    Description

    Throughout 15 years of collaboration, Windover Construction and Endicott College have embarked on more than 25 design-build projects, transforming the campus located on Boston's North Shore to accommodate growing student enrollment. This partnership has seen the construction of new classrooms, laboratories, and residence halls, as well as a student center, a main dining hall, and an auditorium. The trust Endicott placed in Windover empowered the firm to become a steward of the college's growth, interweaving the institution's history and vision into each project. This case study will explore the digital transformation journey from scan-to-building information modeling (BIM), digital handover, and the innovative use of digital twins and IoT to enable real-time data collection, enhancing facilities management, and paving the way for a smarter, more efficient campus. Join us for an insightful exploration featuring perspectives from Endicott College's facilities director, the virtual design and construction (VDC) team behind the digital-twin models, and an Autodesk expert.
