This was a multi-office project between Vancouver, Edmonton, Victoria, Boston, Calgary and Toronto that involved all disciplines of Stantec. As Stantec's new headquarters building, it was an honorable project to participate on that pushed the boundary in every way. To make things even more complicated, Dialogue was the Prime Consultent for the Parkades that connected the entire city center and tunnels underneath the towers and arena together which added another layer of coordination on top of general building performance.
As a Revit project, I was brought on to lead the the BIM Management for the project as it transitioned into Construction Documents from Design Development. The previous management was relieved of their oversight after the project experienced poor performance. I broke up the many models and optimized them for loading time with worksets and different models for heavy annotation portions of the documentation. The project transitioned from Revit Server to BIM360 Teams and even leveraged Stantec's shiny new datacenter for remote users loggin in via Citrix.
From the fruits of labor the BIM at the Human Scale R&D, we were able to showcase the Spherecase immersive rendering workflow to the client. Although they did try using the cardboard VR viewers, they preferred just a portal view on the iPad. Very much a win for the spherical rendering output.

I helped manage the models, model complex architecture, render, BOMA, area calculations, quantity take off and documentation.
