Yale University
On Yale University’s campus in New Haven, CT, Pointknown documented multiple academic and residential buildings, including Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona (SSS) Hall and Ray Tompkins House. The project focused on capturing accurate existing conditions across complex, historic structures to support campus planning and design.
Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall
A high-profile Yale academic building with neo-Gothic character, complex massing, and notable interior spaces. Pointknown captured existing conditions in a form the project team could immediately use.
Historic detail, organized for modern workflows.
Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall combines historic envelope conditions, vertical complexity, and architecturally distinctive interior spaces. For buildings like this, the value is not only in capture, but in how the information is structured after the field work is complete.
A coordinated building model makes complex existing conditions easier to understand, communicate, and build from.
From landmark exterior to detailed interior reference.
These views show the range of documentation — from building-scale context and exterior modeling to drawing output and interior room detail.

Ray Tompkins House
Beyond academic spaces, Yale trusted Pointknown to document a major athletics and administrative building — proof that the same disciplined process scales across building types on active campuses.

Ray Tompkins House adds another layer to the story: Pointknown was not documenting one isolated building, but supporting Yale with reliable existing-conditions information across distinct institutional environments. That matters to campus clients managing renovation, operations, and future change over time.
Exterior character, model coordination, and presentation-ready deliverables.
Together, these views show a building that is both historic and operational — and how Pointknown translates existing conditions into models, presentation floor plans, sections, and useful project information.

The value is not in the scan itself. It is in what your team can do next.
Design-ready deliverables
Measured information is structured into clean Revit and CAD outputs so architects, owners, and developers can move quickly.
Clear communication
Pointknown focuses on clarity. The process stays in the background. The usable result stays front and center.
One source of truth
A single field effort supports visualization, planning, modeling, and documentation—without repeated site visits or fragmented information.
If you are planning, renovating, leasing, or evaluating a building, clear existing conditions matter.
Pointknown helps design teams and property stakeholders move forward with confidence by turning existing buildings into usable, decision-ready information.
