Now more than ever, the community importance of school buildings is being recognized. Educational buildings must serve many functions beyond classroom education, such as providing essential social support services to the communities they serve. Multiple programming goals demand flexible spaces, and in addition, school design must focus on sustainability and security. Many firms are turning to BIM technology not only to lower costs and make the construction process more efficient, but also to design safer and better-performing school buildings. In this webinar, you will hear from a panel well-versed in using BIM for innovative educational projects who will share their experience and lessons learned.
