The design of a new federal courthouse in Jackson, Mississippi, was well under way in 2005 when the U.S. General Services Administration selected the structure for a pilot project on the use of building information modeling (BIM) software. Although BIM was a new approach at the time for most members of the design and construction teams, the lessons learned during the courthouse project make a strong case in its favor. When the u.s. general services Administration (GSA) selected the design team for a new federal court house building in Jackson, Mississippi, the architect-New York City-based H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture-began the design and documentation of the 410,000 sq ft project using conventional two-dimensional (2-D) software and processes. Between 2002 and 2005, H3 worked with the structural engineers-Houston-based Walter P Moore and Associates, Inc.
