该建设项目包括两个主要组成部分：教学环境，包括一个讲堂和其他教室和实验室，以及一个行政/教员部分，其中包括教育和心理学部门的办公室。教员办公室将由一个部门招待会、教员休息室、会议室和仓库/工作室提供支助。院长套房将有一个独立的会议室、接待和支助空间。该设施还将包括一个课程资源中心和图书馆以及一个为学生提供会议和学习空间的中央大厅。视听系统将适应远程学习、视频会议和先进的教育方法。

The building program consists of two primary components: teaching environments including a lecture hall and other classrooms and labs, and an administrative/faculty component that includes offices for both the Education and Psychology Departments. The faculty offices will be supported by a departmental reception, faculty lounges, conference rooms and storage/work rooms. The Dean’s suite will have an independent conference room, reception and support spaces. The facility will also include a curriculum resource center and library and a central lobby with meeting and study spaces for students. Audio Visual systems will accommodate distance learning, video conferencing and cutting edge education methodologies.

在建筑上，建筑被认为是一个简单的长方形的体积，公共空间已经被“雕刻”。这种减法过程允许在校园内与其他建筑物隔离的单一建筑物提供大学环境的许多基本组成部分。在这个体积的固体中，西边有一个办公室侧翼，东边有一个教室和实验室翼，南面有一个公用设施支撑中心。这些空间之间和下面的空隙形成了一个封闭在三面的亲密的学术广场，旁边是通往主大厅的入口柱廊。额外的雕刻产生了一个入口门廊从东停车场到同一个中央大厅。

Architecturally, the building is conceived as a simple rectangular volume from which public spaces have been “carved”. This subtractive process allows the single building, isolated on campus from other buildings, to provide many essential components of a collegiate environment. Within solids of the volume are located an office wing to the west, a classroom and lab wing to the east, and a utility support core to the south. The voids between and below these spaces form an intimate academic plaza enclosed on three sides and flanked by an entrance colonnade leading to the main lobby. Additional carvings produce an entry porch from the east parking area to the same central lobby.

建成后，该设施将既是ECSU的一个独立设施，也是教育和扩大到更大社区的中心。新设施的一个重要目标是创建一个中心，以促进不同部门之间以及教师和学生之间的协作和互动。非传统课程、夜校课程和社区推广计划将是课程的重要组成部分。

When complete, the facility will serve as both an independent facility for ECSU and as a center for education and outreach to the greater community. A significant goal for the new facility is to create a center that fosters collaboration and interaction between the different departments as well as between faculty and students. Non-traditional, evening classes and community outreach programs will be important components of the curriculum.

该项目将是北卡罗来纳州最节能的公共建筑之一，也是节能和节水的典范。利用地热井、焓轮、高性能玻璃和其他先进的建筑系统，该设计将超过ASHRAE标准的47%。

The project will be one of North Carolina’s most energy efficient public buildings and a model for energy and water conservation. Utilizing geo-thermal wells, an enthalpy wheel, high performance glazing and other advanced building systems, the design will exceed ASHRAE standards by forty-seven percent.
