架构师提供的文本描述。创新和创业中心为专门从事农业研究的初创企业提供了孵化器空间，以及相关学术领域的学术教学和研究设施。这些项目包括一个共同的协作空间，共享设备实验室，可用于非正式会议，以及私营部门孵化器租户和学术研究人员之间的合作。

Text description provided by the architects. The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship houses an incubator space for start-ups specializing in agricultural research as well as an academic teaching and research facility for related academic fields. These programs are joined by a common collaboration space with shared equipment labs that can be used for informal meeting, and teaming between the private sector incubator tenants and the academic researchers.

设计语法将来自该地区的农业影响和内部的科学过程结合在一起。这种机器状的金属皮被木包层的刺穿透，将日光和进气输送到室内空间。机械装置被安置在脊柱的外部梅扎内线上。这一部分强调了日光和新鲜空气对实验室工作的重要性，并建立了自然系统与环境控制的室内实验室系统之间的联系。

The design syntax marries agricultural influences from the region and the scientific processes within. The machine-like metallic skin is penetrated by wood-clad spines that transfer daylight and intake air into the interior spaces. Mechanical units are housed on the spine’s exterior mezzanines. This parti emphasizes the importance of daylight and fresh air for laboratory work and establishes a connection between natural systems and the environmentally-controlled interior lab systems.

该建筑旨在支持学术项目和私营部门研究公司之间的合作研究和开发。共享仪器间，配备高端分子研究设备和洁净室，支持两个实体以及外部学术和私营部门合作伙伴。双方的研究环境都以共享的工作空间为特色，拥有充足的日光和视野-旨在加强跨学科的努力。

The building is designed to support collaborative research and development between the academic programs and the private sector research companies. Shared Instrument Rooms, equipped with high-end molecular research equipment and clean room, support both entities as well as outside academic and private sector partners. Research environments on both sides feature shared work spaces with generous daylight and views - designed to enhance interdisciplinary efforts.

这座建筑坐落在校园的边缘，植根于自然风化的土壤中：混凝土、波纹金属墙板和木材。它是景观的一部分，它的模块化结构为未来的扩张做好了准备。

The building sits on the edge of the campus amidst research crops, and roots itself in the earth with naturally weathering materials: concrete, corrugated metal siding, and wood. It is a part of the landscape, and with its modular construction it is prepared to grow for future expansion.

可持续的举措包括深度白天照明，由轻型货架和建筑方向加强，以减少能源负荷。开放的办公环境增强了对光线和视图的访问、通风效果和建筑经济。雨水通过生物水路过滤，并返回到地下水位。采用高效暖通空调系统的高性能热包膜与高反照率、屋面和壁板以及西面曝光量的高反照率一样，显着地降低了能源消耗。

Sustainable initiatives include deep day lighting, enhanced by light shelves and building orientation to reduce energy loads. Open office environments enhance access to light and views, ventilation effectiveness, and construction economy. Storm water is filtered through bioswales and returned to the water table. The high performance thermal envelope with high efficiency HVAC systems significantly reduces energy consumption as does the high albedo roofing and siding and screening at the western exposure.
