架构师提供的文本描述。在奥姆斯特德中心，纽约公园部基本建设项目部的所在地

Text description provided by the architects. At Olmsted Center, home of the Capital Projects Division of the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, Phase I of an exciting two-part renovation and expansion is now complete.  Designed by New York-based BKSK Architects, the 60,000 square foot project responds to growing flooding concerns while also commemorating the site’s civic legacy and 50th anniversary.

 Floor Plan

奥姆斯特德中心位于皇后区法拉盛草地电晕公园，最初是1964年/65年世界博览会的行政大楼，后来被改建为公园部办公室。目前的翻新和扩建保留了遗址的遗产，作为公共娱乐、教育和整体享受的管家基地，同时也为今天的公园部门提供了更多的空间。值得注意的是，该地点比联邦应急管理局规定的100年洪泛区低4英尺，在飓风桑迪期间造成了该地区的淹没，并促进了项目组对复原力的有力处理。当第二阶段完成后，一个水特征网络将进一步推进该项目广泛的防洪战略，同时也传达水的美丽和力量。主要特征包括湿地保留区和凸起的水道系统。部分由于这些水管理方法，该项目已进入LEED黄金认证的轨道。

Located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, Olmsted Center originally served as the Administration Building for the 1964/65 World’s Fair before being converted into Parks Department offices. The current renovation and expansion preserves the site’s legacy as a home base for stewards of public recreation, education, and overall enjoyment, while also providing today’s Parks Department with additional space. Notably, the location is four feet below the FEMA-defined 100-year floodplain, resulting in the site’s submersion during Hurricane Sandy and catalyzing the project team’s robust approach to resiliency. When Phase II is complete, a network of water features will further the project’s extensive flood control strategies, while also conveying the beauty and power of water. Key features will include wetland retention areas and a raised water channel system. Partially due to these water management approaches, the project is on track for LEED Gold certification.

虽然工作人员在整个第一阶段施工期间一直在现场，以确保业务连续性，但他们于2014年8月搬入完成的10 000平方英尺增建。内外建筑都由BKSK建筑师设计，提供了一个统一的表达方式，丰富的日光和公园景观，以及独特的暴露钢，尊重原结构的设计。新增办公室、公共采购/投标室和会议室。第二阶段将侧重于原始结构的外部修复、洪水管理战略的继续以及更多的景观改善。

While staff members have been on site throughout Phase I construction, ensuring business continuity, they moved into their completed 10,000 square foot addition in August 2014. The exterior and interior architecture, both designed by BKSK Architects, provide a unified expression that features abundant daylight and park views as well as distinctive exposed steel, honoring the original structure’s design. The addition houses new offices, a public procurement/bidding room, and meeting rooms. Phase II will focus on the exterior restoration of the original structure, the continuation of flood management strategies, and additional landscape improvements.
