加州大学欧文分校(University of California，Irvine)要求建筑师们进行一项设计，以捕捉人文教育的复杂、多学科特征-创造一种“不可预见的可能性”的感觉。这座建筑的个性分裂是受雅纳斯的启发，他是神话文学的两面神，对过去和未来都有远见。在建筑的一边，一个深思熟虑的、正式的立面反映了学校的环境，设计与校园的现有建筑相协调。在对面的庭院一侧，建筑表达了一个更有机，自由流动的设计，旨在唤起一种喜悦的感觉。弯曲的，水晶墙上升了四层，呈现了一个现代化的带状玻璃板在四个不同的宽度安装在一个随机的方式。

Design Vision | The University of California, Irvine asked the architects for a design that captured the complex, multi-disciplinary character of a humanities education -- a place to create a “sense of unforeseen possibilities.” The building’s split persona was inspired by Janus, the two-faced god of mythological literature with the gift of vision into both past and future. On one side of the building, a thoughtful, formal façade reflects the school’s context with a design in harmony with the campus’ existing architecture. On the opposing courtyard side, the building expresses a more organic, free-flowing design intended to evoke a sense of delight. The curvy, crystalline wall rises four stories, presenting a modern ribbon of glass panels in four different widths installed in a random manner.

可持续性网关达到52个最低基准点中的57个，以确保美国G.B.C.LEED白金认证。玻璃和金属墙系统跨越建筑的外墙，从地板到天花板，在所有四个层次上，使室内充满阳光，并尽量减少对能源消耗的需求。此外，三层楼高的光井将建筑物向上穿透到天空，向建筑物的心脏注入自然光。利用南加州温和的气候，二楼的户外区域邀请学生们放松和学习。

Sustainability | The Gateway achieved 57 of the 52 minimum benchmark points to ensure U.S.G.B.C. LEED Platinum certification. The glass and metal wall system spans the building façade from floor to ceiling on all four levels, invigorating the interior with daylight and minimizing the need for energy consumption. In addition, three-story light wells penetrate the building upward to the sky, infusing the heart of the building with natural light. Taking advantage of the temperate Southern California climate, outdoor areas on the second floor invite students for relaxation and study.

该机械系统包含100%的外部空气节约器和可变流量风机，以最大限度地提高能源效率。设计团队为定制的空气处理器创造了机械空间，以最大限度地提高所有主要部件的适用性。支持学校努力鼓励学生成为全球公民，这座建筑为学生、建筑师和公众提供了一个鼓舞人心的榜样，以促进设计的可持续性。

The mechanical system incorporates 100% outside air economizers and variable flow fans to maximize energy efficiency. The design team created mechanical spaces for custom-built air handlers to maximize serviceability for all primary components. Supporting the School’s endeavor to encourage global citizenship in its students, the building provides an inspiring example for students, architects and the public for promoting sustainability in design.

具体的可持续战略包括：

Specific sustainable strategies include:

*与UCI高效的中央工厂整合，生产冷水和热水，同时冷藏和储存，供白天使用

• Integration with UCI's efficient central plant to produce chilled water and heated water, while chilling and storing for use during the day

高效汽轮机

• Efficient steam turbines

·超过24项要求的机械和管道系统。只有当人们在场时，才能控制暖通空调和照明系统。

• Mechanical and plumbing systems that exceed Title 24 requirements • Occupancy sensors that control HVAC and lighting systems to draw power only when people are present.

*使用40%的区域材料(不足500英里)，以节省运输费用中的燃料

• Use of 40% regional materials (less than 500 miles) to save on fuel included in shipping costs

·低E玻璃

• Low E glass

提供全面的调试服务，以确保大楼在最佳环境下运行

• Full commissioning service to ensure the building runs on optimal settings

高效使用无机房电梯代替液压电梯

• Efficient use of machine room-less elevators in lieu of hydraulic elevators

·消除厕所的热水需求，以节省取水费用

• Removal of hot water requirements in the lavatories to save on water heating costs
