BIMStorm™ Oklahoma City (OKC) will bring together students from
disciplines such as architecture, construction science, planning, and
engineering to join in a partnership with the City of Oklahoma City and
industry participants for the virtual BIM event. Students will develop
design alternatives that can be tested and analyzed in BIM to verify
feasibility and constructability. The industry partners will provide
valuable insight to students about real world solutions. The dynamics
of students, city officials, and industry partners all working toward
one goal has implications for each group with information sharing,
problem solving, and solution testing. The virtual team context offers
OU students a differentiator and experience uncommon to the majority of
students of the built environment.
The City of Oklahoma City
The teams in BIMStorm OKC will be working with real world planning
scenarios as defined by the City of Oklahoma City. This is a very
unique opportunity to work with planning scenarios based on the real
needs of the city.
Watch the introductory
presentation by Russell Claus, Planning Director for Oklahoma City.
BIMStorm Dream Course at University of Oklahoma College of Architecture
Associate Professor of
Construction Science Tamera McCuen and Associate Professor of
Architecture Lee Fithian were approved to lead a Dream Course in fall
2012 by the University of Oklahoma. The course will raise OU's image as
a leader in interdisciplinary collaboration enabled by innovative
technology. The Dream Course will provide a unique opportunity for
students to work with design and construction professionals on virtual
teams. By working with the City of Oklahoma City and industry partners
throughout BIMStorm� OKC, students will further their
discipline knowledge and collaborative skills in a project-based
learning environment that represents leading-edge technology and
innovative project delivery methods for the 21st-century architect,
planner and construction manager.
