Design technology company Autodesk recently expanded its presence in New England with a new headquarters for its Architecture, Engineering,and Construction (AEC) Solutions Division.Located in Waltham, Massachusetts, the new facility accommodates staff expansion and off ersadditional space for meeting with customers, the press, and the community. Right from the start, Autodesk viewed this project as an opportunity to implement several new trends in the building industry, including integrated project delivery (IPD),
sustainable design, digital design-to-fabrication,and the technical process underpinning all of them—building information modeling (BIM). “We felt strongly that it was important to use these methodologies because we advocate their use to millions of customers around the world,” says Phil Bernstein, FAIA, vice president, Industry Strategy and Relations of the AEC Solutions Division at
Autodesk. Throughout the project, the team relied on multiple Autodesk BIM solutions integrated with the Autodesk® Revit® platform. (KlingStubbins Tocci Building Companies, RB Woodcraft)
