架构师提供的文本描述。莫霍克学院与Zeidler合作公司签订合同，领导一个超快通道项目的设计团队，该项目将为他们在安大略省汉密尔顿的茴香大道校园提供一个新的前门。针对LEED黄金标准，该项目的概念设计于2009年5月开始，将包括10个新教室和电子学习中心(ELC)。ELC包括一个书库区、工作人员工作区以及各种正式和非正式的小组学习领域。

Text description provided by the architects. Mohawk College contracted Zeidler Partnership to lead the design team for an ultra-fast-track project that would provide a new front entrance for their Fennel Avenue Campus in Hamilton, Ontario. Targeting a LEED® Gold Standard, conceptual design for the project started in May of 2009 that would incorporate 10 new classrooms and Electronic Learning Centre (ELC). The ELC included an area for book stacks, staff work areas and a variety of formal and informal group study areas.

这些非正式研究区被纳入连接茴香大道入口与校园室内“主街”的链接。布置了教室和学习区域，以便与地板、墙电源和数据插座相协调。Mohawk正在更新他们的数字教学设备，Zeidler与Mohawk合作将新系统集成到教室设计中，从而使教室实现了最新的技术系统集成。

These informal study areas were incorporated into the link that connects the Fennel Avenue entrance to the indoor ‘Main Street’ of the campus. Classroom and study areas were laid out to be coordinated with floor and wall power and data outlets. Mohawk was in the process of updating their digital teaching equipment and Zeidler worked with Mohawk to integrate the new systems in the classroom design so that the classrooms achieve the latest technological systems integration.

该项目采用了若干不同的可持续设计方法，例如；利用现有的中央能源工厂来循环板坯加热，通过四个单独的空气处理单元来实现空调，其中一个是专门用于新鲜空气的，一个空气系统，包含一个热焓轮从废气中提取能量，一个种植的绿色屋顶和室外露台，以及室内空气回流循环，将由一个上升两级的活墙辅助。

The project employs a number of different sustainable design approaches such as; harnessing the existing central energy plant to circulate in-slab heating, air conditioning achieved by four separate air-handling units with one dedicated to fresh air intake, an air system that incorporates a heat enthalpy wheel to extract energy from exhaust air, a planted green roof and outdoor terrace as well as indoor air return air circulation that will be assisted by a living wall rising two levels.

该设计结合了暴露混凝土天花板和地板的声学性能通过墙壁处理达到最先进的教室声音控制。快速通道法允许在2010年8月开始施工之前申请并收到挖掘和地下结构建筑许可证。

The design incorporates exposed concrete ceiling and floors with acoustic performance achieved by wall treatments to state of the art classroom sound control. The fast track approach allowed for excavation and substructure building permit to be applied for and received prior to the construction start in August 2010.
