Case Study: University of St. Michael’s College preserves St. Basil’s Church with Cintoo

University of St. Michael’s College digitizes St. Basil’s Church with Cintoo in 541 scans

The University of St. Michael’s College, responsible for the historic St. Basil’s Church, faced significant challenges due to fragmented and often non-existent architectural documentation for the complex heritage site. This lack of accurate records made planning renovations and preservation efforts inefficient and costly. To address this, the university partnered with Cintoo, leveraging its cloud platform for data management and visualization after scans were completed by specialist iSCANO.

Using Cintoo, the multi-modal scan data was converted into high-resolution 3D meshes, creating a single source of truth. This allowed for remote inspections, annotations, and collaboration, which reduced the need for site visits and enabled precise planning. The project resulted in a highly accurate digital archive, giving the university long-term data ownership, the ability to reuse scans for future projects, and a more efficient workflow for communicating with stakeholders.
