架构师提供的文本描述。经过60年的学生游说，得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的学生活动中心从根本上说是一个为学生团体而建的地方。SAC对传统的校园模式提出了挑战，即建筑具有单一的专用功能。

Text description provided by the architects. A result of sixty years of student lobbying, the Student Activity Center at the University of Texas at Austin is fundamentally a place built for and by the student body. The SAC challenges the traditional campus paradigm of a building performing a single dedicated function.

SAC是一个非常多样化的项目，它是一个学生联盟，它的功能就像一个微型校园，有一个5，000个座位的宴会厅、一个500个座位的礼堂、一个黑匣子剧场、12个学生会议室/会议室、学生组织办公室、一个学生政府会议厅、餐厅、舞厅和剧院排练空间，以及灵活的会议空间。

With an incredibly diverse program, the SAC is a student union that functions like a micro-campus and features a 5,000-SF ballroom, a 500-seat auditorium, a black box theater, 12 student conference/meeting rooms, student organization offices, a student government chamber, dining areas, dance and theater rehearsal spaces, and  flexible  meeting spaces.

在规划过程中，需要额外的专用文科空间；因此，文科学院的研究实验室和办公空间的两层楼被纳入整体设计，并通过一座架空桥与毗邻的文科大楼连接。

The need for additional dedicated Liberal Arts space emerged during the planning process; thus two additional floors of research labs and office spaces for the College of Liberal Arts were incorporated into the overall design and are connected to the adjacent Liberal Arts Building via a sky bridge.

针对校园内缺乏中等规模的户外空间，该项目整合了46，000 SF的景观庭院，安装了电源插座和无线互联网，在得克萨斯州中部温和的气候条件下，几乎一年四季都为就餐、学习和户外聚会创造场所。色彩内，一个“天空空间”由世界著名的艺术家詹姆斯特雷尔，是位于屋顶露台，并为学生提供一个空间安静的反映一整天。

Addressing the lack of middle-scale outdoor spaces on campus, the project integrates over 46,000 SF of landscaped courtyards fitted with electrical outlets and wireless internet, creating places for dining, studying, and gathering outdoors nearly year round in the moderate Central Texas climate. The Color Inside, a “Skyspace” by world-renowned artist James Turrell, is located on the rooftop terrace and provides students a space for quiet reflection throughout the day.

整合低科技、高影响力的解决方案，SAC是对永恒建筑传统的新诠释，也是对传统校园建筑的当代重新诠释。简单的形式和干净的线条使它与众不同，而石灰石墙和红瓦屋顶却将它与现有的校园建筑和总体规划结合起来。在一片成熟的橡树林后面，这座建筑具有丰富的玻璃结构，加上其狭窄的脚印，最大限度地利用了采光，并提供了与周围景观的视觉联系。

Integrating low-tech, high-impact solutions, the SAC is a new interpretation of timeless building traditions and a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional campus architecture. The simple forms and clean lines distinguish it, yet the limestone walls and red tile roof unite it with the existing campus buildings and master plan. Tucked behind a mature oak grove, the building features abundant glazing that, along with its narrow footprint, maximizes daylighting and provides a visual connection to the surrounding landscape.

这座建筑在对立面有开口，利用自然通风。高级蓄水池收集雨水进行景观灌溉，并在整个场地分配水，使任何雨事件都成为“庆祝活动”。该项目还最大限度地利用室外空间，通过排气缓解空气，为阳台和露台提供条件，提高用户在最热和最寒冷的月份的舒适性。这些综合战略导致了LEED黄金认证。然而，SAC最可持续的方面是每天有15，000名学生使用，并将UT-奥斯汀东部购物中心的一部分改造成“校园客厅”。

The building incorporates openings along opposite facades to harness natural ventilation. Above-grade cisterns collect rainwater for landscape irrigation and distribute water throughout the site to make any rain event a “celebration.” The project also maximizes the use of outdoor space by exhausting relief air to condition balconies and terraces, improving user comfort during the hottest and coldest months. The combined strategies led to LEED Gold certification. However, SAC’s most sustainable aspect is that is used by 15,000 students daily and has transformed a portion of UT-Austin’s East Mall into the “campus living-room.”
