The Virtual Scale Model of Sterckwijk has been updated with new designs a number of times.
More information can be found on the Sterckwijk website.
The Health Campus Boxmeer is an area spanning roughly 54 acres on which a number of care-related activities will be unfolded the upcoming years. Highlights are the new Maas Hospital and the Hansa Oncology Clinic. Additionally, a care-hotel, a Thorax clinic, a medical training firm, a GGZ building, a ROC building and a Medical High school are in development. Next to that a number of commercial companies operating in the medical field will be located in the same area.
"The Virtual Scale Model helps us to tell our story", says Vincent Ronnes, project leader at the municipality of Boxmeer. "It is a totally new project for the east part of Brabant and northern Limburg. A better way of visually explaining doesn't exist. The Virtual Scale Model makes the development process clearer. It is also a wonderful way to keep an audience enthralled. People are easily distracted during a long monologue. The Virtual Scale Model keeps the audience focused in an enjoyable way."
"The employees of 3D capacity are nice people to work with. They respond quickly and appointments can be adjusted easily. The beauty of the Virtual Scale Model is of course that a it can always be updated to the last project status. For our project this is very important, because the designs of all buildings can by no means be delivered simultaneously. The total project will span roughly ten years."
