架构师提供的文本描述。刚踏进爱迪生高中的新学术大楼，你的眼睛就会向上拉。高耸的窗户和高耸的天花板在丰富的自然光中真实地摇曳着。这肯定是一个地方，将兴奋和激励学生很快走在这个独特的新结构的大厅。

Text description provided by the architects. Upon first stepping inside the new Edison High School Academic Building your eyes are drawn upward. The soaring windows and lofty ceiling are truly stirring in the abounding natural light. It is sure to be a spot which will exhilarate and inspire the students soon to walk the halls of this unique new construct.

爱迪生技术高中始建于1906年，距1885年加州弗雷斯诺市注册为市区仅21年。高中西部的弗雷斯诺社区在接下来的60年里稳步增长。从简陋的开端，只有两座建筑，校园发展到包括额外的教室翅膀，艺术和戏剧，在各个方面，学校扩大，以支持蓬勃发展的社区。

Edison Technical High School was originally founded in 1906, just twenty-one years after Fresno California was incorporated as a city proper in 1885. The High School’s west Fresno neighborhood saw steady growth through the next 60 years. From its humble beginnings with just two buildings, the campus grew to include additional classroom wings, art and drama, on all sides the school expanded to support the thriving community.

然而，1972年，老化的教学楼被拆除，导致爱迪生高中失去了很大的身份。由于校园和社区的价值观和愿望如此紧密地联系在一起，在经历了近三十年的衰落之后，显而易见的是，有必要进行决定性的变革。规划会议是为了将行政人员、工作人员、学生、家长和社区成员的想法和需要纳入一个具有凝聚力的校园总体计划。

However, in 1972 the aging classroom building was demolished, triggering a great loss of identity for Edison High School. With the values and aspirations of the campus and community so intrinsically linked, after almost thirty years of decline, it became clear a defining change was necessary. Planning sessions were held to integrate the ideas and needs of administrators, staff, students, parents, and members of the community into one cohesive Campus Master Plan.

第一座为爱迪生高中开创了成长和骄傲时代的新建筑，是校园变化的标志性旗舰。动态的新学术建筑在通过未来所有预期的增长和现代化来更新机构的建筑风格的过程中具有重要的价值。此外，正是通过它的完成，学生，教职员工和社区开始重新夺回失去爱迪生高中的身份。

The first new building to usher in this era of growth and pride for Edison High school is an iconic flagship for the changing campus. The dynamic new Academic Building holds cardinal value in the process of updating the architectural vernacular of the institution through all projected growth and modernizations yet to come. Additionally, it is through its completion, that the students, staff, and community have begun to recapture that lost Edison High School identity.

优先处理过时的便携式教室，为先进的技术实验室、教室和学习空间让路：

Disposing of outdated portable classrooms to make way for leading-edge technical labs, classrooms, and learning spaces was of high priority:

-作为一所数学和科学的磁石学校，重要的是实验室和标准教室必须与技术标准相匹配，甚至超过技术标准，这样才能实现以项目为基础的学习环境潜力，并在未来整合最先进的设备。-艺术教室和演讲厅/演讲空间是必要的，使学生能够培养他们的表达能力和沟通能力。同时也为工作人员培训甚至社区会议提供了空间。-一个独特的特殊教育教室应提供一个适合手工教学的空间，并支持与更大的学生群体融合。

-  As a magnet school for math and science it was important that the labs and standard classrooms matched and even exceeded technological standards, allowing for a project based learning environment potential, and future integration of state-of-the-art equipment.  -  Art classrooms and a lecture hall/presentation space were needed, allowing students to foster their expression and communication skills, while also providing a space for staff training and even community meetings. -  A unique special education classroom should provide a space tailored to hands-on teaching, and be supportive of integration with the larger student body.

由达顿建筑师领导并由特纳建筑公司建造，该项目现已完成。共提供1230万美元资金(包括HPI奖金，PG)

Lead by Darden Architects and built by Turner Construction, the project has now come to completion. With $12.3m in combined funding (including an HPI incentive grant, PG&E savings by design grant, SFP Modernization & Growth, and ORG) and a bid amount of $11.8m, non-district funding sources more than paid for the project.

学术建筑建立在校园，一个难忘和戏剧性的视觉形象。为了与其技术背景保持一致，一个二进制代码环境图形图案被编织到用于遮阳西面教室的防晒霜上，并被安装在大楼内的战略位置。为了支持学校精神，爱迪生的“虎”黄色标出了建筑低调的色彩方案。这一高性能、可持续的设计将把爱迪生高中丰富的历史和光明的未来结合在一起，其特色包括丰富的自然照明的牧师窗、宽敞的教室和走廊。

The Academic building establishes on the campus, a memorable and dramatic visual identity. In keeping with its technical background, a binary code environmental graphic pattern is woven onto the sun screen used to shade the west-facing classrooms, and is taken inside the building at strategic locations. In support of school spirit the Edison “Tiger” yellow punctuates the building’s understated color scheme. With features like its abundant naturally illuminating clerestory windows, and spacious classrooms and hallways, this High-performance, sustainably-minded design will bring together the rich history and bright future of Edison High School.
