华盛顿-2014年3月26日-全球建筑和设计公司Perkins将宣布完成美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)约翰·爱德华·波特神经科学研究中心第二阶段的工作。位于美国国立卫生研究院位于马里兰州贝塞斯达校区西边的32万平方英尺的研究中心由十个不同的研究所组成，包括国家神经疾病和中风研究所(NINDS)和国家心理健康研究所(NIMH)。科学家们的共同努力将进一步推动突破性发现和医学进步，影响全球神经科学研究。

WASHINGTON – March 26, 2014 – Global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will announces the completion of Phase II of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) John Edward Porter Neuroscience Research Center. Located on the western edge of NIH’s Bethesda, Maryland campus, the 320,000 square foot research center is comprised of ten different institutes including the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Working together scientists will further groundbreaking discoveries and medical advancements impacting neuroscience research globally.

该设施综合了各种创新的可持续性特征，包括地热水井、地源热泵、冷却光束、LED灯和增加能源产生和使用的光伏阵列。该研究中心还拥有一套技术先进的核磁共振成像设备，这是世界上第一套能够提供高分辨率成像的核磁共振成像设备。

A variety of innovative sustainability features were integrated into the facility including geothermal wells; ground source heat pumps; chilled beams; LED lights; and a photovoltaic array which augments energy generation and usage. The research center is also home to a technologically advanced MRI suite, the first of its kind in the world, which is capable of providing high resolution imaging.

“该项目的设计意图是创造一个欢迎和有效的环境，以支持创新和发现，”首席和设计总监曼努埃尔·卡德雷查说，AIA，LEED AP。

“The project’s design intent was to create a welcoming and efficient environment that supports innovation and discovery,” said Principal and Design Director Manuel Cadrecha, AIA, LEED AP.

项目组设计了鼓励协作和交流的空间；利用可以随时间变化的灵活的实验室架构；以及适应从细胞培养到计算机科学的各种研究方法。该项目的第二阶段与2004年完成的第一阶段有着不可分割的联系，它们一起涵盖了美国最大的神经科学设施，实现了一个最先进的、跨学科的生物医学研究机构的最初愿景。珀金斯项目小组将在项目的整个规划和设计阶段与著名科学家密切合作，并优先考虑他们对高度定制和灵活工作环境的具体需求。

The project team designed spaces that encourage collaboration and communication; utilize flexible laboratory architecture that can change over time; and accommodate diverse research approaches from cell culture to computer science. The second phase of the project is inextricably linked with the first phase, completed in 2004, and together they encompass the largest neuroscience facility in the United States and fulfill the original vision of a state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary biomedical research facility. The Perkins+Will project team worked closely with notable scientists throughout the programming and design phases of the project and prioritized their specific need for a highly customized and flexible work environment.

“为了满足这些小组的需要，我们的团队最大限度地利用了战略实验室相邻区域和共享设备区，以形成合作研究倡议之间的协同效应，”管理首席执行官Jeffrey Welter，助理AIA，LEED AP，PMP说。“我们设计了一个研究中心，以吸引和留住最优秀的科学人才。我感到自豪的是，我有机会与一个无疑将在医学和研究领域取得重大发现和巨大进步的研究所合作。“

“In order to meet the needs of these groups, our team maximized strategic laboratory adjacencies and shared equipment zones to form synergies between cooperative research initiatives,” said Managing Principal Jeffrey Welter, Associate AIA, LEED AP, PMP. “We designed the research center to attract and retain the finest scientific talent. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with an institute that will undoubtedly make impactful discoveries and great strides in the fields of medicine and research.”

目前正在进行的神经科学项目包括位于华盛顿州西雅图的艾伦脑科学研究所总部大楼和位于俄亥俄州代顿的莱特州立大学神经科学工程合作大楼。该公司以前的项目包括德克萨斯州儿童医院的Jan和Dan Duncan神经研究所(位于得克萨斯州休斯顿)；位于亚利桑那州凤凰城的圣约瑟夫医院和医学中心；位于华盛顿特区的神经科学学会总部；以及位于佛罗里达州奥兰多诺纳湖的Sanford Burnham医学研究所。

Perkins+Will neuroscience projects currently underway include the Allen Institute for Brain Science Headquarters Building in Seattle, Washington and Wright State University’s Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building in Dayton, Ohio. Previous projects by the firm include Texas Children’s Hospital’s Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute in Houston, Texas; St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona; the Society for Neuroscience Headquarters in Washington, DC; and the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute at Lake Nona in Orlando, FL.
