This article aims to assess the degree of maturity of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in an Architecture and Urbanism course, identifying points of improvement and benefits, directing actions for a potential BIM implementation. The evaluation methodology investigates about Policies, Processes and Technologies of the architectural graduation course. The collection of information was done through questionnaires applied to the teaching staff. As results, it shows that BIM maturity,s level of the Institution in this course is in the ‘Defined’ level, however there are heterogeneous performances in relation to the evaluated points. It is also noticed that this result is due to the actions of a minority of teachers, not reflecting the institutionalized maturity of the entire course. On the other hand, this result indicates that efforts towards BIM adoption will start from initiatives already underway, in an environment relatively prepared for a planned insertion.
