架构师提供的文本描述。新的音乐与艺术中心位于校园内一个类似公园的受欢迎的区域，其设计经过深思熟虑，以反映该中心内的节目。由音乐和艺术项目共享，MAC为艺术和国家艺术、声学设计的彩排和音乐表演空间提供了急需的工作室空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in a popular park-like area of the campus, the new Music and Arts Center was thoughtfully designed to reflect the programs housed within.  Shared by the Music and Art programs, the MAC provides much-needed studio space for Art and state-of-the-art, acoustically-designed rehearsal and performance space for Music.

这座建筑的内部要求多种多样，具体是为了加强每个部门的教育任务。MAC分为两个不同的两翼-南方的音乐和北部的艺术-一个共享的学生画廊/大堂区域，提供一个重要的过渡性的“指节”，连接两翼，成为大楼的核心。

The building’s interior requirements are diverse and specific to enhancing the education missions of each department.  The MAC is organized into two distinct wings – Music to the south and Art to the north – with a shared student gallery/lobby area that provides an important, transitional “knuckle” connecting both wings and becoming the heart of the building.

音乐节目包括150个座位的独奏厅、排练场地、录音室、教室、练习和支持区。美术项目包括绘画、陶瓷、雕塑和二维设计/印刷工作室、平面设计工作室、教室、展览和支持区。“指节”连接了机翼，为建筑提供了层次结构元素。一堵宽阔的玻璃墙，毗邻一座有盖的艺术露台，为北方的历史井屋提供了景观。

The music program includes a 150-seat recital hall, rehearsal space, recording studios, classrooms, practice and support areas.  The fine arts program includes painting, ceramics, sculpture and 2-D design/print-making studios, graphic design studios, classrooms, exhibit and support areas.  With a sculptural glass and steel entry, the “knuckle” connects the wings and provides an element of hierarchy for the building.  An expansive glass wall adjacent to a covered art patio provides views to the historic Well’s House to the north.

 Floor Plan

艺术翼需要自然光，利用大的双高窗户将北极光带入工作室。适当的窗户放置为工作室提供了非常需要的自然白天照明，同时将夏季的冷却负荷降到最低。两个艺术工作室通过使用高架车库门提供多功能，允许季节性扩展和进入户外，同时捕捉到北部的校园景观。音乐翼独奏厅以声学形状的“鳃”为特色，在西面墙上反射彩色光。该建筑致力于雕塑和艺术对象本身与简单的砖块平面，金属面板，和热轧钢壁板在学生画廊的体积，将补丁随着时间的推移，增加更多的色调价值和纹理的这一组成元素。

Needing natural light in the art wing, north light is brought into the studios by utilizing large double-height windows. The appropriate placement of windows provides much-needed natural day-lighting for the studios while minimizing summer cooling loads. Versatility is provided in two art studios through the use of overhead garage doors, allowing seasonal expansion and access to the outdoors, while capturing views of the campus to the north. The music wing recital hall features acoustically shaped “gills,” reflecting colored light at the west wall. The building strives to be sculptural and an object of art itself with simple brick planes, metal panels, and hot-rolled steel siding at the student gallery volume that will patina over time, adding more tonal value and texture to this compositional element.

最大的设计挑战是将艺术和音乐之翼分离开来(因为有着独特的程序需求和多样的系统要求)，同时又保留了珍贵的设计环境。这座建筑在珍贵的标本树和尽可能少的树木之间进行了战略布局，并非常小心地移除了尽可能少的树木。每移走一棵树，就种植了三棵树。总的来说，景观的目的是融合和补充这类公园的校园地区，同时利用当地的草和耐旱植物在特定的地区，以尽量减少灌溉。

The greatest design challenge was separating the art and music wings (because of unique program needs and diverse system requirements), while preserving the prized setting.  The building was strategically sited between valued specimen trees and great care was taken to remove as few trees as possible.  For every tree that was removed, three were planted.  Overall, the landscape is intended to blend and complement this park-like area of campus while utilizing native grasses and drought tolerant plants in specific areas to minimize irrigation.

可持续设计计划被有意纳入设计，尽管LEED认证并不是业主的高度优先事项。作为设计师哲学的固有部分，可持续设计的问题处于最前沿，并导致了一座节能建筑，目前正在寻求LEED银/金认证。

Sustainable design initiatives were intentionally incorporated into the design even though LEED Certification was not a high-priority for the owner.  As an inherent part of the designer’s philosophy, the issues of sustainable design were at the forefront and resulted in an energy-efficient building currently seeking LEED Silver/Gold Certification.
