架构师提供的文本描述。随着南加州不断增加的用水挑战,奥克斯纳德市通过努力减少通过“伟大计划”为其居民、企业和农民服务的进口水,使自己与其他市政当局区别开来。伟大的计划,或地下水回收和处理方案,使用再生水在城市范围内发现,减少对其他,更强调水源的影响。
Text description provided by the architects. With the ever-increasing challenges of water use in Southern California the City of Oxnard has set itself apart from other municipalities through its efforts to reduce imported water used to service their residents, businesses, and farmers by way of the GREAT Program. The GREAT Program, or Groundwater Recovery Enhancement and Treatment Program, uses reclaimed water found within the city limits reducing the impact on other, more stressed water sources.

在自然资源日益减少的情况下,社区的参与至关重要,保护社区的所有权是通过对公众的教育来实现的。作为伟大计划的一部分,高级水净化设施(AWPF)不仅为废水的最终再利用创造了条件,而且为水处理教育和水资源管理提供了一个场所。
Engagement of the community is a critical when faced with diminishing natural resources, and ownership in its preservation comes through education of the public. As part of the GREAT Program, the Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) not only conditions wastewater for eventual reuse, but provides a place for water treatment education and water resource management to occur.
AWPF由五个独立的以流程为导向的设施组成,每天将向该市提供2500万加仑的再生水。作为科学中心的独立的教育/行政大楼是公众对AWPF的第一印象,也是参观过程设施的开始。科学中心是公众和治疗过程之间的物理过渡点,传达了形态和物质,使工业用途人性化,是伟大计划负责任地利用自然资源的意图的代表。通过使用桥梁将游客送到围绕科学中心的示范湿地,这一转变得到了进一步的强调。
The AWPF is comprised of five separate process-oriented facilities which will provide 25 million gallons a day (MGD) of reclaimed water to the City. A free standing education/administration building serving as a Science Center is the public’s first impression of the AWPF and serves as the beginning for tours of the process facility. The Science Center is the physical point of transition between the public and the treatment process, informing the shape and materiality, humanizing the industrial uses and is representative of the GREAT Program’s intention to use natural resources responsibly. This transition is further emphasized through the use of bridges which deliver visitors over demonstration wetlands that surround the Science Center.

该再生水被用于示范湿地,以研究处理后的水对类似天然湿地的影响,如项目场地以东的奥蒙德海滩湿地。水的其他预定用途包括灌溉可食用粮食作物、城市公园和高尔夫球场。地下水将通过向地下水盆地注入再生水来保护,以防止海水入侵。该项目内的可持续因素包括使用光伏板作为可再生能源、自动被动冷却作为高性能环境系统的一部分、充足的自然日光(包括被动和主动采光控制)、减少用水和本地植物材料。
The reclaimed water is used in the demonstration wetlands to study the effects of treated water on similar natural wetlands like the Ormond Beach wetlands east of the project site. Other intended uses of the water include irrigation of edible food crops, city parks, and golf courses. Groundwater will be protected through the injection of reclaimed water into the groundwater basin to inhibit seawater intrusion. Sustainable elements within the project include the use of photovoltaic panels as a renewable energy source, automated passive cooling as part of the high performance environmental systems, abundant natural daylight including passive and active daylighting controls, reduced water usage, and native plant materials.
