Creating a 3D Campus Map from Aerial LIDAR
Thursday, March 19, 2026, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT
Category: Water Cooler

Using high-resolution state LIDAR data, Brown University’s campus was transformed into a dynamic 3D environment that brings buildings and infrastructure to life. The 3D model adds to the existing campus base map and provides an new perspective for campus planning, visualization, and exploration.

Paratum Solutions will walk through the 3D creation process, from converting raw LIDAR data into realistic 3D structures and data-rich visualizations.

Presented by:
Colin Johnson, Director of Systems and Services, Brown University
Chad Cavanaugh, Facilities Information Services Manager, Brown University
Chris Akin, President, Paratum Solutions
Zoie Lowery, GIS Technician, Paratum solutions
