架构师提供的文本描述。目的

Text description provided by the architects. Purpose

在历史的零敲碎打的发展背景下，人们认识到需要解决整个校园问题。2007年制定了一项总体计划，从而实现了这一目标。这一概念最初是作为一个独立的学生中心，后来发展到更从根本和更明显地将现有校园连接起来，从而提供了一套最优质的内部和外部空间，符合大学的学术地位。

In the context of historic piecemeal development, the need to address the campus as a whole was recognised. This was then enabled by the production of a masterplan in 2007. Originating as a standalone student centre, the concept was developed to more fundamentally and visibly connect the existing campus, and in doing so provide a suite of internal and external spaces of the highest quality, as befits the University’s academic status.

 Floor Plan

设计方法与这一雄心和环境性能密切相关。环境工程师和架构师从一开始就进行密切协调，在虚拟环境中开发和测试设计迭代。结构、服务和体系结构元素的集成给设计团队带来了类似的紧密协作。

The design approach was closely allied to this ambition, and one of environmental performance. Close coordination between environmental engineer and architect was undertaken from the outset to develop and test iterations of the design in a virtual environment. The integration of structure, services and architectural elements brought similarly close, collaborative working amongst the design team.

施工方法

 Construction method

这座建筑主要是现场混凝土和预制混凝土的混合结构。结构材料，特别是混凝土，是建筑物外观和环境性能的组成部分。这些是放置在一起，并与其他，主要是自我完成的材料形成对比。

The building is principally of a hybrid insitu and precast concrete construction. Structural materials, in particular concrete, are integral to the appearance and environmental performance of the building. These are placed alongside and in contrast with other, largely self-finished materials.

裸露混凝土提供热质量，它与自然通风同时调节加热和冷却负荷。混凝土的健壮性是适当的，它的使用允许分区是可拆解的，提供了灵活性，以适应变化的教学模式。在可以从重复中获益的地方，主要使用预制元件。原位单元包括几何和结构上更复杂的部件。

The exposed concrete provides thermal mass, which tempers heating and cooling loads in parallel with natural ventilation. Concrete’s robustness is appropriate, and its use allows partitions to be demountable, providing a flexibility of accommodation in anticipation of changing teaching patterns. Precast elements are largely used where benefit can be gained from repetition. In situ elements include geometrically and structurally more complex components.

 Procurement

 Procurement

该项目进行了两阶段招标，采用“迷你包”程序，从2名最后承包商中选出最后一名承包商。在一个公开的书籍论坛上审查了招标包，以提高透明度和最佳价值。由两阶段投标促成的早期承包商参与有助于熟悉一个大型和复杂的建筑项目、建筑方法的发展和定制的立面系统。该项目是根据一项Nec3传统合同进行的。

The project was subject of a two stage tender, with a ‘mini package’ process to select the final contractor from a shortlist of 2. Tender packages were reviewed in an open book forum for transparency and best value. Early contractor involvement enabled by the two-stage tender facilitated familiarisation with a large and complex construction project, development of construction methodologies and the bespoke facade systems. The project was undertaken under an NEC3 traditional contract.

 Design

 Design & construction quality, management

对建筑质量的追求源于简略。进行了严格的审查，包括由东南区域设计小组作为规划进程的一部分进行审查。职能质量也得到了同样的处理，协商和简报过程包括与联合国大学环境小组举行会议。由专家顾问组成的设计小组之间的密切协调解决了这些野心。

Ambition for architectural quality derived from the brief. Rigorous review was undertaken, including by the South East Regional Design Panel as part of the Planning process. Functional quality was addressed similarly, a consultation and briefing process included meeting with the University's Environmental Group. Close coordination among a design team incorporating specialist consultants addressed these ambitions.

在适当的情况下使用了非现场制造。统一的立面系统允许尺寸精度、环境性能和施工速度。

Off-site manufacturing was used where appropriate. A unitised facade system allowed dimensional accuracy, environmental performance, and speed of construction.

全尺寸模拟混凝土框架和正面元素允许质量评估和改进之前，制造。一个全职的现场顾问团队，主要承包商和专业分包商密切合作，开发和协调分包商的设计。结合Nec3合同，该组织允许及时查明和解决问题。

Full size mock-ups of concrete frame and facade elements allowed quality to be assessed and improved prior to fabrication. A full time on-site consultant team, the main contractor and specialist subcontractors worked closely to develop and coordinate subcontractor design. In conjunction with the NEC3 contract this organisation allowed timely identification and resolution of issues.

价值、响应

 Value, Response

这个项目的规模是大学以前没有进行过的。因此，它必须经过严格的成本控制。最终价值可能来自于一步实现如此大规模的干预。因此，对学生、教职员和公众的经验的好处大于单独的小型建筑物。

The project is of a scale not previously undertaken by the University. As such, it was subject to a process of tight cost control. Ultimate value perhaps derives from the realisation of an intervention on such a scale, in one step. As such, benefit to the experience of students, staff and public alike is greater than separate smaller buildings.

自其新的阿伯克龙比大楼于2012年启用以来，建筑学院的课程申请人数显著增加，这是该项目成功的标志之一。自2014年3月约翰·亨利·布鲁克斯大楼启用以来，有迹象表明，从一开始就有一群学生在他们的新大楼里呆着，而大学的工作人员则以极大的热情作出了回应。

Since the opening of its new Abercrombie building in 2012, the School of Architecture has enjoyed an appreciable rise in applications to its courses, one indicator of the project’s success. Indications since the opening of the John Henry Brookes Building in March 2014 are of a student body at home in their new building from the outset, and of University staff responding with great enthusiasm.
