Brown University Medical Education Building
Structural Renovation
The new home of Brown’s prestigious Warren Alpert School of Medicine, this project is located at the heart of Brown’s new campus within the historic Jewelry District of Providence. The original building was a 134,000 gsf former manufacturing facility.
Odeh Engineers used a detailed Building Information Model at all phases of design to make the project a success. During concept design, renderings and animations of the BIM illustrated the approach to gain approval from the client. During construction documentation, an integrated model was critical to coordination of the new structural framing with the new architectural and MEP systems. Finally, the contractor used the model to perform detailed coordination during construction.
