架构师提供的文本描述。由于艾达斯建筑师设计的850万国标重建项目，罗瑟勒姆中央火车站得到了极大的改善。车站现在有最先进的设施，包括新的电梯和楼梯，为乘客提供更好的通道。2010年春季，车站开始施工。车站其他已改善的地方包括新售票处、新候车室、新照明、改善乘客资讯屏幕及入口。南约克郡客运公司(SYPTE)客户体验总监大卫·杨(David Young)说：“我们相信，车站设施的显著改善会给客户留下深刻印象，我们希望这将有助于使该镇成为一个更加充满活力、成功和健康的城市，让人们能够生活、工作、参观和投资。”该项目由南约克郡客运管理公司(SYPTE)领导，与网络铁路、北方铁路和罗瑟勒姆铁路公司合作。SYPTE很高兴地承认，欧洲联盟通过2007-13年欧洲区域发展基金慷慨地支持了车站的重新开发。艾达斯的车站设计为该镇提供了一个现代化的新门户。

Text description provided by the architects. Rotherham Central railway station has been greatly improved thanks to a £8.5 million redevelopment project designed by AEDAS Architects.. The station now has state-of-the-art facilities including new lifts and stairs which provide better access for passengers. Construction work began at the station in spring 2010. Other areas of the station which have been improved include a new ticketing office, new waiting room, new lighting, improved passenger information screens and entrance. South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) Director of Customer Experience, David Young, said: “We are confident that customers will be impressed with the significant improvements in the station’s facilities, which we hope will contribute to making the town a much more vibrant, successful and healthy place for people to live, work, visit and invest in.” The project has been led by South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) in partnership with Network Rail, Northern Rail and Rotherham MBC. SYPTE is pleased to acknowledge that the redevelopment of the station has been generously supported by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund 2007-13. Aedas' design for the station provides a modern new gateway to the town.

该项目是罗瑟勒姆议会25年重建城镇的愿景中的一个关键因素，它提供了高质量的零售、休闲、办公、住宅和公共空间。通过他们的竞争获胜的设计，艾达斯希望确保空间站成为再生和投资于罗瑟勒姆的催化剂。Aedas设计了一个定制的轻量级结构，将封闭的楼梯和电梯塔连接到两个平台上。这包括独特的平台檐盖，创造一个宽敞和通风的环境，同时提供遮阳和加长平台，连接新的垂直循环和提供更长的操作平台。他们还加入了其他元素和材料，如雪松，以提供一个更软的界面，在硬调色板的工业材料。该简报还要求车站改善市中心的物理和视觉连通性，同时改善乘客的可达性、可持续性和今后扩大车站的潜力。艾达斯利兹办公室副主任Alistair分公司向PremierConstruction公司介绍了重建的情况。

The project is a key element in the Rotherham Council’s 25 year vision to redevelop the town, providing high quality retail, leisure, office, residential and public spaces. Through their competition-winning design, Aedas wanted to ensure that the station became a catalyst for regeneration and investment in Rotherham. Aedas designed a bespoke lightweight structure incorporating enclosed stair and lift towers to both platforms. This includes distinct platform canopies creating a spacious and airy environment while providing shade and lengthened platforms connecting new vertical circulation and providing longer operation platforms. They have also incorporated other elements and materials, such as cedar to provide a softer interface within the hard palette of industrial materials. The brief also required the station to improve physical and visual connectivity within the town centre together with improved passenger accessibility, sustainability and the potential for the future expansion of the station. Alistair Branch, Associate Director at Aedas Leeds Office told Premier Construction about the redevelopment.

“该项目于2007年底开始，作为SYPTE和约克郡前进公司之间的一项倡议，目的是加强现有的空间站，重点是提供通往罗瑟勒姆的新门户。“最初的竞赛设计理念之一是使用电梯竖井作为车站的灯塔-我们让它们更高，并将标志和玻璃融入到电梯轴的设计中，并在电梯轴上照明，以照亮它们并标明车站的位置。”“车站的主要灵感在于提供一种现代的、模块化的、轻巧的结构，提高透气性和乘客舒适性，使建筑具有工业美学，反映北光建筑。”在概念阶段开发的设计几乎与今天开放和可操作的设计相同，这证明了SYPTE和约克郡前锋对设计质量的关注。我们与客户和利益相关者密切合作，推动该计划，以确保它保持他们在竞争阶段选择的概念的完整性。“可持续性也是客户要求的一个组成部分，实现了“非常好”的BREEAM认证。除了采购当地材料和仔细考虑应使用哪些材料外，还通过安装在主入口建筑物屋顶上的雨水收集和光伏电池板纳入了可再生技术。为了开始将新的车站整合到城镇中，SYPTE公司正在进行最后一套网关工程，以便通过改善座位、照明和景观，完成车站与邻近运河之间的连接。

“The project started in late 2007 as an initiative between SYPTE and Yorkshire forward as a scheme to enhance the existing station with a focus towards providing a new gateway to Rotherham. “Part of the original competition design concept was to use the lift shafts as a beacon for the station – we made them taller and incorporated signage and glazing into the design with internal and external lighting to the lift shafts to illuminate them and signify the stations location.” “The main inspiration for the station was to provide a contemporary, modular, lightweight structure with improved permeability and passenger comfort with an industrial aesthetic to the building, reflective of north light architecture. The design developed at concept stage is almost identical to what is open and operational today and that is testament to SYPTE and Yorkshire Forward’s focus on design quality. We worked closely with the client and stakeholders to drive the scheme to make sure it retained the concept integrity that they selected at competition stage.” Sustainability has also been an integral part of the client’s requirements, achieving a BREEAM accreditation of ‘very good’. In addition to sourcing local materials and carefully considering what materials should be used, renewable technologies have been incorporated through rain water harvesting and photovoltaic panels installed on the roof of the main entrance building. To begin integrating the new station into the town, SYPTE are undertaking a final package of gateway works to finish the connection between the station and adjacent canal with improved seating, lighting and landscaping.

阿利斯泰尔补充说：“新车站的设计力求将车站的各个元素统一在一种连贯的建筑方法中，利用形式和结构创造一个戏剧性的、建筑上令人印象深刻的入口，增强用户体验，并大大改善市中心。”

Alistair added: “The design of the new station has sought to unify the elements of the station within a coherent architectural approach, using form and structure to create a dramatic and architecturally impressive gateway, enhancing the user experience and greatly improving the town centre.”
