Integration of Building Information Modeling and Facilities Management: A Case Study at Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Over the last few years, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has been gradually exploring the potential contributions of embedded design and construction information contained in the building information model (BIM). The recent completion of a new mixed-use facility at the WPI campus provided an excellent opportunity to plan and execute an integrated approach to streamline the information handover between the designer, builder, and owner of this facility. This paper presents and evaluates the approach followed by the project team to accomplish such an integrated information handover. It describes the collaborative contractual strategy developed by the project team and their consultants and subcontractors. It also describes the implementation/execution plan involving the design and construction professionals as well as the academic opportunities and contributions by student projects. It also presents the results obtained at the completion of the construction and the plans to maintain continuity with information updates throughout the project lifecycle.
