Who

City/county building departments and their component organizations:

  • Public schools

  • Private & religious schools

  • School administrators and support personnel

  • Athletic directors

  • Universities

  • Campus facility management offices 

What

  • Comply with government mandates and funded programs/bills: all of which can be delivered and/or verified using Arcadus’ 3D digital twins

    • Adhere or follow in the footsteps of various state bills and mandates

      • Florida: Public K-12 school districts are eligible for school mapping data funds under Florida House Bill 301.

      • Illinois: Public K-12 school districts are eligible for crisis response mapping data funds under Illinois Section 50 legislation.

      • Michigan: Public, intermediate, and nonpublic K-12 school districts are eligible for crisis response mapping data funds under Michigan 97d legislation; Michigan Universities are eligible for critical incident mapping funds under Michigan SB173.

      • Texas: All K-12 School districts and open-enrollment charter schools are required to provide DPS with accurate emergency response maps under Texas House Bill 3.

      • Wisconsin: Every public and private school is required to submit blueprints to local law enforcement. All schools are eligible for crisis response mapping data funds under Wisconsin Act 109.

      • Virginia: House Bill 741 provides $6.5 million in state funding to help school districts create digital floor plans for public safety. 

      • Tennessee - HB0322 Requirements - specifies the following requirements for public schools and school districts

        • Schools must share safety plans, floor plans, and security systems access with state and local law enforcement annually

        • All newly built public school facilities must install classroom door locks and secure visitor entry vestibules

  • Comply with and provide evidence of recommended security guidance and practices – including public safety measures (smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, AED defibrillators, etc.)

  • Share models with public safety organizations and systems 

    • Incorporate within 911 CAD applications, onboard vehicle displays, etc.

    • Prepare and plan for emergencies and disasters with a more complete visual basis 

      • Prepare and plan for active shooter situations (ASHER & ALICE)

      • Plan for COVID-like situations re: compartmentalization

  • Present school building attributes via a “virtual tour” (available to authorized/approved users); 

    • Facilitate new student and teacher orientation

    • Present handicapped accessibility features

    • Present school building for “Back to School” night

    • Promote non-academic school facility functions – Voting, community performances, civic meetings and activities

    • Present university housing and available student facilities (gyms, common areas, libraries, etc.)

  • Enhance learning curriculum – Incorporate digital education and training, immersive training (with AR/VR), and leverage more advanced remote learning

  • Benefit from other (broad public sector) scenarios and use cases – link here: Representative Use Cases – Applicable for Most Public Sector Organizations

Why

  • Proactive emergency preparedness and planning as well as health and safety - Our solutions are agile and can be a valuable part of planning exercises to help schools protect their students from harm

  • Need for modernized approaches – Our solutions help organizations achieve greater velocity and efficiencies in saving lives and protecting property

  • Execute with ease and affordability – Our solutions provide fast, easy, and cost-effective tools to scan and produce interactive 3D models, which can be produced by teachers, students, or other non-technical personnel

  • Constrained budgets – Our solutions are delivered at a fraction of the cost of current hardware and software environments, and have ease of use where they can be used “right out of the box”

  • Personnel constraints – Our solutions help schools streamline operations, and single models can be used multiple times for different objectives (One model – multiple missions.)

  • Speed to desired outcomes – Our solutions can scan whole buildings in minutes, and deliver full-featured 3D models the same day. We have scanned entire school districts within a single month (during summer vacation, etc..)

  • Keep pace with technological change – Our solution capabilities offered by 3D digital twins enable schools to remain competitive and differentiated in how students are educated and supported

How 

  • Include as part of existing workflows and processes – Add scanning/capture of a building or space as part of normal activities; a hyperlink to the model can easily be added to existing forms or digital workflows

  • Combine with other data sets re: visual overlays as to where injuries have occurred, where facility maintenance is pending, and other KPIs for staff and contractors

  • Use 3D models for digital space design and planning and site-reconfiguration/optimization design (COVID, increased student populations, etc.) Picture example at right: 

  • Interface with existing systems and workflows – 3D models can be included within facility management systems, building department task management, and other school and education systems to improve context and documentation amongst all stakeholders
