架构师提供的文本描述。健康科学职业学院(IHSCA)是拉丁美洲进步研究所(IDPL)于2008年创办的一所特许高中。这个最先进的设施于2011年9月开业，为下一代的医生、护士、信息学专业人员和生物技术人员铺平道路。

Text description provided by the architects. The Instituto Health Sciences Career Academy High School (IHSCA) is a charter high school founded by Instituto del Progreso Latino (IDPL) in 2008. This state‐of‐the‐art facility opened in September 2011, and is heralded to pave the way for the next generation of doctors, nurses, informatics professionals and bio‐ technicians.

为了开发这个项目，研究小组选择了一个有争议的地点：一座废弃的建筑，位于芝加哥西南部一个经济不景气的地区。这一决定背后的原因不仅是为了重新利用空置的、不断恶化的建筑结构，而且更重要的是为了延续IDPL的遗产：通过创建一个将其创始建筑与新学校连接起来的总体计划，重新激活它原来的社区；创造不仅仅是一个经济引擎，而且也是一个社会变革的锚。

To develop the project, the team chose a controversial site: an abandoned building inserted in an economically depressed area on the southwest of Chicago. The reasons behind this decision were not only to reuse the vacant deteriorating building structure, but more so to continue the legacy of IDPL: to reactivate its origin neighborhood through the creation of a master plan that would connect its founding building with the new school; creating more than an economical engine but also an anchor for social change.

学校的创新继续进行，并渗透到建筑项目中。两个姐妹组织：IDPL/IHSCA，合并他们的需求，定义可以在学生和社区之间共享的空间。这不仅节省了资源，而且也是巩固学校作为社区中心的一种方式：一个社会机构。

The school innovations continue and permeate with the architectural program. Both sister organizations: IDPL/IHSCA, conglomerate their needs defining spaces that can be shared between the students and the community. This, not only saved resources, but was also a way to solidify the school as a community center: a social institution.

这个项目改造了一座废弃的工业建筑.对现有大楼进行了翻修和扩建，以容纳方案构成部分。该建筑的概念设计从这些项目中寻找灵感，旨在促进学生、教师和社区之间的学习和因果互动。

The project re‐purposed an abandoned industrial building. The existing building was renovated and enlarged to accommodate the programmatic components. The conceptual design of the building seeks inspiration from these programs, arranged to promote learning and causal interaction between the students, faculty and community.

这座20世纪20年代，厚重的木材和砖瓦建筑被赋予了一个全新的颜色变形的外观和一个完整的内部装修。所有这一切，结合学校的先进教育策略和技术教学工具，使这一项目走上了当代教育设计的前沿。此外，他们被分为四个类别，以适应四个层次的建筑，命名如下：社区，学院，医院和生物技术。其中每一个都可以通过明亮的配色方案、图形和家具来识别，这些都为学生提供了积极而充满活力的经历，帮助他们通过教育取得进步，并努力取得未来的成功。

This 1920s‐era, heavy timber and brick building has been given a brand new color‐morphing facade and a complete interior renovation. All this, combined with the school’s cutting‐edge educational strategies and technological teaching tools have brought this project to the forefront of contemporary educational design. Furthermore, they are broken down into four categories to fit within the four levels of the building, named as follows: Community, College, Hospital, and Biotech. Each of these are identifiable by their bright color scheme, graphics, and furniture, which provide the students with a positive and energetic experience as they progress through their education and strive to attain their future success.

现有的外墙采用了一种新的、高性能的雨幕技术，极大地改善了建筑围护结构的热性能和设施的整体健康。这种皮肤不仅增加了建筑物的可持续性，而且它的绿色和铜色的外观象征着一个社区和社区的转变和进步。这一象征意义完全符合国际移民协会的使命：“通过教育、培训和就业，促进充分参与不断变化的美国社会，同时维护文化特性和尊严，为拉丁裔移民及其家庭的充分发展作出贡献”。

The existing exterior brick walls have been clad in a new, high performance rain screen technology, that has dramatically improved the thermal performance of the building envelope and the overall health of the facility. This skin not only has increased the sustainability of the building, but its green and copper, color‐shifting facade symbolizes the transformation and progress of a neighborhood and community. Thissymbolism could not be more in accordance with IDPL’s mission: “To contribute to the fullest development of Latino immigrants and their families through education, training, and employment that fosters full participation in the changing United States society while preserving cultural identity and dignity.”

这个设施代表了一个社区，一个完全废弃的建筑的象征性转变。它延续了皮尔森社区的IDPL传统，为他们的拉丁裔传统和美国未来建立了身份和骄傲。

This facility represents the emblematic transformation of a neighborhood, a community, an all‐but abandoned building. It continues the heritage of IDPL in the Pilsen neighborhood in building an identity and pride for their Latino traditions and their American future.
