43，000平方米英国“金融时报”。学生中心提出了三个主要的网站目标：响应既定的校园总体计划，为校园提供一个“门户”存在，并为员工和学生创造一个外部聚集空间。校园总体规划的“弧形”

The 43,000 sq. ft. Student Center addresses three primary identified site goals: Response to the established Campus Master Plan, provide a “gateway” presence to the campus, and to create an exterior gathering space for staff and students. The Campus Master Plan’s “Arc & Spine” are the primary campus development organizing elements, and due to its pivotal role in student life, the Student Center is positioned immediately adjacent to the intersection of these two major elements. The Center’s siting also becomes a destination building as seen from the major campus entry point, and announces the campus core. A strong orthogonal building edge is incorporated into the Center to, along with existing buildings, define a central green space, with adjoining outdoor dining located along main pedestrian circulation.

从概念上讲，这座建筑有两个不同的“面孔”-校园入口和校园核心。从校园入口处看，建筑采用传统的砖石砌体来反映现有校园的材料，但被视为经过转角变换的简单平面。砖块的平面从东北向西南旋转，对应于现有的建筑物，以及总体规划的“脊柱”组织。相比之下，建筑的核心部分则采用铝制复合板进行处理，显示出与技术相关的美学效果。表达平面的概念继续以当代入口正面、遮阳屏和金属面板的颜色变化的形式出现，以响应建筑的聚集和规划。校园核心高地的“透明度”或玻璃化程度急剧增加，使人们能够更直观地联系在绿地上发生的事件，以及对建筑物内部的广泛看法。

Conceptually, the building has two differing “faces” – the campus entry and the campus core. From the campus entry side, the building utilizes traditional brick masonry to reflect the materials of the existing campus, but is treated as simple planes that undergo an angular transformation. The planes of brick rotate from the northeast to the southwest, corresponding to the existing buildings, and the Master Plan’s organizing “Spine”. In contrast, the campus core sides of the building are treated with aluminum composite panels suggesting an aesthetic associated with technology. The concept of expressed planes continues in the form of a contemporary entry frontispiece, sun shading screens, and the color change of the metal panels in response to building massing and program. The level of “transparency” or glazing on the campus core elevations increases dramatically and allows for a more visual connection to the events taking place on the green space as well as extensive views to the building’s interior.

在内部，学生中心计划的组织空间，鼓励在整个建筑物和楼层的持续移动，在整个白天和晚上。内饰简单，清爽，并利用策略性放置的颜色改变LED照明引入彩色平面/表面。

Internally, the Student Center program is organized with spaces that encourage continual movement throughout the building and floors over the course of the entire day and into the evening. Interior finishes are simple, crisp, and utilize strategically placed color changing LED lighting to introduce colored planes/surfaces.

一楼的设计是为了容纳最有可能的学生互动，并受益于在年级或接近负荷和服务。这些空间包括餐饮、服务和支持、多用途空间、存储空间和机械空间.主要的双面入口大厅提供一个两层高的空间，可以俯瞰主要活动区，并有一条通往多用途客房的单独循环通道，以方便进行公共活动。两个开放的楼梯，一个毗邻大厅，另一个靠近北大门，提供一个与上层的便捷连接，并鼓励使用代替电梯。

The first floor is designed to accommodate areas that have the highest potential student interaction and benefit from at grade access or proximity to loading and service. These spaces include dining, servery and support, multi-purpose spaces, storage, and mechanical space. The main two-sided entrance lobby provides a two-storied space with views to primary activity zones with a separate circulation path to multipurpose rooms for ease of access for public functions. Two open stairs, one adjacent to the lobby, the other near a supplementary north entrance, offer an expedient connection to the upper level and encourage use in lieu of the elevator.

二楼已经“雕刻”在许多地方，允许多个有利点和俯瞰。地板开口的配置模仿外部信封的旋转几何图形，并提供各种比例的休息室空间。毗邻主大厅，咖啡厅/酒吧为较小的团体和现场音乐提供一个更亲密的晚些时候的场所。沿着上层的边缘流动，俯瞰主要的就餐区，通向一个普通的休息室，有两个专用于校园媒体和学生活动的办公套房的入口。上层的其余部分专门用于一个小的分层剧院/演讲室，横跨一座小的“桥”，这是一间偏僻的全基督教套房，包括其沉思的会议空间。

The second floor has been “carved” away in numerous locations allowing for multiple vantage points and overlooks. The configuration of the floor openings mimic the rotated geometries of the exterior envelope, and provide variously scaled lounge spaces. Adjacent to the main lobby, the Coffeehouse/Bar provides a more intimate, later evening venue for smaller groups and live acoustic music. Circulation along the edge of the upper level, overlooking the main dining area, leads to a common lounge with entrances to the two office suites dedicated to Campus Media and Student Activities. The remainder of the upper floor is devoted to a small tiered theater/lecture room and across a small “bridge”, the remote Ecumenical suite, including its contemplative meeting space.
