架构师提供的文本描述。该设施位于布朗克斯的哈钦森河公园和佩勒姆公园公路沿线，将加强纽约现有的911服务，加强城市在发生自然灾害或大规模紧急情况时保持通信的能力。该中心的设计是为了在不利条件下持续运作，并为该市的主要呼叫中心提供冗余服务。

Text description provided by the architects. Prominently located along the Hutchinson River Parkway and Pelham Parkway in the Bronx, this facility will augment existing 911 services in New York, strengthening the city’s ability to maintain communication in the event of a natural disaster or large-scale emergency. The center is designed to operate continually under adverse conditions and provide redundancy to the city’s primary call center.

这座45万平方英尺的防爆结构是一个完美的立方体，由于安全考虑，窗户最小.为了减轻结构的整体外观，SOM给了它一个锯齿状的表面由回收铝，提供动力和不对称。这幅占地9英亩的土地上有一座环绕着野生草丛的雕塑护堤。护堤有助于保护建筑物，而不具有压迫性的防御性。

The 450,000-square-foot, blast-resistant structure is a perfect cube, with minimal windows due to security concerns. To mitigate the structure’s monolithic appearance, SOM gave it a serrated facade made of recycled aluminum, providing both dynamism and asymmetry. The 9-acre site features a wrap-around sculptural berm of wild grasses. The berm helps protect the building without being oppressively defensive.

在酒店内部，大堂和自助餐厅都有一堵绿色的墙，为压力很大的接电话者创造了一个舒缓的环境。它还作为一个自然空气懒虫，吸收毒素和改善整体室内空气质量。该项目旨在实现LEED银认证，其他可持续战略包括回收建筑材料和减少灌溉用水。

Inside, the lobby and cafeteria areas feature a green wall that helps create a soothing environment for stressful call takers. It also acts as a natural air  lter, drawing toxins and improving overall indoor air quality. Designed to achieve LEED® Silver certi cation, the project’s other sustainable strategies include recycled building materials and reduced water use for irrigation.
