"What makes this new building especially significant is not only that Autodesk is reinforcing our commitment to the Boston area, but that we're also partnering with local architecture, engineering and construction firms who use our software to achieve the sustainability goals of the project."During the design of 1560 Trapelo Road, KlingStubbins and Tocci Building Companies used a variety of Autodesk solutions collaboratively in the BIM process. Using the Autodesk Revit platform for BIM, the firms were able to create coordinated, digital design information and documentation, and use that information to more accurately predict energy performance, as well as appearance and cost."Autodesk has been advocating the use of BIM for sustainable design and construction to our customers for many years, so it is exciting to be able to adopt these practices on our own project as we work towards a Gold LEED rating," said Jay Bhatt, senior vice president, Autodesk AEC Solutions. Autodesk Vice President of Industry Strategy and Relations Phil Bernstein, FAIA, LEED AP, discussed the use of IPD on this project today in a keynote address at the Integrated Practice Symposium at the Build Boston Conference.The building is located at 1560 Trapelo Road in Waltham, Mass., and the interior was designed by architecture firm KlingStubbins and built by general contracting firm Tocci Building Companies. Autodesk intends to seek Gold LEED Certification through the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED for Core & Shell and Platinum LEED for Commercial Interior programs.The interior of the building is being designed and constructed with Autodesk's portfolio of products for building information modeling (BIM) and is the first project in New England to use the integrated project delivery(IPD) model, an innovative approach to design and construction that can accelerate project timeline and reduce costly errors. NovemAutodesk is opening a 65,000 square-foot office building in Waltham, Mass., to serve as the new headquarters for its architecture, engineering & construction (AEC) division. A 65,000 square-foot office building will serve as the headquarters for Autodesk's architecture, engineering & construction (AEC) division.
