架构师提供的文本描述。约翰·杰伊刑事司法学院剪彩仪式，由奥温斯·斯基德莫尔设计

Text description provided by the architects. The ribbon cutting ceremony for John Jay College of Criminal Justice, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), just took place early this month. Located in New York on 11th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets, the College’s new 625,000-square-foot building provides all the functions of a traditional college campus within the confines of a single city block and doubles the size of John Jay’s existing facilities by adding classrooms, laboratories, auditoriums, faculty offices, and student lounges. More images and project description after the break.

新大楼满足了学院对教学和社会空间的需求，并为学院创造了统一的学术存在。SOM的设计合伙人MustafaK.Abadan解释说：“我们为约翰·杰伊学院设计了一座建筑，它基本上能满足整个校园在一栋大楼内的需求。”“随着我们的社会梯级和屋顶露台，学生们现在将有更多的机会，互动和偶遇是非常重要的教育。”

The new building addresses the College’s need for instructional and social spaces and creates a unified academic presence for the institution. “We designed a building for John Jay College that essentially accommodates the needs of an entire campus within a single building,” explains Mustafa K. Abadan, FAIA, Design Partner at SOM. “With our social cascade and rooftop terrace, the students will now have more opportunities for the interaction and chance encounters that are so essential to education.”

约翰·杰伊刑事司法学院，自1964年起成为纽约城市大学的一部分，每年教育1.5万名学生，学习应急、法医心理学和网络安全。在新大楼建成之前，约翰·杰伊学院主要位于20世纪初期的哈伦大厅，一座面向第10大道的大楼，另一座位于西59街的旧鞋厂北厅。这所学院在一段时间内一直在稳步扩张，在纽约9·11恐怖袭击之后，招生人数急剧增加，以至于学校的规模远远超过了学校的设施。这座新建筑是约翰·杰伊(JohnJay)转变为纽约城市大学(City University Of New York System)高级学院的关键组成部分，也是该学院继续致力于“为正义而教育”的表现。

John Jay College of Criminal Justice, part of the City University of New York since 1964, educates 15,000 students annually in emergency response, forensic psychology, and cyber security. Before the construction of the new building, John Jay College was primarily located in Haaren Hall, an early 20th century building fronting 10th Avenue and North Hall, a former shoe factory on West 59th Street. The college had been steadily expanding for some time and, after the September 11th attacks on New York, enrollment increased dramatically to the point where the school outgrew its facilities. The new building is a critical component of John Jay’s transformation into a senior college of The City University of New York system and is an expression of the College’s continued commitment to “educating for justice.”

新大楼由一个四层，500英尺长的讲台和14层的塔楼组成.领奖台，提供与哈伦厅的连接，包含密集的社会和学术活动，顶部是一个65，000平方英尺的景观露台，将作为校园公共设施。这座塔被称为“立方体”，由教职员办公室、学术小组、会议中心和教学实验室组成。新建筑的规模与其毗邻的第11大道建筑相似，并为西侧高速公路的学院提供了强大的视觉效果。

The new building consists of a four-story, 500-foot long podium and 14-story tower. The podium, which provides connections to Haaren Hall, contains dense social and academic programs and is topped by a 65,000-square-foot landscaped terrace that will act as a campus commons. The tower, known as “the cube,” contains faculty offices, academic quads, a conference center, and instructional laboratories. The scale of the new building is similar to its adjacent buildings along 11th Avenue and provides a strong visual presence for the College from the West Side Highway.
