manager at Brigham Young University “I currently have one student dedicated to converting our database CAD drawings into Revit models, but will be ramping that up with at least four or five more students after the first of the year. We are fortunate that our construction management program includes Revit in its curriculum so we have a pretty good user base to hire from. We are also starting to require that all of our outside architectural firms provide future deliverables in the Revit format. We have a goal to have all of our academic buildings in Revit by the end of 2009. That should keep us pretty busy!” November 2008 cadalyst

Our Challenges q Maintain senior management support for paradigm shifts in processes/workflows q Finish first draft and then implement an IU BIM Roadmap § Consultant and Contractor language to incorporate BIM & COBIE (Construction Operations Info. Business Exchange) § IU BIM standards (templates/object libraries) q Creating BIM models of existing buildings § What is a funding model for this? § Focus on research/lab buildings for now q Ownership/Sharing of BIM models – legal issues

Our Challenges q Buy-in/support from senior administration for using BIM in lifecycle facilities management § Resistance to record internal built project changes q Lack of School of Architecture or Engineering at largest campus § Student internships from Interior Design and Information Technology q Training/Support for staff in BIM § fear of another new technology vs rewards § funding for training and time for overloaded staff

We be moving Howwill to move from beyond this…. this …
