The Year in Infrastructure 2008 - (Page 29) InnovatIon In CommerCIal or resIdentIal BuIldIng Architecture+ Delta Community College Monroe, Louisiana, United States For the Louisiana Delta community college, a design-build project including a new 135,000-square-foot facility, Architecture+ used Building Information Modeling (BIM) to demonstrate the design intent in a manner that the owner could fully grasp. Bentley Architecture was used to build a model of the project and extract plans, sections, and interior and exterior elevations. The model and extractions were studied to determine the best location and use of materials. The model provided the necessary flexibility to view specific areas from any location. Using BIM saved time during schematic design. As changes were made to the design components, all related 2D drawings were automatically updated.

Marion State Bank marked its 100th anniversary by breaking ground on this new banking branch. ProjectWise decreased the time needed to transfer files among team members and reduced risk by ensuring outdated information would not reenter the workflow. The integration of all file types in one location allowed all users to access any aspect of the project quickly and easily. The firm’s experience using Bentley Architecture in this project has saved it time and money on the initial design of a subsequent project.
