这座新设施是与大学领导层、行政人员和用户团队密切合作设计的，位于校园的西边，这是一个被选为主要大学入口的地点，并有可能将学院与加州亨廷顿海滩(Huntington海滩)连接起来。社区。

Designed in close collaboration with college leadership, administrative staff, and building user groups, the new facility is located at the western edge of campus, a site chosen for its prominence as the main college entry and its potential to connect the institution with the surrounding Huntington Beach, Calif. community.

在建筑上，建筑使用了一个简单的调色板建筑混凝土，不锈钢金属面板和玻璃作为外部信封。内部的暴露混凝土是由竹地板和墙板的使用补充，并通过使用生气勃勃的颜色在地板和家具。

Architecturally, the building uses a simple palette of architectural concrete, stainless steel metal panels and glass for the exterior envelope. The interior’s exposed concrete is complemented by the use of bamboo flooring and wall panels, and through the use of vibrant color on both the flooring and furniture.

这座建筑的入口和入口让游客通过一系列的过渡空间。首先，他们穿过一个悬挂的设施，建立了通往校园的大门，同时加强了LRC的入口。一旦进入大厅，空间就会扩展成一个双高的空间，这样就可以与位于二楼的图书馆进行视觉和物理上的连接。

The approach and entrance to the building moves visitors through a series of transitional spaces. First, they cross under a suspended installation that establishes a gateway to the campus while reinforcing the entrance to the LRC. Once in the lobby, the space expands into a double height volume that allows a visual and physical connection to the library located on the second floor.

当游客通过大厅垂直流动时，他们到达另一个门槛，将他们带到图书馆的主入口处。穿过这个入口时，是建筑物内的第二个双高体积。这个区域连接第二层和第三层，充当楼层之间的主要循环。

As visitors circulate vertically through the lobby, they arrive at another threshold bringing them to the main library entrance. Upon crossing this entry, is a second double height volume within the building. This area connects the second level to the third, acting as the primary circulation between floors.

图书馆的这一部分进一步突出了大型公共座位楼梯供非正式聚会和演讲，以及四个大天窗有助于将自然照明带入建筑中心。这三种元素的结合-体积、公共聚会和自然照明-在进入图书馆时创造了一种非常戏剧性的体验。

This portion of the library is highlighted further by the large communal seat stair for informal gatherings and presentations, as well as four large skylights that help bring natural lighting into the center of the building. The combination of these three elements -- volume, communal gathering and natural lighting -- create a very dramatic experience upon entering the library.

一旦进入，有一个自然的组织各图书馆部分创建的安静，协作，社会和私人分区的平面图。这些都是进一步加强了丰富的高质量的自然照明，使尽可能最大化的建筑物的北部曝光率。为了利用东面和西面的自然照明，同时尽量减少太阳热量的增加，玻璃单元在最里面的层上有一个完整的、可扩展的金属皮。

Once inside, there is a natural organization to the various library sections created by the layering of quiet, collaborative, social and private zones of the floor plan. These are further enhanced by the abundance of high quality natural lighting made possible by maximizing the building’s northern exposure. In order to leverage the natural lighting on the east and the west facades, while minimizing solar heat gain, the glazing units have an integrated, expandable metal skin on the innermost layers.
