架构师提供的文本描述。明尼苏达州亚历山大市被列为明尼苏达州发展最快的微政治城市之一。这座城市经常被称为“硅谷包装”，因为它是许多自动化包装机械制造厂的所在地。这座城市还环绕着十多个湖泊，这使它成为一个旅游和旅游胜地。当地的工业和城市设施在新高中的规划和设计中发挥了关键作用。

Text description provided by the architects. Alexandria, Minnesota is ranked as one of the fastest growing micropolitan cities in Minnesota. The city is often referred to as the “Silicon Valley of Packaging,” as it is home to a number of automated packaging machinery manufacturing plants. The city is also surrounded by over 10 lakes, which makes it a tourist and resort attraction. The local industries and City amenities played a key factor in the programming and design of the new high school.

在全民投票前的过程中，超过100名社会人士，包括学生、家长、教师、商业伙伴及地区领袖，获邀参加为期多天的设计租船工作坊。

During the pre-referendum process, over 100 members of the community, including students, parents, teachers, business partners and district leadership, were invited to participate in a multi-day design charrette workshop.

这一包容各方的社区进程有助于确定优先事项，使资源与这些优先事项相一致，并促进高效率的决策，从而形成了学校的共同愿景，成为整个设计过程的指南。

This inclusive community process helped establish priorities, align resources with those priorities and facilitate efficient decision making, resulting in a shared vision for a school that became a guide for the entire design process.

与会者将该项目设想为“一个富有吸引力和可持续性的社区，它反映了该地区丰富的传统，提供了一个灵活的数字学习环境，并充当了一个区域中心，为所有年龄的人提供学术、艺术和活动。”

The participants envisioned the project as “an inviting and sustainable community that mirrors the District’s rich tradition, provides a flexible digital learning environment and serves as a regional center for academics, the arts and activities for all ages.”

让社区的所有成员在这一过程的早期得到倾听有助于在整个项目期间建立对新设施的信任和支持。

Allowing all members of the community to be heard early in the process helped to build trust and support for the new facility throughout the life of the project.

学校的几乎每一个部分都被更大的社区所激活：商业伙伴直接参与未来劳动力的教育，当地居民喜欢参加社区教育课程，参加活动和表演。去年春天，随着建设接近尾声，校长被来自社区的电话淹没，询问他们如何参与其中，下面的项目就是这些电话的结果。

Nearly every part of the school is activated by the greater community: business partners get directly involved in educating the future workforce and local residents enjoy participating in community education courses and attending events and performances. Last spring, as construction neared completion, the Principal was inundated with calls from the community asking how they could get involved and the following programs are a result of those calls.

开放式的、灵活的建筑设计与适应性家具相结合，为不同风格的学习和教学提供了最佳的学习环境。传统的大小的学习空间被可以适应小型或大型群体设置的区域所包围。整个大楼都有正式和非正式学习的机会，利用可以重新配置的透明墙系统，可以重新配置学习空间，以适应未来的需要。

The open, flexible design of the building combined with adaptable furniture provides optimal learning environments for different styles of learning and teaching. Traditional sized learning spaces are surrounded by areas that can be adapted for small or large group settings. There are opportunities for both formal and informal learning throughout the building, and, using a transparent wall system that can be reconfigured, learning spaces can be reconfigured to accommodate future needs.

此外，动手实验室和学习空间(烹饪艺术、STEM、艺术、设计/建造、视频制作、科学)为职业和大学准备提供了机会，当地的接待和制造企业为学生提供时间和资源。

In addition, hands-on labs and learning spaces (culinary arts, STEM, art, design/build, video production, science) provide opportunities for career and college readiness with local hospitality and manufacturing businesses offering time and resources for students.
