古尔德·埃文斯对亚利桑那大学现有法学院建筑群的翻修最初建于1976年，现已改建为法律公地，是詹姆斯·E·罗杰斯法学院和丹尼尔·F·克拉奇奥洛法律图书馆的所在地。尊重和现代化的原始建筑，新的设计努力提高社区意识，并适应学生学习和互动的方式。

Gould Evans renovation of the existing Law School complex at the University of Arizona, originally constructed in 1976, has been transformed into the Law Commons, home to the James E. Rogers College of Law and Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library. Respecting yet modernizing the original architecture, the new design strives to heighten a sense of community and accommodate the way students study and interact today.

该项目包括对学院主楼的地下室和一楼进行“重修”，以及对主楼第二层和附近的演讲厅大楼进行“轻”翻修。一座小教室被拆除，以创造一个更开放和方便的入口、庭院和庭院。该项目的指导原则是“通过加强沟通和协作促进学习”。

The project involved ‘heavy’ renovation of the basement and first floors of the College’s Main Building, and ‘light’ renovation of both the Main Building’s second floor and nearby Lecture Hall Building. A small Classroom Building was demolished in order to create a more open and accessible entry, patio, and courtyard area. The project’s guiding principle was to ‘facilitate learning through enhanced communication and collaboration.’

在修缮法学院的过程中，设计团队将黑暗、低矮、与世隔绝的空间改造成开放的、白天照明的空间。自然光是通过两种主要程序引入建筑物核心的：

In renovating the College of Law, the design team transformed dark, low, insular spaces into open, day lit volumes. Natural light was introduced into the building’s core via two major procedures:

剥去覆盖建筑物正面的现有混凝土面板

PEELING AWAY existing concrete panels that clad the building’s facades

 Shading System

遮阳系统

从建筑和工地的中心拔掉建筑物的元件

新的玻璃和遮阳系统标志着移除和过滤每一层的日光的时刻。由此产生的开放、灵活的空间为居民提供了学习、社交和放松的机会。此外，团队的重点是创建一个“目标”库，其中图书馆边界在视觉和空间上与学生空间、公共区域和参考区域重叠。

New glazing and shade systems mark moments of removal and filter daylight to every floor. The resulting open, flexible spaces offer inhabitants opportunities to study, socialize, and relax in a visually connected, socially accessible environment. Furthermore, the team focused on creating a ‘destination’ library, where library boundaries visually and spatially overlap with student spaces, common areas, and reference zones.

改造的最显著的特点是新的北入口。原来的入口被一座小教学楼遮住了，很黑，很难找到。小组拆除了教学楼，剥去了北面的预制混凝土面板，并在大楼预制混凝土面板的轮廓下安装了遮阳罩，打开了庭院，创造了一个显眼而又受欢迎的入口。一个新的天井允许学生在白天聚集在树冠的阴影下。对于特殊活动，可以打开露台和大厅门口的枢轴门，以创建一个连续的室内-室外房间。

The renovation’s most distinctive feature is the new north entry. Obscured by a small classroom building, the original entrance was dark and difficult to locate. By demolishing the classroom building, peeling away precast concrete panels on the north façade, and installing a shade canopy inspired by the profile of the building’s precast concrete panels, the team opened up the courtyard and created a prominent, welcoming entry. A new patio allows students to congregate under the shade of the canopy during the day. For special events, pivot doors at the threshold of patio and lobby can be opened to create a continuous indoor-outdoor room.

除了从外墙上剥离混凝土面板外，该团队还通过“拔掉”实心屋顶的部分，尽可能使用玻璃隔板，并提高天花板高度，改变了室内。通过重新配置大楼的暖通空调(HVAC)布局，该团队能够将地下室的天花板从8英尺以下提高到10英尺以上。随着一个更优雅的天花板高度，进入自然光，和程序化的元素被推入周边墙壁，由此产生的低层阅览室是开放和轻-一个舒适的地方，学生长时间学习。

In addition to peeling away concrete panels from the façade, the team transformed the interior by “unplugging” portions of solid roof, using glass partitions whenever possible, and raising ceiling heights. By reconfiguring the building’s HVAC distribution, the team was able to raise the basement ceiling from under eight to over ten feet in height. With a more gracious ceiling height, access to natural light, and programmatic elements pushed to perimeter walls, the resultant lower level reading room is open and light - a comfortable place for students to study long hours.
