架构师提供的文本描述。大学托儿中心位于西蒙弗雷泽大学的高密度，可持续的大学社区的中心。该设施收容了50名3至5岁的儿童。该大楼为两个“中心”提供单独的空间和服务，供两组25名儿童使用，并为两个群体共同使用和互动提供“社区”空间。除了SFU儿童保育协会的9名工作人员外，它还接待了西蒙弗雷泽大学的学术研究人员，他们利用该设施作为活生生的实验室，观察和进行早期儿童教育的第一手研究。

Text description provided by the architects. The UniverCity Childcare is located at the heart of Simon Fraser University’s high-density, sustainable community of UniverCity. The facility hosts 50 children ranging from 3 to 5 years old. The building provides two “centres” with separate spaces and services for two groups of 25 children as well as a “community” space for the shared use and interaction of the two groups. In addition to the 9 staff of the SFU Childcare Society, it also hosts academic researchers from Simon Fraser University who use the facility as a living lab to observe and conduct firsthand study of early childhood education.

理论设计原则

Theory + Design Principles

大学城儿童保育中心是世界上第一个将“生活建筑挑战”(Living Building™)与著名的雷吉奥·埃米莉亚(Reggio Emilia)幼儿教育相结合的儿童保育中心，这是一项超越LEED白金的下一代绿色建筑要求。雷吉奥·埃米莉亚(Reggio Emilia)独特的教育规划模式是基于对孩子们的好奇心和潜能的除了雷吉奥独特的教育程序外，环境被认为是“第三位老师”。美丽和奇迹被灌输到幼儿园的材料、表面和光线中。托儿所本身就成了一个自主学习的实验室。它提供了独特的机会，无论在室内还是室外，孩子们都要探索水、光、空气、重力、植被和季节变化。

UniverCity Childcare is the first childcare centre in the world to integrate the Living Building Challenge™, the next generation of green building requirements that goes beyond LEED Platinum, with the renowned Reggio Emilia early childhood pedagogy.  The Reggio Emilia’s unique educational programming model is predicated on a deep respect for children’s curiosity, their potential, and their right to communicate through the diverse languages they employ for self-expression.  In addition to Reggio’s unique educational programming, the environment is considered the “Third Teacher”.  Beauty and wonder are infused into the materials, surfaces, and light qualities of the preschool centres.  The childcare facility itself becomes a laboratory for self-directed learning.  It provides unique opportunities, both indoors and out, for the children to explore water, light, air, gravity, vegetation and seasonal changes.

项目小组从项目的最初阶段就采取了多方面的教育方法。综合设计讲习班确保将用户和利益攸关方的投入纳入设计，同时向他们通报项目的独特性质。

The project team adopted a multifaceted educational approach from the earliest stages of the project. Integrated design workshops ensured that the input from the users and stakeholders would be incorporated in the design while they could be informed of the unique nature of the project.

Context + Site

作为“生活建筑挑战计划”要求的一部分，该项目建立在以前开发的一个地点上，对现有的自然生态系统几乎没有任何影响。此外，该项目承诺永久保留同等数量的土地，作为生境交换的一部分。通过在一个10，000加仑的蓄水池中收集雨水供建筑物内使用，雨水将大大减少。任何额外的排水将被渗透到现场，并在必要时转用于社区的可持续雨水处理系统。景观设计纳入了本土和适应性植物，不需要灌溉后，最初建立期。

As part of the requirements of the Living Building Challenge program, the project was built on a previously developed site with almost no impact on the existing natural ecosystems. In addition, the project committed to set aside an equal amount of land away from the project site in perpetuity as part of a habitat exchange. By collecting rainwater in a 10,000-gallon cistern for use within the building, the stormwater run-off will be significantly reduced. Any additional run-off will be infiltrated on site and, if necessary, diverted to the community’s sustainable stormwater treatment system. The landscape design incorporates native and adaptive plants that require no irrigation after the initial establishment period.

大学是一个紧凑，混合使用和交通导向的社区，建立在环境，公平，经济和教育四个可持续的基石之上。托儿中心不提供任何停车位，只需步行一分钟就可到达SFU大学的交通枢纽。该社区目前和未来的居民也很容易步行前往，因为它位于UniverCity的中心地带。

UniverCity is designed to be a compact, mixed-use and transit-oriented community founded on four sustainable cornerstones of environment, equity, economy and education. The Childcare does not provide any parking spaces and is just a minute walk away from the SFU University transit hub. It is also easily accessible on foot by the current and future residents of the community as it is centrally located within the UniverCity lands.

预算时间限制

Budget + Time Constraints

大学城市儿童保育中心正在实现所有这些雄心勃勃的目标，但与该区域其他地方的传统儿童保育中心相比，建造成本较低。

The UniverCity Childcare Centre is achieving all these ambitious goals while costing less to build than conventional childcare centres elsewhere in the region.

可持续性原则

Sustainability Principles

居住建筑挑战标准影响了该项目的可持续设计策略。该决定遵循最先进和最严格的绿色建筑认证计划，导致净零能源，净零水建筑，一个典型的健康的室内空气质量和当地和负责任的来源材料。LBC是该项目对社会、经济和环境可持续性作出贡献的催化剂。

The Living Building Challenge criteria influenced the sustainable design strategies for this project. The decision to follow the most advanced and stringent green building certification program resulted in a net-zero energy, net-zero water building with an exemplarily healthy indoor air quality and locally and responsibly sourced materials. The LBC was a catalyst for the project’s contribution to social, economic and environmental sustainability.

在入伙前的全天工作坊中，所有顾问和承包商都向用户和客户通报了建筑物的可持续特点和各种建筑系统的适当使用情况。托儿所的孩子们也邀请首席建筑师前来与他们交谈，以便他们能够更好地了解什么是有生命的建筑物。与用户组和居住者的互动将在“生活建筑挑战”所要求的为期一年的监控期内继续进行。实时建筑性能数据也将通过用户友好、易于理解的视觉界面提供，该界面是通过建筑物系统监控程序提供的。

In a full-day workshop prior to occupancy, all consultants and the contractor informed the user group and the client of the sustainable features of the building and of proper use of various building systems. The children from the Childcare also invited the Principal Architect to come and speak to them so that they could have a better understanding of what a living building is. The interaction with the user group and building occupants will continue during the one-year monitoring period required by Living Building Challenge.  The real-time building performance data will also be available through user-friendly, easily understandable visual interface fed through a building systems monitoring program.
