The College Avenue Campus is a designated Heritage Property comprised of two buildings: Darke Hall and the College Building. Located on College Avenue in Regina, it is the site of the original Methodist College since re-purposed and incorporated into the University of Regina. This presentation will provide an overview of the renovation and rehabilitation project in terms of how BIM was utilized to document existing conditions, identify and solve design problems, develop construction documents, execute contract administration, address challenges encountered during construction, and lessons learned. The session will also address how the design team?s office processes and methodologies using BIM technologies bridged the gap between a fully integrated BIM project and the traditional paper method ? creating a collaborative hybrid approach to the project.
Kate has a diverse educational background in architecture. She received her Bachelor of Environmental Design from the University of Manitoba and her Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo. Her studies have included specialized classes in building science, passive design strategies, as well as wood and concrete structures. Kate was an integral part of the College Avenue Campus Renewal Project – a challenging renovation/addition to a heritage building delivered on a highly demanding timeline. The project has involved a complete reservicing of the HVAC, plumbing, electrical and AV services within the building.
