UMass Amherst: Integrating GIS and IWMS to Create an Effective Space Planning Tool
Date: June 30, 2015 Time: 1pm - 2pm ET
Presenter:
Niels La Cour Senior Physical Planner UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Campus Planning [email protected]
Summary:
The University of Massachusetts Amherst recently began implementation of Tririga, IBM’s Integrated Work Management System (IWMS), as an enterprise solution for Space and Asset Management. Campus Planning has been working to integrate the IWMS data with the Registrar’s database (R25) and Finance (PeopleSoft) and bring them into the GIS environment to create more effective Space Planning tools. The analytical and visualization environment of GIS offers the opportunity to optimize space utilization and communicate that information to decision makers. This presentation will focus on the technology enabling that integration, Safe Software’s Feature Manipulation Engine (FME), and the benefits to the organization of using GIS at a decision support system.

Presenter:
Larisa Kruger Enterprise GIS Manager OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Facilities Information and Technology Services / Physical Planning and Real Estate [email protected]
Summary:
Assets such as buildings, equipment, roads and bridges present local governments as well as big organizations with a number of asset management challenges. OSU is solving some of these challenges by integrating our BIM and GIS. Conversion tools were used to share the best parts of our BIM with both our web application and ArcScene. This approach enabled detailed spatial analysis that was not available in Revit and made BIM accessible to the masses through our intuitive web mapping application.

UW: Facilities Information Spatial Data Model (FISDM)
Date: May 12, 2015 Time: 1pm - 2pm ET
Presenter:
Aaron Cheuvront CAD/GIS Program Manager UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Capital Project Office - Information Systems [email protected]
Summary:
As a member of the FISDM working group, the University of Washington is making the leap from an organization specific data structure to a more standardized system for interior space GIS. The UW implementation uses a non-CAFM CAD system to maintain floorplans in a traditional CAD environment while synchronizing the drawings with GIS every hour in a web Mercator coordinate system. The latest development is the introduction of an interior navigation infrastructure that ties together the interior of buildings with the campus exterior.

UCalgary: Maximizing the Strength of GIS in Facilities
Date: April 28, 2015 Time: 11am - 12pm ET
Presenter:
Tom McCaffrey Director, GIS and Records Management UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY, ALBERTA Facilities Development [email protected]
Summary:
At the University of Calgary we focus on how we can maximize the use of GIS within the facilities group: 1) What can be gained by involving daily workers in the GIS process? 2) How do we improve the Quality Control of our data? 3) How does GIS save us money?
Our presentation will briefly cover our role within the campus 'community' as well as our function within Facilities Development and Maintenance. Our approach to GIS in the facilities group covers the many different scopes related to data mapping and GIS systems development (systems used to transfer knowledge from our workers to our GIS). The immediate need for this data capture is driven by the fact that 55% of our facilities staff will retire within the next 5 years. By using GIS as a daily tool our workers help verify the data accuracy while inputting new changes as they happen. We also hope to show how we automate the many processes we have and how we use the power of the computer to help improve our quality control while speeding up our process. Programming in Python allows us to use GIS to view errors in data that may otherwise get overlooked (ie room numbering). To complete this overview a discussion on the use of worker involvement and how it allows us the opportunity to save money by stream lining work processes, preventing potential disasters and improving health and safety standards.

UChicago: BIM/GIS Convergence Within a 3D Data Model Utilizing LiDAR Data
Date: April 14, 2015 Time: 1pm - 2pm ET
Presenter:
Scott Stocking Spatial Data Interface Analyst UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Facilities Services [email protected]
Summary:
The University of Chicago is currently in the planning stages for a renovation program of the buildings located on Main Quadrangle. Since these buildings were built in the 1890’s, design drawings were not available to assist in program development. The University completed a LiDAR acquisition of both the interior and exterior buildings, and then utilized this data with existing GIS data to inform the planning process using a 3D spatial model. This model will then support program work efforts in space optimization, evaluation of design alternatives, and implementation management.
Presentation Outline: 1) Review Quad Capital Review Program 2) Approach for Building the Spatial Data 3) Data Acquisition Process – LiDAR/BIM/CAD 4) Data Development Process 5) Next Steps

UMass Amherst: Sustainability Drives the Smart Campus: GIS is the Platform
Date: March 03, 2015 Time: 1pm - 2pm ET
Presenter:
Niels La Cour Senior Physical Planner UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Campus Planning [email protected]
Summary:
A Smart Campus is generally defined as having the ability to make intelligent adjustments and decisions in response to changing circumstances based on real time data from multiple sources. Many universities are developing smart systems that automate specific functions such as financial and human resources, traffic, course assignment, space management, building HVAC and MEP performance, people access and control, or maintenance work flow management. These systems generally support the administration of the campus and are separate from one another along organizational boundaries. The boundaries exist primarily because of the complexity of each domain within the campus environment, yet also because they often overlap with each other or compete for the same resources.

Spatial Data Infrastructure Program at the University of Chicago
Date: January 6, 2015 Time: 1pm - 2pm ET
Presenter:
Scott Stocking Spatial Data Interface Analyst UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Facilities Services [email protected]
Summary:
The University has CAD files that represent the built environment on campus. New data is now coming in from BIM/LiDAR, and GIS layers of campus grounds and utilities. With this gauntlet of data sources, how will the University know what data source is the correct representation of reality to support operations? To address this situation the University has embarked on a SDI Program to create a ‘single version of reality’ via an innovative central data repository. The repository supports systems of record on both data harvesting and models in BIM/GIS/CAD used in enterprise applications.
