架构师提供的文本描述。安舒茨公寓楼是7英亩的格兰兰乡村日校园的一部分，这是一所建于1924年的私立K-8教育机构。Anschutz公寓楼位于校园的中心地带，它真正体现了雅克·本尼迪克特建立的建筑准则，重申了校园的强大设计统一性。新的15，000平方英尺最先进的建筑预计将获得LEED黄金认证.

Text description provided by the architects. The Anschutz Commons building is part of the 7-acre Graland Country Day School Campus, a private K-8 educational institution established in 1924. Anschutz Commons is located at the heart of the campus – that truly engages the architectural guidelines established by Jacques Benedict reaffirming the strong design unity on the campus. The new 15,000 square foot state-of-the-art building is anticipated to earn a LEED Gold certification.

学校建立一个新的餐饮/学生共享空间的激励因素是由提供更好的营养膳食的愿望和向学生传授健康选择的环境所驱动的。另一个因素是容量-新的建设提高了多达650名学生的能力，这允许更多的教学时间块和更顺利的过渡给年轻的学生。

The school’s motivating factors for a new dining/student commons space were driven by the desire to provide improved nutritional meals and a setting to teach students about healthy choices. Another factor was capacity – the new building improves capacity up to 650 students which allows for larger blocks of instructional time and smoother transitions for younger students.

格兰兰乡村日校最初位于丹佛农村。它的创始人最初对学校的概念是“乡村日校，有充足的开放空间，阳光和新鲜空气。”这座城市已经发展到了原址的边缘。校园有许多美观宜人的开放空间，作为身体和视觉上的休息，从原本繁忙的校园。各学科、各年级的教师在课堂上经常带学生到户外，在校园建筑之间搭建起对学生生活质量至关重要的游乐空间和休憩空间。

Graland Country Day School was originally located in the Denver countryside. Its founders' original concept for the school was a "country day school with plenty of open space, sunshine and fresh air." The city has grown to the edges of the original site. The campus has many aesthetically pleasing open spaces that serve as physical and visual respite from the otherwise busy campus. Teachers from all disciplines and grades frequently bring their students outdoors during classes making the play spaces and the open spaces between the buildings critical to the quality of student life on campus.

建筑师非常注意保持校园的现有特征和室外空间的质量，同时特别注意减少新的两层建筑的整体聚集量。较高结构的影响可通过将较低层刻入工地而最小化，并将天花板/地板结构深度降至最低。其结果是，新的Anschutz公寓楼紧靠着更大的体育馆大楼，轻轻地勾勒出校园和花园的景观。

The architect took great care to maintain the existing character of the campus and the quality of the outdoor space while special attention was given to reducing the overall massing of the new two-story building. The impact of taller structures is minimized by carving the lower level into the site; and minimizing the ceiling/floor structural depth. As a result, the new Anschutz Commons nestles in against the larger gymnasium building and gently frames views of the campus and gardens.

该小组还能够在新建筑中设计出具体而灵活的空间，以便为尽可能多的人口提供服务，无论是外部社区还是学校社区。餐厅空间可以容纳演讲、舞蹈、招待会以及每天用于课堂活动的自助餐厅。南面的玻璃立面为餐厅提供了充足的自然光线；朝露台开放，这将使学校能够举行更大的活动和学生聚会。自然日光也是建筑物较低层的一个关键目标-团队确保教室不是在“地牢”式的地下室环境中。在西侧650平方英尺的教室中，每间教室都能看到运动场的景色，而东部的教室则有一条可以在一天内过滤自然日光的明渠。

The team was also able to design specific yet flexible spaces in the new building to serve the largest population possible, whether that is the outside community or the school community. The dining hall space can accommodate presentations, dances, receptions as well as the cafeteria set up that it is used daily for classroom activities. The south facing glass façade provides an abundance of natural daylight into the dining hall; opening towards the patio it will allow the school to hold larger functions and student gatherings. The natural daylight was a key goal for the lower level of the building as well – the team made sure the classrooms were not in a “dungeon” basement type of environment. Each of the 650 square foot classrooms on the west side have been provided with views towards the playing field while the east classrooms have a lightwell that filters natural daylight throughout the day.

该小组面临的主要挑战之一是预算。项目组努力工作，在固定成本范围内负责任和可持续地进行设计。该项目和成本经过评估过程得到了改进，以最佳价格获得最佳解决方案，同时响应于格兰兰校园的美学，并对捐助方负责。衡量成本与可持续决策的一个例子是，重新使用新公共大楼现有建筑的屋顶瓷砖。

One of the major challenges the team faced was budget. The project team worked diligently to design responsibly and sustainably within a fixed cost. The project and cost were refined over an evaluation process to achieve the best solution for the best price while being responsive to the Graland campus aesthetic and responsible to the donors. One example of weighing cost versus a sustainable decision was to re-use the roof tiles from the existing building on the new Commons building.
