5. © 2008 NIBS What is a Building Information Model? National BIM Standard Definition of BIM A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward. – A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. The BIM is a shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability.

The building should exist for the next 100 years. All design should be coordinated through the use of a “3D” model. At completion, USC will have a fully integrated BIM model.
