Learn more about the Pegula Ice Arena
The Pegula Ice Arena in University Park, Pennsylvania – part of Pennsylvania State University – was built in 2014 for college-level ice hockey matches. Its construction was developed with a BIM execution plan that has now been used as a template for the construction of other arenas. BIM was implemented through 4D modeling and was used at all stages – from design to student-athlete recruitment through to operations and sales – while also reducing construction time and cost, saving over $1.2 million. It also allowed for the creation and use of the Computerized Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) that helped facilitate the recruitment process.

This website provides published standards, guidance, useful links and other resources, such as learning outcomes and relevant information to support the digital journey of all organizations towards the implementation of BIM. The aim is to adopt a unified approach to managing information, foster innovative technological solutions and stimulate ongoing knowledge sharing.
The UK’s built environment* sector is on a journey towards a smarter, more efficient and sustainable future – a vital stage of which is adoption of the UK BIM Framework and its guidance.
BSI, CDBB & the UK BIM Alliance have created, and continue to develop and maintain the UK BIM Framework and associated tools and standards – enabling organisations, regardless of size or existing digital maturity, to future-proof their businesses.
As a partnership we are committed to making the benefits of better information management appropriate for all UK organisations. Our goal is to bring everyone along on this journey and we encourage you to adopt the Framework and its guidance.
*built environment: a collection of man-made or induced physical objects located in a particular area or region.
Mibim is an open, self-assessment web platform to measure the BIM maturity level of an organization. The core pillars of the BIM implementation considered in Mibim are: Strategy, Processes, People, and Technology. At the end of the evaluation, the platform provides a report with key findings and recommendations.
Special strategy, guidance and standards for transport infrastructure organizations (highways, railways), related to the main Czech’s national BIM strategy.
This website, updated on a quarterly basis, offers presentations of public sector’s pilot projects in the Czech Republic.
In 2020, the Tri An Extended Hydropower Plant Project agreed to implement BIM technology to its operations, upon being chosen as a BIM pilot project with the UK Global Infrastructure Programme. The project is intended to prove the effectiveness of BIM, which is expected to be widely implemented throughout the largest power company in the country, Vietnam Electricity.
A Smart Object Library provides a bank of CAD objects that are developed in such a way as to enhance connectivity between different datastores for regularly used asset types. The library is a database of frequently used asset types (smart objects) in template form, which allows for the development of 3D models of new or existing assets with relative ease and minimal data input. It also allows for easier sharing of data with third parties.
These modules from the Environment Agency’s BIM e-learning cover the key concepts, benefits and purposes of BIM – from procurement to delivery and stage end.
Watch: Digital Asset Data and Information at the Environment Agency
The Environment Agency as a client is investing in change called Creating Asset Management Capacity (CAMC). The element within this – known as Digital Asset Data Information (DADI) – is a digital programme of work with a whole life focus on how the Environment Agency as an owner operator will digitally create, maintain and operate its asset estate in the future. This video provides an overview of some of the activity that is and will be undertaken.
DADI aims to ensure the Environment Agency can access data regardless of sources or devices, by procuring only the necessary information. A central data repository will be created, which can automatically import information from external sources. DADI will also digitise engineering standards by integrating 3D models.
