Pietro Ferrari, program coordinator of the architectural technology program in the School of Architectural Studies at George Brown College’s Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies (CCET) has joined the board of directors of the Canada BIM Council.
Heading up the council’s education and research committee, Ferrari will spearhead the committee’s focus on exploring and understanding how BIM is best implemented within the AECOO (architecture, engineering, construction, owner and operator) industries while also understanding the connection between education and industry. Ferrari will be taking over from Amin Hammad, an associate professor at Concordia University’s Institute for Information Systems Engineering.
