Abstract
Building Information Modeling is being rapidly adopted in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Due to its positive impact on project quality, interdisciplinary collaboration and the reduction of construction costs, the BIM adoption rate is even higher in complex construction projects that require hi-end architectural and engineering design solutions. From this perspective, this chapter presents a case study project regarding BIM implementation in a large scale healthcare and medical education facility project. Focusing on the facility design process, the deployment of BIM methods and related techniques are investigated in detail along with significant benefits and implementation issues. The chapter includes a literature review on the advantages of BIM in healthcare and education projects and provides an in-depth inquiry of Cerrahpaşa Healthcare and Education Facility which is under development as one of the largest healthcare and medical education projects in Turkey. The evaluation involves specific design and assessment tasks from the case study such as design reviews, project coordination and immersive VR visualizations. The findings from the case study suggest task-specific advantages of BIM for addressing the complex design problems of large-scale hospitals also significant challenges as compared to conventional design and project development methods.
