架构师提供的文本描述。新公共设施是一项15，500秒的翻新，创造了一个充满活力的门户，连接了校园和图书馆，同时强调了它作为大学24/7的心脏的重要性。它提供了一系列灵活互联的学习/生活环境-单用户桌子、集体工作站、深躺椅、带宴会的展位、带有凳子的高级柜台、柔软的沙发模块-遍布各种休息室、学习区域、“智能”教室和研讨会空间、咖啡馆，以及社交和表演场所。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Commons is a 15,500sf renovation that creates a vibrant gateway, connecting campus and Library while emphasizing its importance as the University's 24/7 heart. It provides an array of flexibly interconnected learning/living environments---single-user tables, group workstations, deep lounge chairs, booths with banquettes, high counters with stools, soft sofa modules---spread through a variety of lounges, study areas, “smart” classrooms and seminar spaces, a cafe, and spaces for social interaction and performances.

所有这些都充斥着最新的数字技术，并以支持台和印刷中心为中心。从外面，学生进入两个棱镜之间的钢栅，明亮的灯光在夜间。从里面，入口是从图书馆的主大厅通过一个明亮的黄色入口，在一个铝包墙(印刷学生的轮廓组成的表意文字代表UIC的72个研究领域)。

 All are saturated with the latest digital technologies and centered around the support desk and a printing center. From outside, students enter between two prisms of steel grating, brightly lit at night.  From inside, entry is from the Library's main lobby through a brilliant yellow portal in an aluminum-clad wall (printed with students' silhouettes composed of ideograms representing UIC's 72 fields of study).

活动以低矮的体积展开(覆盖着白板和半透明的玻璃，由钢丝网窗帘隔开，周围环绕着16英尺高的幕墙，连接到室外美化的校园)。上图，新的照明，管道和铝板展示(和人性化)的勇敢的皮拉内西一样的混凝土结构的原始建筑的经典布鲁塔设计(沃尔特奈奇，SOM，1965年)。

Activities are contained in low-slung volumes (clad with whiteboard panels and translucently filmed glass, divided by curtains of steel mesh, and surrounded by the building's 16ft curtainwall to connect to the landscaped campus outdoors. Above, new lighting, ductwork and aluminum panels showcase (and humanize) the bravura Piranesi-like play of concrete structure of the original building's classic Brutalist design (Walter Netsch, SOM, 1965).
