架构师提供的文本描述。戴维斯霍尔的设计建立了一个混合功能类型，创造了一个协作/互动的环境，电气工程和计算机科学学科。这座建筑为工程和应用科学学院创造了一个新的焦点，整合了七个不同的现有地点的功能，并完成了一系列1970年代后期马塞尔？布鲁厄建筑的组成。

Text description provided by the architects. The design for Davis Hall establishes a hybrid functional typology that creates a collaborative / interactive environment among electrical engineering and computer science disciplines. The building creates a new focal point for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, consolidating functions from seven different existing locations and completing the composition of a series of late 1970’s Marcel Breuer buildings.

一个显眼的铜色卷向外推出了一个新的“前门”，为工程学院，这是以前位于一条服务道路。这座建筑是围绕一个多层的画廊组织起来的，它为行人进入现有的校园提供便利，创造了一个互动的教育/研究环境，最终形成了一个多层学生休息室，激活了一个与布鲁尔大楼共享的新庭院。该建筑计划在一个高度灵活和适应性强的网格上进行，以便随着技术和教学方法的发展而具有灵活性。大楼的西边创建了一个活跃的户外画廊，当学生搬进校园时，可以为他们提供庇护。

A prominent copper-colored volume thrusts outward to announce a new ‘Front Door’ for the School of Engineering, which was previously located along a service roadway. The building is organized around a multi-story gallery which facilitates pedestrian traffic into the existing campus, creates an interactive educational / research environment, and which culminates in a multi-story student lounge that activates a new courtyard shared with the Breuer buildings. The building is planned on a highly flexible and adaptable grid to allow for flexibility as technology and teaching pedagogies evolve . The western edge of the building creates an activated outdoor gallery to shelters students as they move into the campus.

新建筑正在跟踪LEED黄金，目前的整体能源性能比ASHRAE 90.1-2004年的标准要求提高了33.8%。可持续性方法的具体特点包括：改进的建筑物外壳绝缘、高性能窗户、具有占用和光敏控制的节能照明设计、行政和办公区域采用冷却梁冷却的专用室外空气处理装置、带有接近传感器控制的可变体积排风罩气流控制、使用超大导管降低空气处理系统静压降以及降低空气处理单元部件的表面速度，能量回收和需求控制通风(DCV)。作为一个整体，最新的海洋建设大大改善了工程和大学社区以及减少对周围环境的影响。

The new building is tracking LEED Gold and currently improves overall energy performance 33.8% above the baseline ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard requirements. Specific features of the sustainability approach include: Improved Building Shell Insulation, High-performance windows, Energy efficient lighting design with occupancy and photosensor control, Dedicated outdoor air handling unit with chilled beam cooling for administrative and office areas, Variable volume fume hood airflow control with proximity sensor controls, Reduced air handling system static pressure drops using oversized ductwork and reduced face velocities across air handling unit components, Energy recovery and demand controlled ventilation (DCV). Taken as a whole, the up-to-date SEAS building greatly improves the engineering and university communities as well as decreasing impact on the surrounding environment.

珀金斯将专注于这座建筑设计中的连接和协作的基本概念，该建筑计划作为两个独立的、功能不同的模块，用于“计算”和“硬件”研究，并由一个玻璃封闭式多层画廊加入其中。面向南方，玻璃画廊是一个充满日光的科学公地，包括开放的楼梯，允许自发的学生和工作人员的互动。它还包括一系列互锁卷，其中包括进入实验室的窗口，以便积极展示技术研究。在整个建筑中，交叉学科区被分配给配备智能板的非正式聚会空间。

Perkins+Will concentrated on the primary concepts of connectedness and collaboration in the design of the building, which is planned as two separate and functionally distinct blocks for "computational" and "hardware" research that are joined by a glass-enclosed, multi-story gallery. Facing the south, the glass gallery is a daylight-filled science commons that includes open staircases that allow for spontaneous student and staff interaction. It also comprises a series of inter locking volumes that include windows into laboratories for the active display of technological research. Throughout the building, cross-disciplinary zones are distributed for informal gathering spaces equipped with SMART Boards.

该建筑通过定义一个新的四合院来组织海洋项目，为学校和校园创造一个新的身份，这个四合院聚集了学生/教员的活动，并建立了一个单一的外部和内部焦点。校园内的行人循环得到了增强，并通过交流研究成果和促进最新发现的程序元素而激活。通过在白色道路外的地址上定义一个新的“前门”，这座建筑为整个校园开创了一个新的成长和身份阶段。

The building organizes the SEAS program to create a new identity for both the school and the campus by defining a new quadrangle that gathers student / faculty activity and establishes a single exterior and interior focal point. Pedestrian circulation through the campus is physically enhanced, and activated with program elements that communicate research efforts and promote recent discoveries. By defining a new ‘front door’ along the outer White Road address, the building has initiated a new phase of growth and identity for the campus as a whole.
