苏格兰国际建筑实践工作室RMJM设计了英国最现代化、环保和可持续的高等教育学习环境之一。新的7200万英镑的艾尔校园是苏格兰西部大学(UWS)和苏格兰农业学院(SAC)的所在地。校园于2012年1月24日正式启用，这是UWS‘gb 2亿发展计划中的一个关键项目。

The Scottish studio of international architecture practice,RMJM has designed one of the UK’s most modern, environmentally friendly and sustainable Higher Education learning environments. The new £72 million Ayr Campus development is home to the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) and the Scottish Agricultural College (SAC). The campus was officially launched on 24 January 2012.It is a key project in the UWS’ £200 million development plan.

“基于我们卓越的声誉和在学习、教学、研究和知识转移方面的成功，将取决于在所有校园内建立一个21世纪的环境，而我们的2亿英镑投资计划就是要做到这一点。”我对每一个为这个项目工作的人的工作感到高兴-我们所取得的成就是高等教育的一座里程碑式的建筑，我们都可以理所当然地为之感到自豪。“西默斯·麦克达德教授，校长兼副校长。

“Building on our reputation for excellence and our successes in learning, teaching, research and knowledge transfer will depend on the development of a 21st century environment across all campuses, and our £200 million investment programme aims to do just that. I am delighted with the work of everyone who has worked on this project - what we’ve achieved is a landmark building for Higher Education and one that we can all rightly be proud of.” Professor Seamus McDaid CBE, Principal and Vice-Chancellor.

该建筑在Bespoke设计中获得了BREEAM“优秀”评级。

The building has achieved a BREEAM “Excellent” rating for Bespoke Design & Procurement and is on track to retain this rating at the Post-Construction stage. The project was developed in consultation with the Scottish Funding Council, South Ayrshire Council, Natural Garden Society, Historic Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, Scottish Wildlife Trust, and Architecture and Design Scotland.

这是苏格兰西部大学的一项重要的基本建设项目，但只花了两年时间就建成了，并在分配的预算范围内很好地完成了。这座新大楼被UWS商学院、计算学院、创建学院的3000多名学生使用。

It has been a major capital project for University of the West of Scotland, yet has taken just 2 years to construct and was completed well within the allocated budget. The new building is used by over 3,000 students in UWS Schools of Business, Computing, Creating & Cultural Industries, Education, Health, Nursing and Midwifery and on SAC’s Agriculture, Applied Science and Technology, Tourism and Outdoor Pursuits courses.

建筑师兼RMJM总监尼尔·麦克莱恩(Neil McLean)表示，这种设计灵感来自成熟的林地环境，“这座建筑的设计目的是同情它的设置，通过捕捉风景，最大限度地利用建筑物使用者的内部体验。”客户的投入对概念的发展至关重要，因为大学通过确定空间和功能方面的关键参数，积极参与了设计过程。

The inspiration for the design derived from the mature woodland setting, says architect and RMJM director Neil McLean, “The building is designed to be sympathetic to its setting, maximising the internal experience of the building’s users by capturing views back to the landscape.” The client’s input was crucial to the conceptual development as the University actively participated in the design process by setting down key parameters in terms of space and function.

Design & Layout

这座地标建筑的设计补充了壮观的28英亩的公园和河畔环境，并精心建造，以尽量减少对现有野生动物的干扰。所有的学术功能已合并成一座18，000平方米的大楼，以尽量减少对成熟公园设置的影响，并最大限度地提高效率和共享交付。这座建筑是围绕着“花园房”形成的：两个庭院和一个中庭空间，这使得土地景观可以进入建筑物。

The landmark building’s design complements the spectacular 28 acre parkland and riverside surroundings and has been carefully constructed to minimise disruption to existing wildlife. All of the academic functions have been consolidated into a single 18,000m2 building, in order to minimise the impact on the mature park setting and maximise efficiency and shared delivery. The building is formed around ‘garden rooms’: two courtyards and an atrium space, which allows the land scape to enter into the building.
