UMass Amherst

2Facilities & Campus Planning

� 26,360 Students

� 5,200 Employees

� 10.7 Million square feet

� 200+ Major Buildings (main campus)

� 1,450 acre campus

Rich GIS Data Environment

GIS Basemapping Update

Flyover April 13, 2009:

•New 0.25’ Digital Orthophotos

•Color Infrared Photography

•LiDAR Data


•LiDAR Data

•Digital Terrain Model

•1’ Contour Data

•New Planimetric Data (ie. Roads,

Hydrology, Building Footprints,

I. Compartmentalized Data (b)


I. Solution Vision

� Create Enterprise Information Systems

CAFM, GIS, CAD, BIM

� Maintain Data Ownership

� New Workflows with Minimal Disruption

� Keep Data Up-to-date


� Keep Data Up-to-date

� Eliminate Data Redundancy

� Data Interoperability is HUGE!!

Data Interoperability enables each of these aspects by

providing powerful tools to Extract Transform and Load data from one platform or place to another or manipulating the data within the same software

I. Not lost in translation


II. Examples & Discussion

� Reporting tools ( AutoCAD + DBMS)

� Campus 3D Model (AutoCAD + DBMS)

� Storm Water Utility Data ( Civil 3D / LandXML )

� Water Distribution Network (AutoCAD)


� Discussion of general framework ( ArcGIS Server/SDE as a central GIS Data Warehouse )

� Discussion of ETL procedures

� Simplifying workflows with existing tools

II. Example 2: Campus 3D model

•Campus as a complex system

•Interior vs. exterior environment


•Interior vs. exterior environment

•Importance of homogenous

information layer

•Applications

II. Example 2: Campus 3D model


Existing campus-wide GIS layers ( exterior environment)

Space Management Database ( SQL Server ~30,000 records )

AutoCAD Floor Plans (~700 floor plans, > 20 layers each) Spatial DB ( ArcSDE)

Existing campus-wide CAD layers ( exterior environment)

III. Example 2: 3D representation of rooms
