架构师提供的文本描述。芝加哥大学实验室学校由教育改革家约翰·杜威于1896年创立，至今仍是美国优秀教育的领导者。随着学校校园和人口的不断增长，重新评估校园的功能、规划和能力，为未来的学生提供了新的机会。

Text description provided by the architects. Founded in 1896 by educational reformer John Dewey, the Laboratory Schools at the University of Chicago continues to be a leader of education excellence in the country. As the school’s campus and population grew over the years, it became time again to re-evaluate the function, program and capacity of the campus for future students.

利用VDTA的基于研究的设计理念，实验室学校的设计过程包含了浸入式设计、教员和其他主要教育工作者的访谈、最佳实践调查、文学评论，最后都与关键利益相关者进行了一次展望会议。

Utilizing VDTA’s philosophy of research-based design, the design process for the Laboratory Schools incorporated immersions, interviews with faculty and other leading educators, best practice survey, literary reviews all concluding with a visioning session with key stakeholders.

实验室学校扩建和翻新项目的第一阶段，厄尔·夏皮罗大厅，最近开始上课。这座建筑位于石岛大道校园的其他地方，与芝加哥的杰克逊公园和科学与工业博物馆相望。这座建筑拥有独立学校建筑的大部分规划要素。

The first phase of the Laboratory Schools expansion and renovation project, Earl Shapiro Hall, recently opened for classes. Located on an independent site from the rest of the campus on Stony Island Avenue, across from Chicago’s Jackson Park and the Museum of Science and Industry the building has most of the programmatic elements of a freestanding school building.

除了教室、艺术和音乐室、图书馆和体育馆外，该大楼还设有全套行政办公室、咨询办公室和学习实验室。这座建筑的创新之处之一是将室外庭院和教室附近的学习实验室结合起来。

In addition to classrooms, art and music rooms, library and gymnasium, the building also has full administrative offices, counseling offices, and learning labs. Among the building’s innovations is the incorporation of outdoor courtyards and learning labs adjacent to the classrooms.

教室本身的设计是为了灵活，并鼓励雷吉奥·埃米莉亚(Reggio Emilia)对学龄前的教学理念，这是一种20世纪的教育哲学，源自杜威(Dewey)最初的原则，将孩子置于一个更大的学习群体中。

The classrooms themselves are designed to be flexible and to encourage the teaching philosophies of the Reggio Emilia approach to preschool, a 20th century education philosophy that grew from Dewey’s original principles placing the child within a larger learning community.
