ZIGURAT Welcomes Vicki Reynolds as Director of the Master in Global BIM Management

ZIGURAT Institute of Technology has recruited Vicki Reynolds, a global expert in BIM and Digital Construction, as the new Academic Director of the Master's in Global BIM Management. ZIGURAT pioneered training in this discipline not only in Spain but also globally. With Reynolds’ appointment, the master’s degree consolidates its position as an international benchmark, enhances its practical approach, and remains at the forefront of innovation.

The new Programme Director, currently Chief Technology Officer at Catalyst, brings extensive experience in the digitalisation and transformation of the construction industry.

As a BIM consultant and former ambassador of the Nima (UK BIM Alliance), Reynolds has worked with a wide range of stakeholders in the sector, promoting quality, safety, and efficiency through digitalisation. She has also dedicated part of her career to encouraging the participation of women in the construction industry and in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), particularly at younger ages.

According to Pau Farré, CEO of ZIGURAT Institute of Technology, “Vicki Reynolds brings experience, innovative vision, and a passion for the advancement of digitalisation in construction. Her appointment elevates our Master in BIM Management to an outstanding level of excellence.”

“What excites me about this programme is how open both faculty and students are to change and learning. The construction sector is constantly evolving, and the master’s degree adapts to this changing environment,” says Reynolds.

“As a distinguishing feature of ZIGURAT, the programme is structured in such a way that it fosters discussions and debates not covered in other academic offerings, within an environment that fully mirrors the reality of the construction world,” adds Farré.

In this respect, Reynolds underscores the importance of cultural change in the sector to effectively embrace digital tools. “In this master’s programme, students must collaborate and build relationships under high-pressure conditions to create a digital model, which is exactly how it works in real project environments,” she notes.

Reynolds’ appointment is further proof of the institution’s commitment to academic excellence. Farré emphasises, “Our ambition is to remain at the forefront of digital innovation in architecture, engineering, and construction, preparing professionals who can lead teams and manage projects using the most advanced technologies.”
