Case Study: Aldevron accelerates 14-acre campus design with SketchUp

BWBR & Aldevron - Customer Case Study

The customer, Aldevron, a biological science firm, partnered with the architectural firm BWBR to design and build its new 14-acre live-work campus in Fargo, North Dakota. Their challenge was to prototype and iterate on architectural designs for this large-scale project swiftly and accurately, needing a tool that would facilitate easy collaboration and visualization for their internal clients. They chose SketchUp as their primary design tool for this task.

Using SketchUp, the team was able to quickly prototype spaces and make on-the-fly iterations, with accurate measurements and 3D visualization proving invaluable for gaining client approval. The software’s flexibility, ease of use, and speed were crucial, especially during the conceptual design phase. The solution from SketchUp, including the use of 3D Warehouse to save modeling time, enabled the successful completion of the entire Aldevron campus.
