架构师提供的文本描述。罗伯特·H·何研究中心是温哥华总医院校园内的一个七层楼高的65，000平方英尺的设施。该项目是CEI架构与MCMP架构师之间的合作项目。CEI的角色从最初的可行性研究和原理图设计开始，并继续担任PrimeArchitecture顾问，负责协调所有程序和与用户相关的需求，包括界面、实验室/模块设计和内部设计。

Text description provided by the architects. The Robert H. N. Ho Research Centre is a seven-level, 65,000 square foot facility on the Vancouver General Hospital campus. The project was a collaboration between CEI Architecture and MCMP Architects. CEI’s role began with the initial feasibility study and schematic design and continued as Prime Architectural Consultant, responsible for coordination of all programs and user related requirements, including interface, lab/module design, and interior design.

罗伯特·H·何研究中心(RobertH.N.Ho)是杰克·贝尔(JackBell)设施的补充设施。它狭窄的位置决定了一个狭窄的楼板。两座建筑之间的楼层与楼层高度相匹配，一个全高度的中庭将建筑物分隔开来，同时提供了通往光线、公共社交空间和直接功能连接的通道。

The Robert H. N. Ho Research Centre is an addition to the Jack Bell facility. Its narrow site dictated a narrow floor plate. Floor-to-floor heights between the two structures match, and a full-height atrium separates the buildings while providing access to light, common social gathering spaces, and direct functional connections.

CEI设计团队与用户组密切合作，以了解他们的工作流需求。用户群体习惯于在孤立的办公室工作，无法协作或交叉传播想法。设计团队推荐了一种新的集成工作空间模型，它为交互和交流提供了机会，同时也尊重了对私有工作的需求。

The CEI design team worked closely with user groups to understand their workflow needs. The user groups were accustomed to working in isolated offices, unable to collaborate or cross-pollinate ideas. The design team recommended a new integrated workspace model that provides opportunities for interaction and communication, while also respecting the need for private work.

在与用户协商的过程中，我们访问了其他具有类似计划的成功的研究机构，并利用这些信息重新定义了传统的基于研究的工作场所。我们使用3D模型帮助向用户传达我们的愿景，并向他们展示混合设计如何改善功能和通信的实际应用。

In concert with the user consultation process, we visited other successful research facilities with similar plans, and used this information to redefine the traditional research-based workplace. We used 3D models to help communicate our vision to users and show them practical applications of how a hybrid design would improve functionality and communication.

CEI还充当家具系统设计者和用户群体之间的促进者，帮助确定和制定灵活的备选方案，以适用于设施的各种用途和用户。

CEI also served as a facilitator between the furniture systems designer and user groups, helping to define and develop flexible options that would work for the various uses and users of the facility.

可持续设计最突出的要素是灵活性的整合，使居住者能够改变空间以适应他们的需要，而不需要昂贵和破坏性的翻修。实质的采光是由天窗上方的全高度中庭，纵向贯穿设施，为所有楼层的办公室提供照明。

The most prominent element of sustainable design is the integration of flexibility, which allows the occupants to transform the space to suit their needs rather than requiring costly and disruptive renovations. Substantial daylighting is provided by skylights above the full-height atrium that runs lengthwise through the facility, providing light to offices on all floors.
