架构师提供的文本描述。UBC的新校友中心自今年夏天开业以来，尽管规模不大，预算也异常具有挑战性，但对过去、现在和未来的校友来说，它对校园生活产生了重大影响。全身心地拥抱这座建筑已经远远超出了大学和社会的期望。

Text description provided by the architects. Since it's opening this summer, UBC's new Alumni Centre, despite its modest size and unusually challenging budget, has had a significant impact on life on campus for past, present and future alumni. The wholehearted embrace of the building has far exceeded the university’s and the community’s expectations.

展馆建筑的设计是为了反映其独特的太平洋西北海岸环境，特别是UBC的校园。这座建筑的玻璃外壳日夜都发生了巨大的变化，从灰色的天空到阳光都发生了巨大的变化。该服务大厦的东北象限锚定是在白色Shouldice混凝土块，以借鉴广泛使用的白砖在UBC的现代化校园。在寒冷的灰色气候中，当地的BC森林使室内充满活力，提供了物质上的温暖。该项目旨在实现LEED黄金认证。

The pavilion building was designed to reflect its distinct Pacific Northwest coast context and UBC's campus in particular. The frit glass exterior skin of the building changes dramatically from day to night, and from grey skies to sunshine. The service block that anchors the north-east quadrant of the building is clad in white shouldice concrete block to reference the extensive use of white brick on UBC's modernist campus. Local BC woods animate the interior and provide a material warmth in a cold grey climate. The project has been designed to achieve LEED Gold accreditation.

该设计是一个广泛的协商过程的结果，不仅包括大学利益攸关方，而且还包括穆斯林第一民族的代表，校园位于其领土上。对大学和第一民族历史的引用都被仔细地整合到了建筑中。

The design is a result of a broad consultative process that not only included university stakeholders, but also representatives of the Musqueam First Nation, on whose territory the campus is located. References to both the university and First Nation history have been carefully integrated into the architecture.

A celebration hall with 360-views of the campus context, and meeting rooms occupy the second floor. The Board of Governors meeting room has pride of place on the third floor at the western tip of the building - with a spectacular view towards Main Mall and the heart of the campus.

Design Concept

圆滑的白色陶瓷玻璃外墙的展馆建筑与广泛使用当地BC木材在内部。粗糙锯红雪松是用于天花板，肥皂和外部覆层的戏剧性特色楼梯连接所有的建筑层次，从创业@ubc集线器在白天照明的地下室，最高的天空休息室在三楼。楼梯的内部表面覆盖着高度耐用的道格拉斯冷杉。

The sleek white ceramic frit exterior of the pavilion building contrasts with the extensive use of local BC wood on the interior. Rough sawn red cedar is used on the ceilings, soffits and exterior cladding of the dramatic feature stair that connects all the building levels from the entrepreneurship@ubc hub in the day-lit basement culminating in a sky lounge on the third floor. The interior surfaces of the stairs are clad in highly durable Douglas fir.

游客的建筑体验是在东西向的轴线上组织起来的，它将开阔的视野与西面的主校区连接起来，并对位于大楼东端的校园中最古老的榆树之一进行了深入的体验。当你从一层爬到另一层楼梯时，与这棵壮丽的树的视觉联系就会发生变化，直到你到达位于顶端树枝的水平的天空休息室。

The visitors' experience of the building is organized on the east-west axis linking the expansive view to the main campus to the west with an intimate experience of one of the campus' oldest elm trees that is located at the eastern end of the building. As one ascends the stairs from level to level, the visual connection with this magnificent tree changes till one reaches the sky lounge located level with the top branches.

灵活性、耐久性和可持续性

Flexibility, durability and sustainability

所有公共空间的设计都具有高度的灵活性-底层壁炉休息室、图书馆、会议室和咖啡馆都可以为一次大型社交活动相互连接，或者单独运作。二楼300的庆祝空间也可以细分，以容纳多种用途。

All the public spaces are designed with a high degree of flexibility - the ground floor fireplace lounge, library, meeting room and café can all be interconnected for one large social event, or operate separately. The second floor celebration space for 300 can also be sub-divided to accommodate a multiplicity of uses.
