University of Kentucky Implements Lynn Imaging's Construction Information Management Software

University of Kentucky officials are using a new digital construction information management tool to manage over 30 active projects totaling approximately $800 million. The Web-based eCommunication system designed by Lynn Imaging was adopted as the University enters a significant capital development phase, with projects including a major expansion and upgrading of the Student Center, a modernization to Commonwealth Stadium, a state-of-the-art science classroom and lab facility, and interior fit-out of the new University Patient Care Facility. The UK Capital Projects Management Division partnered with Lynn Imaging to utilize eCommunication software effective April 3, 2014, and UK successfully transitioned existing project data from an existing system to the eCommunication system as of early June. eCommunication is able to manage project documentation, optimize workflow processes and accountability, and process change orders. The technology uses permissions-based Internet access for all team members, regardless of project scale, providing continuous access to always-current construction documents. This allows project teams to maintain communication while meeting their deadlines and staying within budget, with digital tracking providing complete and readily available project closeout upon completion.
