架构师提供的文本描述。耗资9000万美元的墨尔本处理中心为澳大利亚红十字会的维多利亚和塔斯马尼亚分会提供了一个新的先进总部。该设施位于20世纪20年代现有仓库的外壳内，最初是作为莫里斯在西墨尔本的一家小型组装工厂建造的。现有的砖混仓库大楼的建筑高度从一层到四层不等，需要进行大量工作，使其达到目前的标准，并根据企业在紧急情况下运作所需的要求，增加4级重要等级的叠加。在研究实验室、仓储、办公室/行政和工作人员设施的支持下，共有17 500平方米的住房，包括血液处理和分发区、血液测试。

Text description provided by the architects. The $90M Melbourne Processing Centre provides the Victorian and Tasmanian chapter of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service with a new state of the art headquarters. The facility is housed within the shell of an existing 1920s warehouse, originally constructed as a Morris Minor assembly factory in West Melbourne. The existing brick warehouse building with varying building heights from one to four stories, required significant work to bring it up to current standards, with the additional overlay of an Importance Level 4* rating as required by the business to operate in the event of an emergency. There is 17,500m2 of accommodation comprised of blood processing and distribution areas, blood testing, with the support of research laboratories, warehousing, office/administration and staff amenities.

振兴和加强墨尔本的一个旧仓库的前景被认为是一个很好的组织，它与建筑有很大的相似之处。两者都沉浸在墨尔本的历史中，在城市的结构中具有重要的地位。他们都被剥离回到了他们的基本面，并重新创造了一个新的外观。这种利用不足的仓库的适应性再利用和恢复性办法被视为可持续设计的精髓，最终导致在投标阶段选择项目。

The prospect of rejuvenating and enhancing one of Melbourne’s old stock warehouses was seen as a good fit for the organisation which shared strong parallels with the building. Both are immersed in Melbourne’s history and of great importance in the fabric of the city. They were both stripped back to their fundamentals and reinvented with a fresh appearance. This adaptive reuse and restorative approach of an underutilised warehouse was seen as the essence of sustainable design, which ultimately led to its selection for the project during the bid phase.

现有的地块包括两个相邻的建筑物，分布在一个城市街区的四分之三。它们被建造到工地边界，内部通道后来被封闭。最初的倡议是重建中央通道，作为建筑的一个自省中心，它将容纳所有的动脉循环，无论是垂直的还是水平的。这也将房子的“肺”与内部美化庭院，同时通过重新引入自然光到60米深的场地，以改善舒适。

The existing site encompasses two adjacent buildings spread over three quarters of a city block. They were built up to the site boundary, with an internal laneway that was later enclosed. The primary initiative was to re-establish the central laneway as an introspective focal point of the building that would house all of the arterial circulation both vertical and horizontal. This would also house the “lungs” of the building with internal landscaped courtyards, whilst improving the amenity by reintroducing natural light to the 60m deep site.

这座建筑从本质上看，有一种陈旧的工业感觉，它被“所有的腐朽”所包含，并被当代干预的清晰线条所强化，这是一种庆祝建筑历史的和谐，同时也丰富了它的新功能。从一开始，哲学就是维护现有的结构，在不可行的情况下，回收材料并以振兴的方式重新采用。这一点最明显的是对现有屋顶木料的再利用(由于结构原因不得不更换)。它们被重新用于办公室的“吊舱”、升降机轴的包覆，以及在开放式办公室上方制造新的木材桁架。

The building by its very nature had a timeworn industrial feel which was embraced “warts’ n’ all” and enhanced by the crisp lines of the contemporary interventions, a harmony that celebrates the history of the building, whilst enriching its new functions. From the outset the philosophy was to preserve the existing fabric and where this was not feasible, reclaim the material and reintroduce it in a revitalized manner. This is most evident in the reuse of the existing roof timbers (that for structural reasons had to be replaced). They were reused for cladding of the office “pods”, the lift shafts and also in the fabrication of new timber trusses above the open plan office

在整个项目中，透明度是显而易见的，可以看到空洞和强烈的视野，使工作人员和访问者能够向下和跨越实验室和突破区域。这提高了交互性，展示了简化的血液管理流程和大楼的核心功能，每年拯救1000名澳大利亚人的生命。

Transparency is apparent throughout the project, with viewing voids and strong vistas enabling staff and visitors to look down and across to the laboratory and breakout areas. This improves interactivity and showcases the streamlined process of blood management and the building’s core function that saves 1000’s of Australian lives every year

室内空气质量是该项目多方面的重要组成部分。实验室有严格的控制和温湿度范围。虽然办公区域不那么严格，但健康和福祉是一个主要考虑因素。这座建筑物使我们能够利用现有砖墙的巨大热质量，从而提高能源效率，并有助于温度的稳定。我们力求通过认真的材料选择和处理、在开放式环境中包括置换空气和内部种植，为用户增加积极的价值。

Indoor air quality was a vital component of the project in multiple facets. The laboratories have stringent controls and temperature and humidity ranges. Whilst the office areas were less rigorous, health and wellbeing was a major consideration. The building afforded us was the ability to utilise the significant thermal mass of the existing brick walls, which increased the energy efficiency and also assisted with the temperature stability.  We sought to add positive value to users’ by virtue of conscientious material selection and treatment, the inclusion of displacement air delivery in the open plan environment and the inclusion of internal planting.

经过四年的设计和建设，这个新设施的设计是为了满足未来30年对血液产品的日益增长的需求，并取代了一个现有的以南岸为基地的、不再适合使用的场所。为确保在发生严重自然灾害时持续提供血液，该设施设计为4天岛屿模式，没有外部天然气、水、电或下水道连接。它的设计能够承受里氏7级的地震，这需要近1000吨钢的内部骨架。

Four years in design and construction, the new facility is designed to cater for an increased demand for blood products over the next three decades and replaces an existing Southbank based site that was no longer fit for purpose. To ensure consistent blood supply in the event of a severe natural disaster, the facility was designed to operate in 4 day island mode without the availability of external gas, water, electricity or sewerage connections. It is designed to be able to withstand an earthquake measuring up to seven on the Richter scale, which required an internal skeleton of almost 1000 tonnes of steel.

可持续的功能包括：50，000升雨水集水槽，全年为350名工作人员提供厕所冲洗；太阳能热水；高效水配件；GECA家具选择。

Sustainable features include: 50,000L rainwater harvesting tank which provides toilet flushing for 350 staff year round; Solar hot water; Water efficient fittings; and GECA furniture selections.
