Abstract
GIS and CAD Integration for Facilities Management
Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Author(s): Michael Parkins
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has used a CAD based system for facilities management and planning since the late 1980's. Currently the Institute is undergoing an effort to enhance these abilities with the use of GIS. The legacy CAD system has basic GIS functionality, but is severely limited when compared to today's robust applications. In addition to increased functionality, an implementation of GIS will also allow for further integration of planning, utility, and other facility related information. The presentation will be discuss steps taken to implement the new system, including both hurdles encountered and benefits gained, and will conclude with a review of new tools available after the migration. Topics will range from the use of ArcIMS services to various types of 3D analyses with georeferenced floorplans.
