“This past September Hammond introduced me to ARCHICAD and it changed my whole world view on BIM! My projects began representing me as a student of architecture and making corrections were now easy to fix. “My first exposure to BIM was learning Revit under the instruction of Professor Hammond at FAMU two years ago,” explained Resse.

Veleda Miller, GRAPHISOFT BIM Consultant worked with Hammond and Resse to make the course available. Reese attended an AIA Lunch and Learn, on the recommendation of Rhonda Hammond, a Professor at FAMU and Architect at Tallahassee, FL-based ARCHICAD firm, Hammond Design Group. During the event, Reese learned about and fell in love with ARCHICAD and gathered a group of her fellow architecture students to petition Professor Hammond to start an online ARCHICAD course. The course got its start thanks in part to the efforts of Shanelle Reese, an architecture student at FAMU and the President of Alpha Rho Chi (the National Professional Fraternity for Architecture and the Allied Arts). We watched students present final projects, some of which were created in ARCHICAD, after completion of a new ARCHICAD online course – “ARCHICAD & BIM Workflow Fundamentals & Intermediate Training”. GRAPHISOFT North America is celebrating an exciting day at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU).
