Added value
Most buildings do not provide both teaching and workshop facilities, or have the capability to move a full working train in and out of the building. The National College for High Speed Rail in Doncaster was designed utilising Autodesk Revit to comply with Willmott Dixons requirements for a full Level 2 BIM project.
Our client Willmott Dixon submitted the NCHSR project to the Constructing Excellence in Yorkshire and Humber Awards 2017 which incorporated the Briggs & Forrester MEP model and won the Digital Construction category. The project also won the Best Educational Building & Winner of Winners categories at the Building Excellence Awards 2018 South Yorkshire & Humber, LABC, Regional Winner at the Building Excellence Awards 2018 and Headline Sponsor Winner at the H&V News Awards 2018.
