How to Participate in BIMStorm™ Alexandria
Anyone can participate in the BIMStorm™. No technology
expertise or
knowledge of BIM is required. Begin with Option A of Observing the
results of the 24 hour BIMstorm™. There are no fees
associated with
observing.
If you want to "Play" there are easy ways to get involved.
Option 1 only requires a request for a project. “I want a
500,000 SF
Class A, LEED Silver, Category III building near Eisenhower
metro”
posted to the BIM on Demand web page.
In order to create the best teams with the right level of expertise,
certain options of “Play” require
pre-qualification.
Federal agencies can have a major role in the exercise by
actively
developing and submitting the site and facility requirements and
participating in the exercise.
Alexandria is pioneering the development of Federal Friendly
Zones™ (FFZ’s) to support the long-term economic
growth of the city and
ensure the community is sustainable for future generations. Alexandria
is almost unique within the National Capital Region, with a mixture of
historic, residential and business districts, each with its own
character and nuances, providing a vibrant community where people live,
work, shop, and play.
The concept of the Federal Friendly Zones™ is to
identify areas
and sites that can support the federal requirements and become part of
a larger integrated land use decision. Within each FFZ, there are three
types of utilizations:
- Federal campus
- Single Federal Occupied Building
- Single building with federal agency as a tenant
(dispersed)
Prior to the September exercise, various planning exercises
will be conducted.
