Design and constrauction processes relied on building information modeling (BIM) to maximize construction efficiencies. For the first building in New England to fully employ IPD, the team used collaborative processes to optimize their project designs, while reducing potential construction conflicts and risks. Through BIM and IPD, the project team communicated clearly across all disiplines, gaining digital design-to-fabrication efficiencies and adhering to the highest standards for sustainable design.
BIM and energy analysis tools enabled the team to design and build a structure incorporating the most rigorous sustainability standards. The team analyzed daylight paths throughout the building, ensuring that occupants enjoy natural light during the workday. Increased natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting. Analysis technology allowed the team to create the highest level of contact with natural light within the workspace for a majority of occupants. To understand how sound would travel, the team used Ecotect Analysis to generate animations of sound rays to visualize sound propagation.
Using a digital workflow, designers created design elements for the undulating ceiling directly from the building information model, enabling faster project delivery and sustainable construction, with less waste. Intricate repeating patterns inspired a complex and beautiful ceiling design. The ceiling elements were inspired by "art based on math", and were fabricated using wood veneer and plywood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
