竞争获胜的设计是福德汉姆林肯中心校园15年总体规划的第一阶段的核心。该项目由22层楼的建筑组成，幕墙由建筑预制板、金属和玻璃组成，由一系列起伏的弧形构成，向林肯中心做出引人入胜的姿态，同时为法学院提供一个独特的身份。后者位于较低的九层，上面有一座容纳430名大学生的住宅楼。

The competition-winning design is the centerpiece of the first phase of Fordham’s 15-year master plan for its Lincoln Center campus. The project consists of a 22-story building, clad in a curtain wall of architectural precast panels, metal, and glass, shaped with a series of undulating arcs to make an engaging gesture toward Lincoln Center while providing a distinctive identity for the Law School. The latter is housed in the lower nine stories, with a residential tower for 430 undergraduates rising above.

在哥伦布和阿姆斯特丹大道之间的第62街，这座新建筑就坐落在林肯中心的Damrosch公园的正对面。“新的法学院和住宅大厅占据了城市中最特殊的地点之一，”设计合作伙伴Yvonne Szeto说。“我们的目标是确保这座建筑不仅能提供最先进的教学环境，还能补充林肯中心雄伟的表演设施，塑造和美化这座城市的公共领域。”

Fronting on 62nd Street between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues, the new building sits directly opposite Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park. “The new Law School and Residence Hall occupies one of the most exceptional sites in the city,” said design partner Yvonne Szeto. “Our aim was to ensure that this building would not only provide a state-of the-art teaching and learning environment but would also complement the majestic performance facilities of Lincoln Center, shaping and animating the public realm of the city that is its home.”

这座468，000平方英尺的建筑使法学院目前的计划、活动和办公空间翻了一番还多.除了26间教室、讲堂、研讨会和会议室外，该建筑还有一个两层的中庭、一个模拟法庭和审判法庭设施，以及一个562，000卷的法律图书馆。宿舍将容纳本科生，包括五个综合学习中心套房、一个舞蹈工作室、娱乐室和一个可容纳130名学生的餐厅。

The 468,000-square-foot building more than doubles the Law School’s current program, event, and office space. In addition to 26 classrooms, lecture halls, and seminar and conference rooms, the structure features a two-story atrium, a moot and trial court facility, and a 562,000-volume law library. The Residence Hall, which will house undergraduates, includes five integrated learning center suites, a dance studio, entertainment rooms, and a dining hall accommodating 130 students.

回顾该项目的开始，Pei Cobb的创始合伙人Henry N.Cobb释放了

Recalling the project’s beginnings, Henry N. Cobb, founding partner of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, observed: “From the moment we first set foot on the site, we understood that the new Law School and Residence Hall must do more than provide suitable accommodation for the two important constituencies it houses. It must also fulfill a civic duty to two interrelated communities beyond its walls: the university community in which it is embedded, and its neighbors in the larger urban community that adjoins it.”

对于Fordham的林肯中心校园，该设施为罗伯特·摩西广场提供了一个新的北部边界，有三个不同的尺度：一层楼高的餐厅，通往广场中心的绿色；九层楼高的法学院，其柔和的曲面，其独特的棋盘图案，构成广场的框架；还有更高但更安静的住宅大厅，有一个细长的凸起的形状，从中央绿色转向广场向东延伸到哥伦布大道。

For Fordham’s Lincoln Center Campus, the facility provides a new northern boundary to Robert Moses Plaza with three distinct scales: a one-story dining pavilion opening onto the Plaza’s central green; the nine-story Law School, whose gently curved surface, with its distinctive checkerboard pattern, frames the Plaza; and the taller but quieter presence of the Residence Hall, with a slender convex form that turns away from the central green to address the Plaza’s eastward extension to Columbus Avenue.

这座建筑较长的62街面，俯瞰着Damrosch公园和林肯中心的中心，在其宽敞的城市环境中创造了一个活泼和多事的存在。在一层高的基地慷慨开放，活跃人行道，同时提供进入公共咖啡馆和视野进入其他空间内。法学院的棋盘图案的表面，上升在一个美化的露台之上，采取浅浅的S-曲线的形式，不时有一个悬浮的玻璃卷，而上面的住宅大厅的对角线方向确认了附近百老汇的互补对角线。

The longer 62nd Street face of the building, overlooking Damrosch Park and the heart of Lincoln Center beyond, creates a lively and eventful presence in its spacious urban setting. Generous openings in the one-story high base enliven the sidewalk while offering access to a public café and views into other spaces within. The checkerboard-patterned surface of the Law School, rising above a landscaped terrace, takes the form of a shallow S-curve punctuated by a hovering glazed volume, while the diagonal orientation of the Residence Hall above acknowledges the complementary diagonal alignment of nearby Broadway.

该建筑注册为LEED银认证，包括许多可持续的特点，包括广泛种植，减少用水，再生和区域材料，自然通风，以及一系列节能措施。

The building, which is registered for LEED Silver certification, incorporates many sustainable features, including extensive planting, reduced water use, recycled and regional materials, natural ventilation, and a range of energy-efficiency measures.
