The Oriental Institute, established in 1919, is a world-renowned showcase for the art, history, and archeology of the ancient Near East and is located on the University of Chicago’s Hyde Park Campus.

In 2016, ZS performed laser scanning of the exterior and interior of the museum. The laser scan data was registered (i.e. aligned) to the University’s coordinate system by utilizing surveyed control points prior to creating a “point cloud.” An as-built Building Information Model (BIM) was then created by using the point cloud as a 3-dimensional underlay. The resulting BIM will be utilized by the University for streamlining their facility management operations.
