BIM Projects

 

The following are several projects that Barton recently completed using BIM:

 

Mount St. Mary’s University Boiler Replacement – Emmitsburg, MD

Barton Education used building information modeling (BIM) technology to provide

mechanical and electrical engineering services to replace an existing coal-fired boiler with an approximate 300 BHP gas/oil firetube boiler at Mount St. Mary’s University.

 

Hanover Hospital Thistle Hill Medical Office Building Fit-Out – Spring Grove, PA

Barton Healthcare used building information modeling (BIM) technology to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing design services for a fit-out of approximately 17,000 square feet of space in a new 2-story medical office building. The new facility includes various outpatient functions including radiology/imaging, physical/occupational therapy and an outpatient clinic, as well as a mobile MRI trailer and outpatient lab.

 

Penn State Harrisburg Capital Union Building Addition & Renovation – Harrisburg, PA

Barton Education used building information modeling (BIM) technology to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing design services for a 12,000 square-foot addition and renovation to the Capital Union Building for Penn State University’s Harrisburg Campus. The project included a new fitness center, upgraded locker rooms, shower areas and equipment storage as well as infrastructure upgrades to cooling plant, heating plant and electrical distribution systems. The project also included energy recovery ventilators and a VAV HVAC system, high efficiency lighting and water conserving plumbing fixtures.

 

Lancaster General Hospital First Floor Renovation Medical Executive Offices – Lancaster, PA

Barton Healthcare used building information modeling (BIM) technology to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing design services for approximately 5,134 square feet of renovations on first floor adjacent to the existing executive offices. The mechanical design included converting the existing HVAC system from constant volume to a variable air volume (VAV) system.

 

Penn State University Park Pattee Foster Auditorium Relocation – University Park, PA

Barton Education used building information modeling (BIM) technology to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing design services to relocate and transform 6,000 square feet of the existing Foster Auditorium into a reading room and lecture room to provide more direct and convenient access to the West Pattee portion of the library, which is the core of the Knowledge Commons.  The project included developing a reading room for the students that include break out study areas and leisure reading areas. The project also involved a new, 135-seat auditorium and relocation of the original auditorium to accommodate the new reading room. The use of BIM on this project facilitated close coordination between lighting and technology requirements and allowed the team to coordinate a complex coffered ceiling among all disciplines.

 

Barton Education has continued with Phases 4-6 of the Pattee Libary Renovation with nearly 48,000 square feet of computer labs, media/technology classrooms and student collaboration spaces to be completed in April 2012.
