架构师提供的文本描述。建筑环境和基础设施研究中心(CBEIS)被认为是人员、思想、部门和建筑方法的交流。通过将多个设计和工程学科安置在一个屋檐下，CBEIS促进了建筑和规划局、土木工程系和运输学院组成学生和教员之间的互动。作为校园周边的门户网站，CBEIS还将柏林路的开发边缘与草鱼田园的自然环境相连接。

Text description provided by the architects. The Center for the Built Environment and Infrastructure Studies (CBEIS) is conceived as an exchange of people, ideas, departments and building methodology. By housing multiple design and engineering disciplines under one roof, CBEIS promotes interactivity among constituent student and faculty from the School of Architecture and Planning, Department of Civil Engineering and Institute of Transportation. As a gateway site on the campus periphery, CBEIS also mediates between the developed edge of Perring Parkway on one side and the bucolic natural setting of Herring Run on the other.

大楼四层设有多个部门。本着合作参与的精神，两个水平的酒吧连接了一个天空照明的中庭，这个中庭贯穿着整个建筑的长度，创造了一条内部街道，在这里，节目融合，学生的活力得以表达，社会空间满足学习环境。“街道”的特色是一个咖啡馆、休息室、信息亭、部门“店面”、与学术工作室空间的视觉连接以及一个类似画廊的空间，供人们互动和展示他们的作品。

Multiple departments are accommodated on the four levels of the building. In the spirit of collaborative engagement, two horizontal bars bound a sky-lit atrium that runs the length of the building creates as an internal street where programs mix, student vitality is expressed and social spaces meet learning environments. The “street” features a café, lounges, information kiosk, departmental “store fronts”, visual connections to academic studio spaces and a gallery-like space for the interactivity of people and display of their work.

CBEIS也是一个可持续发展的设计和工程实验室。为此，该项目是LEED黄金认证。不仅利用了白天照明战略、资源节约和能源效率来实现可持续性目标，而且还部署了多种系统来实现每一个目标，以直观地揭示各种选择，并作为教学参考点。采用多种形式的日光收集，采用两种绿色屋顶系统，并将传统的屋顶光伏电池板与幕墙集成光伏集热器结合起来，以说明现有的各种技术。为了说明建筑系统的动态和综合性，中庭以图形方式显示相对于气候和占用率差异的性能。

CBEIS also serves as a laboratory for sustainability in design and engineering.To this end, the project is LEED Gold Certified. Not only are day-lighting strategies, resource conservation and energy efficiency leveraged to meet sustainability goals, multiple systems to achieving each of these ends are deployed to visually reveal the options and serve as pedagogical reference points. Multiple forms of daylight harvesting are used, two green roof systems are incorporated, and traditional rooftop photo voltaic (PV) panels are combined with curtain wall integrated PV collectors to illustrate the various technologies available. To help illustrate the dynamic and integrated nature of the building systems, atrium displays graphically monitor performance relative to climatic and occupancy variances.
