架构师提供的文本描述。该项目是第三阶段实施朗加拉学院的总体计划(由Teeple建筑师执行)。与前两个阶段(也由我们的小组进行)一样，创造可持续、充满活力的室内和室外环境是一个关键重点。这座新大楼是一座五层高的建筑，位于校园的一个关键入口.该建筑旨在形成一个标志性的入口进入校园，强调一个大胆的悬臂。

Text description provided by the architects. This project is the third phase in the implementation of Langara College’s Master Plan (carried out by Teeple Architects). As in the case of the first two phases (also carried out by our team), the creation of sustainable, vibrant indoor and outdoor environment is a key focus. The new building is a five-storey structure situated at a key entrance to the campus. The building is intended to form an iconic gateway into the campus, emphasized by a bold cantilever.

这座大楼包含了学院中一些最重要的部门，首次合并成一个单一的协作设施。包括化学、生物学、物理/天文学、护理和计算机科学在内的科学占据了前三层，而合并的学生服务和食品服务则位于下两层。

The building contains some of the most significant Departments at the College, brought together into a single, collaborative facility for the first time. The sciences, including chemistry, biology, physics / astronomy, nursing and computer Sciences, occupy the upper three levels, while consolidated students services and food service can be found on the lower two floors.

三个较高的实验室级别是为了灵活和适应未来的变化而设计的。服务水平最高的实验室位于大楼顶部附近，最大限度地减少了排风。这就为Langara学院创造了一个经济、组织良好和动态的实验室环境。

The three upper lab levels are designed to be flexible and adaptable for future change. Labs with the highest levels of service are situated near the top of the building, minimizing fume hood exhaust runs. This results in the creation of an economic, well organized and dynamic lab environment for Langara College.

协作空间-包括戏剧性的“漩涡休息室”-渗透到所有各级，通过不同的项目区域提供视觉上的相互连接，并在最大程度上促进协作、创新和跨学科的以学习者为中心的教育。

Collaborative spaces – including the dramatic ‘Vortex Lounge’ – permeate all levels to provide visual interconnectivity through the different program zones and facilitate to the greatest degree possible collaboration, innovation and interdisciplinary learner-focused education.

通过创造一个可持续的、充满活力的室内和室外环境来推进学院的可持续性目标，该项目是LEED黄金候选项目。这在很大程度上依赖于非常有效的建筑系统以及健康的生活组成部分的充分整合。LEED的设计特点包括：节能建筑围护结构；带可调背带的低流量通风罩；节能机电系统；动态能量传递；反射和绿色屋顶；使用当地LEED核准的材料；自然通风和通过太阳能热板产生热水。

Advancing the College’s sustainability goals through the creation of a sustainable, vibrant, indoor and outdoor environment, the project is a LEED® Gold candidate. This relies heavily on very efficient building systems as well as the full integration of healthy living components. LEED® design features include: energy efficient building envelope; low flow fume hoods with adjustable sashes; energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems; dynamic energy transfer; reflective and green roofs; the use of local LEED® approved materials; natural ventilation and hot water generation via solar thermal panels.

该建筑结合了直观的导航系统，以最大程度地鼓励，通过建筑物本身，以及步行的网站。

The building incorporates intuitive navigation systems to encourage to the greatest degree possible, moving through the building itself, as well as the site on foot.

产品说明：

Product Description:

建筑物的上部三层覆盖在波纹金属雨屏中，由热破碎的外立面夹支撑。这种热效率高和成本效益高的包覆系统被挤压的铝百叶窗罩遮蔽。所需的“雕塑墙”采用工程组件Inc.开发的百叶窗系统提供了一定程度的遮阳效果，同时在视觉上将显著悬臂上地板统一为奇异的图标体积。百叶窗密度和方向仔细地与窗放置相协调。铝百叶窗跨在垂直HSS翅片之间，这些翅片通过在每个楼板处的热破碎的刀板连接固定。海洋包层提供了雕塑墙系统与建筑围护结构的无缝集成

The upper three floors of the building are clad in a corrugated metal rain screen, supported by thermally broken facade clips. This thermally efficient and cost-effective cladding system is obscured by a shroud of extruded aluminum louvers. The ‘Sculpture Wall’ louver system, developed with Engineered Assemblies Inc. provides a degree of solar shading while serving to visually unify the dramatically cantilevered upper floors into singular iconic volume. Louver density and orientations were carefully coordinated with window placements. The aluminum louvers span between vertical HSS fins which are secured by thermally broken knife plate connections at each floor slab. Seamless integration of the Sculpture Wall system with the building envelope was provided by Marine Cladding & Sheet Metal LTD.

建筑的第二层是CPI四墙，这是一个聚碳酸酯墙板系统，充满半透明的绝缘。该系统用于在满足建筑物严格的热性能要求的同时提供漫射采光。一个高度协作的设计辅助阶段导致了一些创新。这些措施包括简化聚碳酸酯与幕墙之间的过渡细节，避免在楼板上使用双框架连接，以及使用人造角面板。

The second storey of the building is clad with CPI Quadwall, a Polycarbonate Wall Panel system filled with translucent insulation. This system was used to provide diffuse daylighting while satisfying the building’s stringent thermal performance requirements. A highly collaborative design-assist phase resulted in several innovations. These include the streamlining of transition details between Polycarbonate and curtain wall, the avoidance of double-frame joints at floor slabs and the use of mitered corner panels.
