RBH集团总裁兼首席执行官罗恩·贝特(RonBeit)表示：“我们与理查德·梅耶(RichardMeier)密切合作。

Ron Beit, President and CEO of RBH Group LLC said, “We have worked closely with Richard Meier & Partners Architects over the past decade to design not only these three outstanding mixed-use buildings in Teachers Village, but also the two school buildings of Teachers Village as well as the catalytic SoMa master plan that will transform Newark’s critical retail corridors in and around Market Street. The hard work of Richard, Vivian Lee and Dukho Yeon on this project, and their careful attention to detail and the long-term sustainability of this project are a testimony to their professionalism and commitment to setting a high standard for design and livability in the heart of downtown Newark. ” “It was the brilliance of our partner Nicolas Berggruen who made the introduction to Richard and insisted that we adhere to international quality design to reflect our global aspirations for the City of Newark.”

每一座新建筑都是针对具体地点而设计的。街道外观高度是根据纽瓦克居住市中心计划管理的。新的哈尔西街零售走廊是发展的核心，为充满活力的街道生活提供了各种场所。住宅空间和学校的设计都有宽敞的窗户，对下面街道的光线和活动开放。按照纽瓦克居住市中心计划的要求，所有面向哈尔西街的新建筑正面都是四层楼高，不超过60英尺高。根据分区计划规例的规定，该等建筑物受哈尔西街影响。

Each new building is site specific and designed relative to its context. Street façade heights are regulated in accordance with the Newark Living Downtown Plan. The new Halsey Street retail corridor is at the heart of the development and offers a mix of venues for a vibrant street life. The residential spaces and schools are designed with generous windows that are open to the light and activity of the streets below. As required by the Newark Living Downtown Plan, all of the new building fronts facing Halsey Street are four-stories tall, not exceeding 60-feet in height. As permitted by zoning regulations, the buildings are setback from Halsey Street.

RichardMeier，评论：“在新泽西州，教师村是几项新发展举措的重要组成部分，所有这些新建筑的建设反映了我们对振兴纽瓦克市的承诺。自然光是一个非常重要的考虑因素，所有不同的公寓、教室和零售空间将充满自然光线，并对社区有不同的看法。光触摸每个组件以及各种建筑物的所有内部，使一切都成为一个和谐的整体。”

Richard Meier, comments: “Teachers Village is one important component of several new development initiatives in New Jersey, and the construction of all these new buildings reflects our commitment to the revitalization of downtown Newark. Natural light has been a very important consideration and all the different apartments, classrooms and retail spaces will be full of natural light with various views to the neighborhood. Light touches every component and all the interiors of the various buildings bringing everything into a harmonious whole.”

“教师村”是美国最早采用美国绿色建筑委员会的LEED社区发展项目之一，这表明该项目符合最高水平的可持续设计，而且社区整合了智能增长、城市化和绿色建筑战略的原则。以前的停车场被改造成一个可持续的新社区，为教师提供了居住在他们工作地点附近的机会，并在市中心一个负担得起的、安全的环境中体验到高质量的健康生活。该项目地理位置便利，可受益于纽瓦克高效的公共交通系统，从广泛的地方和地区公交线路到华盛顿街轻轨和纽瓦克宾州车站(Newark Penn Station)、NJTRANSIT枢纽、美国铁路公司(Amtrak)列车以及前往曼哈顿的轨道列车服务。

Teachers Village is one of the first developments in America to pursue the LEED Neighborhood Development designation by the US Green Building Council, indicating that the project meets the highest levels of sustainable design and that the neighborhood integrates the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green building strategies. Former parking lots are transformed into a sustainable new neighborhood that offers its teacher residents opportunities to live near where they work and to experience high-quality healthy living in an affordable, safe environment downtown. The development is conveniently located to benefit from Newark’s efficient public transportation system, from extensive local and regional bus lines to a short walk to the Washington Street light rail and Newark Penn Station, hub for NJTRANSIT, AMTRAK trains and PATH train service to Manhattan.

教师村将通过激活哈尔西街和威廉街的街景来恢复一种地域性，吸引居民、学生和游客到这个充满活力的新社区以及现有的文化、娱乐和教育基础设施，这些机构包括新泽西州表演艺术中心、NJ历史学会、纽瓦克博物馆、纽瓦克公共图书馆的主要分支机构和保诚中心竞技场。教师村居民可进入开放空间，包括邻近三个城市公园和社区花园。

Teachers Village will restore a sense of place by activating the streetscape, along Halsey Street and William Street, attracting residents, students, and visitors to this dynamic new community and to the existing cultural, entertainment and educational infrastructure with institutions such as the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the NJ Historical Society, Newark Museum, the main branch of the Newark Public Library and the Prudential Center Arena. Access to open space for Teachers Village residents includes proximity to three city parks and community gardens.

副合伙人杨俊浩(Dukho Yeon)评论道：“我们特别自豪地实现了这个项目。多年前，我们与RBH集团一起设想了这个项目，有着温和的手段，但目标远大；建筑对环境敏感，但有目的地为教师创造宽敞的生活空间；在纽瓦克市中心有一个充满活力的新社区。”

Dukho Yeon, Associate Partner-in-Charge, comments: “We are especially proud to realize this project that we envisioned together with RBH group many years ago with modest means but ambitious goals; with architecture that is sensitive to context but purposeful in creating generous living spaces for teachers, and a vibrant new neighborhood in downtown Newark.”
