架构师提供的文本描述。威林博物馆坐落在一个角落的空地上，与艺术史系隔着马路，与未来的剧院和艺术演播室相隔着一片优雅的草坪。这个由里德·希尔德布兰德联合设计的重建池塘周围的艺术建筑集合，将在汉密尔顿创建一个新的艺术四合院，并帮助发展校园两侧的视觉和行人联系，这是学院的既定目标。与教职员工密切合作，Machado和SilvettiAssociates开发了一种设计方案，通过展示学院独特藏品的两层玻璃档案馆，直接从校园小径和室外雕塑区吸引博物馆参观者。这座建筑的规划和集结遵循了一个清晰的三方关系图，入口大厅和档案馆的入口大厅和档案馆两侧分别是西边的画廊和东方的服务侧。为了展示博物馆的运作，存放和接收区域、档案室、行政办公室和研讨会室都可以通过装满物体的玻璃箱子看到。丰富的纹理，黑暗的陶土包覆的中心体积加强了它的关键作用，在程序和组成。

Text description provided by the architects. The Wellin Museum is prominently sited on a corner lot, across the road from the Art History department and across a gracious lawn from the future Theatre and Studio Arts Building. This collection of art buildings around a reconstructed pond, designed with Reed Hilderbrand Associates, will create a new arts quad at Hamilton and help develop visual and pedestrian connections between the two sides of campus, a stated goal of the College. Working closely with the faculty, Machado and Silvetti Associates developed a design, which brings museum visitors directly from campus paths and outdoor sculpture areas through a monumental two-story glass archive hall that showcases the College’s unique collection. The building’s plan and massing follows a clear tripartite diagram, with the “cabinet of curiosities” entry lobby and archives at the center flanked by a gallery wing to the West and a service wing to the East. To put the workings of the museum on display, holding and receiving areas, archive spaces, administrative offices and seminar rooms are all visible through the object-filled glass cases. The richly textured, dark terracotta cladding of the central volume reinforces its key role in the program and composition.

博物馆的西侧，穿着定制的起伏的重建石砌，有6200平方英尺的展览厅，可以重新配置，以支持学生策划的展览。这座建筑还包括一个48个座位的演讲厅，配有最先进的多媒体设备和一个休息室，以及支持博物馆雄心勃勃的教学任务的车间和后座空间。该项目旨在满足一个档案博物馆严格的温湿度要求。博物馆的取暖和冷却来自一个封闭的地温井，地温井被放置在雕塑平台下。使用了入住率传感器、高性能建筑外壳和其他节能系统，以实现学院的可持续发展目标。

The western wing of the museum, clad in custom-designed undulating reconstructed stone blocks, houses a 6,200 square foot exhibit gallery which can be reconfigured to support student-curated shows. The building also includes a 48-seat lecture hall with state of the art multimedia equipment and a lounge as well as workshops and back of house spaces to support the ambitious teaching mission of the museum. The project is designed to meet the stringent temperature and humidity requirements of an archival museum. The museum draws its heating and cooling from a closed loop geothermal well field that has been placed beneath the sculpture terrace. Occupancy sensors, a high performance building envelope and other energy efficient systems are used to meet the College’s sustainability goals.
