The use of BIM in learning center design is rapidly changing the way architects and engineers collaborate with owners, with accessible design and improved accuracy.

Although CAD programs and technology have evolved over the years, its benefits to education design and construction have been remarkably few until the advent of Building Information Management, or BIM.  It's not just the cutting-edge 3-D technology or the photorealistic renderings it produces, it's the way BIM affects design collaboration that's truly revolutionizing how we build learning environments.

In this article for Learning By Design, Davis Langdon's Learning Center leader, John. C. Chadwick, delves into how using BIM allows the design process to be open to anyone, and also allows for more accurate cost estimating.
