WakeMed North in Raleigh, N.C., was recognized for using BIM technology to convert its healthplex into a licensed acute care hospital, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
The facility opened in 2015 and was recently recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of the Carolinas for its innovative use of BIM.
The $75 million project was completed in two phases. Phase 1 focused on a new central energy plant, while the acute care hospital was designed in Phase 2.
“This project’s success was directly related to Brasfield & Gorrie’s innovative use of advanced building information technology,” said Kristen Puryear, project manager with mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) firm Dewberry.
