Girls Common Room (GCR) is located at north-east side of fountain area at NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, Pakistan. It is an exclusive girl’s area used by them to take breaks between their studies and hosts a canteen, prayer area, restrooms, ablution area, seating areas. With increase in numbers of female at the campus, existing space of GCR is falling short for their needs and require general renovation. With existing facility looking like a facility of 1960s and deteriorated conditions of restrooms, alumni visiting the campus decided to work on rehabilitating of GCR. Our female engineers deserve a decent area serving quality food in an ambience complimenting their hard work and providing basic facilities where they feel refresh.

Department of Civil Engineering, NED University of Engineering and Technology is a proud custodian of state-of-the-art Building Information Modeling (BIM) Centre. The BIM Centre has been established through the kind support of NED Alumni Association of Tri-State, USA which is first of its kind in Pakistan and was inaugurated on September 29, 2016. NED Alumni Association of Tri-States funded this centre and the amount received was Rs. 2.2 million. The centre is equipped with fully air-conditioned environment with High Performance Computers, 23-inch 10-Point Projected Capacitive, IPS Touch Technology for Color Accuracy and Wide Viewing Angle Dual Extended Monitors, 65-inch 10-Point Projected Capacitive, IPS Touch Technology for Color Accuracy and Wide Viewing Angle Screen for demonstrating different models. Currently, the software inventory includes: Autodesk Revit 2021, Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2021, Tekla Structures and Tekla Structural Designer, Primavera P6, 3Ds Max, and Unity 3D. BIM Centre is engaged in the following ways: 1. Teaching and demonstrating the hands-on application of the BIM tools to the undergraduate, post graduate and Ph.D. students of NED University especially to the students of Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture. 2. Modelling all phases (Planning, Design, Execution & Facility Management) of construction case projects on BIM in order to increase the awareness of local construction industry and enhance their trust in the BIM technology. 3. Demonstrating via case studies the application of BIM in the local scenario so as to increase the awareness as well as confidence of industry stakeholders regarding the potential of BIM for achieving high performance construction project life cycle. 4. Studying future challenges and BIM’s long term impacts on the construction industry. 5. Developing training for continuing education of practicing professionals to implement BIM as well as curriculum development at undergraduate and graduate levels for civil engineering and allied disciplines. 6. Developing capacity for industry consulting on BIM by slowly and gradually upgrading the lab through other sources with respect to professional software licenses and other needed hardware such as VR tools (VR Holographic Display, VR Glasses), etc.
