GPRS Reality Capture at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center Campus
ASK
overview
3D laser scan the Russ Berrie Medical Science Pavilion and School of Nursing at Columbia University in Washington Heights, Manhattan
PROBLEM
- Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) was selected to design The Roy and Diana Vagelos Innovation Laboratories, a new eight-story all-electric facility for biomedical research and laboratory use
- The building needed to meet NYC’s Local Law 97 requirements and Columbia University’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction goals
- The plan includes connecting the School of Nursing and the Russ Berrie Medical Science Pavilion, so accurate as-built documentation for both structures is vital
Solution
- GPRS Project Managers used LiDAR-based 3D laser scanners to capture approximately 75,000 s.f. of the two interconnected buildings in greyscale
- They documented the interior and exterior of the Russ Berrie Medical Science Pavilion
- They also captured the School of Nursing's interior side of the exterior wall facing the parking lot
- GPRS in-house Mapping & Modeling Team used the registered point cloud data to create a 3D BIM model, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, exterior elevations, MEP documentation, and a roof plan
Benefits
- The as-built deliverables provided an accurate foundation for the design team to plan the renovation and expansion
- 3D laser scanning was quick, safe, non-intrusive, and allowed the medical center to remain fully operational
- GPRS’ suite of as-built deliverables helped the architect make sustainable design decisions, including electrification, energy efficiency, a high-performance façade, biophilic design, and collaborative spaces
- The as-built documentation helped the design team plan NYC’s first university-owned research facility to operate entirely without fossil fuels and incorporates sustainability principles throughout its design and operation
