University of Arkansas – Vol Walker Building – Exterior

caitlin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:49:15 +0000

Working with the University of Arkansas’ Facilities Management and Planning Departments, CAST is documenting the historical Vol Walker Building and its renovation. Here are merged scans of the exterior of the building which were collected with the Leica C10 Scan Station scanner. The project includes multiple floors within the building interior as well as the building exterior.Exterior scans were collected with a point spacing of approximately 5-10 cm. The data sets have been separated due to file size and data density. Interior scans were collected with a point spacing that ranged from less than a centimeter at the most dense (at a range of < 1 meter) to approximately 5 cm at the least dense (at a range of 25 meters). These scans were then reduced to a more consistent point spacing of 1 cm for potential future use in historical preservation documentation.

Working with the University of Arkansas’ Facilities Management and Planning Departments, CAST is documenting the historical Vol Walker Building and its renovation. Here are merged scans of the basement or ground floor of the interior, which were collected with the Z+F 5005i Scanner. The project includes multiple floors within the building interior as well as the building exterior. Interior scans were collected with a point spacing that ranged from less than a centimeter at the most dense (at a range of < 1 meter) to approximately 5 cm at the least dense (at a range of 25 meters). These scans were then reduced to a more consistent point spacing of 1 cm for potential future use in historical preservation documentation. Exterior scans were collected with a point spacing of approximately 5-10 cm. The data sets have been separated due to file size and data density.
