架构师提供的文本描述。这是布洛克大学一个新的174，000平方英尺的生物科学研究设施，也被称为凯恩斯家庭健康和生物科学综合体(CFHBC)。这座新建筑将为癌症研究、传染病、生物技术和绿色化学等领域的发展提供最先进的研究空间。该设施还将容纳急需的健康科学教学空间、扩大儿童和青年研究的空间以及促进研究人员和企业家之间合作的企业孵化器。大楼的较低层将包括一个Vivarium，一个NMR套件，一个光物理实验室，以及一个为这座大楼服务的机械公用设施，以及未来的校园建筑。这栋建筑的顶层有一个3级实验室，还有一个温室。除了布洛克这个备受期待的新项目空间外，麦克马斯特大学医学院的一个卫星设施将位于新大楼的底层。这种多样化和独特的程序，再加上大量重复的研究实验室空间，导致了一个严格的“实验室酒吧”的庞大概念，漂浮在一系列雕塑规划的“物体”之上。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a new 174,000 square foot Biosciences research facility at Brock University, also known as the Cairns Family Health and Bioscience Complex (CFHBC). The new building will provide state-of-the art research space for advancement in areas such as Cancer research, infectious diseases, biotechnology and green chemistry. The facility will also house much needed health science teaching space, expansion space for Child and Youth Studies, as well as a business incubator to foster collaboration between researchers and entrepreneurs. The lower level of the building will contain a Vivarium, an NMR suite, Photophysical Labs, and a mechanical utilities plant for serving this building, as well as future campus buildings. The top floor of the building houses a Bio-containment Level 3 Lab, as well as a greenhouse. In addition to this highly anticipated new program space for Brock, a satellite facility for McMaster University’s Medical School will be located on the ground floor of the new building. Such varied and unique programs, coupled with a large expanse of repetitive research lab space led to the massing concept of a rigorous “Lab Bar” floating over a series of sculptural programmatic “Objects.”

玻璃曾经是一种稀有且有限的材料，在旧建筑中使用非常少。现在，随着玻璃制造技术的进步和性能的提高，建筑物的整个围护结构可以用玻璃建造-而且大面积的玻璃经常用于内部隔断。

Glass was once a rare and limiting material, used very sparingly in older buildings. Now, with technological advancements in the manufacturing and performance of glass, a building’s entire enclosure can be constructed with glass – and large expanses of glass are often used for interior partitions.

对于布罗克大学凯恩斯家庭健康与生物科学研究中心(CFHBRC)，一系列玻璃“层”允许日光进入建筑物深处。玻璃上也有表面处理，以及控制进入建筑物的光线的外墙。各种类型的玻璃和屏幕提供透明，照明，光过滤和隐私。

For the Brock University Cairns Family Health and Biosciences Research Complex (CFHBRC), a series of glass “layers” allow daylight to penetrate deep into the building. There are also surface treatments on the glass, as well as an exterior screen wall that controls the light entering the building. The various types of glass and screens provide transparency, illumination, light filtration and privacy.

在上两个实验室楼层，透明玻璃的连续墙上有一个丝网印刷图案，用于过滤光线，降低太阳热量。虽然这种技术具有很高的透明度，但玻璃平面清楚地定义了建筑内部和外部之间的边界和屏幕。

On the upper two laboratory floors, the continuous wall of transparent glass has a screen-printed pattern applied to it which filters the light and reduces solar heat gain. While a high degree of transparency exists with this technique, the plane of glass clearly defines a boundary and a screen between the interior and exterior of the building.

在南面，不间断的玻璃墙的前面有一个3英尺高的太阳能屏，这是一个铝六角形框架，支持一系列紧密间隔的铝棒。六边形基元是分子结构的象征。这个屏幕作为一个“面纱”过滤阳光和控制眩光，但也作为一个更大的建筑表面的表现形式存在。在建筑物内，透过“屏幕”的视野得以保持，但眩光却明显减少。当从南看建筑物的外部时，这面屏风墙似乎有不同程度的透明度，这取决于光的角度和观看距离的变化。有时墙壁看起来几乎是坚固的，带有反射金属光泽，让人想起刷过的不锈钢。在其他时候，屏风墙似乎是一个非常轻的面纱，优雅地过滤光线。

On the south façade, the uninterrupted glass wall has a solar screen 3 feet in front of it, which is an aluminum hexagonal frame supporting a closely spaced series of aluminum rods. The hexagon motif is meant to be symbolic of molecular structure. This screen serves as a “veil” to filter sunlight and control glare, but also exists as a much larger architectural expression of surface. From within the building, the views out through the “screen” are maintained, yet there is a perceived reduction in glare. When viewing the building’s exterior from the south, this screen wall appears to have various degrees of transparency which changes depending on the angle of light and viewing distance. There are moments in time when the wall seems to be almost solid, with a reflective metallic sheen that is reminiscent of a brushed stainless steel. At other times, the screen wall seems as though it is a very light veil, elegantly filtering the light.

在实验室空间和教员办公室的两层楼上，目标是将自然光带入实验室深处，并以尽可能多的自然日光照亮主走廊。这条长长的走廊的北墙是一个连续的，从地板到天花板的酸蚀刻玻璃墙，它实际上更像是一个发光的表面。从北面的办公室借来的日光，一旦到达走廊，就变成了漫射的光芒。相比之下，走廊的南墙更坚固，进入实验室的入口有一系列的凹槽和展板设置在竹制的入口内。滑动显示板还可以隐藏走廊上的许多电气面板。

With the two upper floors of laboratory space and faculty offices, the goal was to bring natural light deep into the labs, and to illuminate the main corridor with as much natural daylight as possible. The northern wall of this long corridor is a continuous, floor-to-ceiling acid etched glass wall, which actually presents itself as more of a luminous surface. The borrowed daylight from the offices along the north façade becomes a diffuse glow once it reaches the corridor. By contrast, the southern wall of the corridor is more solid, with entrances into the labs marked by a series of recesses and display boards set within bamboo clad entry portals. The sliding display boards also act to conceal the many electrical panels that line the corridor.

为研究人员准备的办公桌位于实验室楼层南端的一个开放办公区域。这一空间与主实验室之间有一道全玻璃墙，有一系列竹衣入口，与主走廊实验室入口的设计相呼应。南光是通过外屏幕墙过滤，允许通过写作空间和深入研究实验室。

The write-up desks for the researchers are located in an open office zone along the southern edge of the lab floors. This space is separated from the main laboratory by a fully glazed wall with a series of bamboo clad entry portals, echoing the design of the main corridor lab entrances. Southern light is filtered by the exterior screen wall and allowed to pass through the write-up space and deep into the research labs.
