I would like to request high resolution scans of the architectural and structural plans of the Biological Sciences Building here in the university. These shall be used for my thesis that aims to apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) to support building fire safety management after earthquakes specifically for that of the structure. This specific structure was selected due to its numerous laboratories and storage rooms that contain flammable chemicals, rendering the structure prone to fire. Thank you very much for your consideration and I hope for your quick and favorable response.
