架构师提供的文本描述。查尔斯罗斯建筑师的第一个设计是在2001年赢得全国竞争的一所商学院。这个项目让我们对市政总署对动态建筑的需求有了一个详细的了解，它可以帮助我们振兴和重组校园。门斯特大学中心是我们的第二个美元佣金。它坐落在一个新的四合院，我们通过移动停车场。

Text description provided by the architects. Charles Rose Architect’s first design for USD was a business school that won a national competition in 2001. That project gave us a detailed understanding of USD’s need for dynamic architecture that could help energize and reorder the campus. The Muenster University Center was our second USD commission. It is sited on a new quadrangle we created by moving a parking lot.

由于它在校园生活中所起的主导作用，我们让学生中心在纽约市政总署的北入口占据了突出的位置，那里毗邻一个历史悠久的步行街。我们翻新的购物中心是一个流通的中轴线，把学生中心和校园的中心-“老主”连接起来。我们还将学生中心与图书馆连接起来，建造了一个被称为“链接实验室”的有盖玻璃结构。

Because of its leading role in campus life, we gave the student center a prominent position at USD’s north portal, where it borders a historic pedestrian mall. The mall, which we renovated, is a central axis of circulation and links the student center with “Old Main,” the heart of the campus. We also connected the student center with the library by constructing a covered glass structure dubbed the “link lab.”

这个计算机实验室允许在寒冷的冬天，建筑物之间的移动很容易；从外面看，实验室的玻璃墙在四合院和步行街之间创造了透明度。

This computer lab permits easy movement between buildings during frigid winters; from the outside, the lab’s glass walls create transparency between the quadrangle and pedestrian mall.

该学生中心的外部是石英岩，同样的石头包覆的老主-和采石业从相同的地区来源。突出的特色包括第二层的舞厅，大胆地向老主厅摆姿势；在这突出的悬空下面是一个供户外就餐的露台。在里面，我们创造了一条穿过大楼的宽阔的中央小径；学生们可以在楼上的阳台上安坐在舒适的休息区里。

The student center’s exterior is quartzite, the same stone cladding for Old Main—and quarried from the same regional source. Notable features include the second-story ballroom that gestures boldly toward Old Main; beneath this prominent overhang is a terrace for outside dining. Inside, we created a wide central path through the building; students can perch on the balcony above in comfortable sitting areas.
