「新一代」綠色節能的科研＋辦公建築

設計 03-17

華盛頓大學最近在其西雅圖校區開設了生命科學的新門戶，為新一代科研，教學和公共拓展創建了一座最先進的建築。

由Perkins Will設計的生命科學樓，其形象極富創新力和可持續性，包括一個20,000平方英尺的溫室，為生物學創造了一個新的核心亮點。該學院全校本科生主修人數最多的專業，培養的STEM人才數量超過全州任何其他的學科計劃。

Text description provided by the architects. The University of Washington recently opened the new gateway to the life sciences on its Seattle campus with a state-of-the-art building created for the next generation of research, teaching, and public outreach. Designed by global architecture and design firm Perkins Will, the highly innovative and sustainable Life Sciences Building (LSB), including a 20,000 square-foot greenhouse, creates a new centerpiece for UW Biology. Home to the largest undergraduate major on campus, UW Biology educates more STEM students than any other program in the state.

「Perkins Will設計的生命科學樓將幫助我們實現華盛頓大學生物學院的未來發展願景，」華盛頓大學文理學院副院長Steve Majeski表示。「它不僅是一棟建築，它為踐行創新協作型尖端科研活動提供了設施與架構，並成為學生探索發現的樞紐，通過為學生、教師及員工創造溝通協作空間來轉變我們教育新一代科學家人才的方式。」

「Perkins Will』s design of the Life Sciences Building will help us achieve our vision for the future of biology at the UW,」 said Steve Majeski, associate dean with the College of Arts and Sciences at the UW. 「Much more than a building, the LSB provides the facilities and structure to enable innovative and collaborative cutting-edge research and act as a hub for student discovery, transforming the way we teach the next generation of scientists with spaces for collaboration among students, faculty, and staff.」

專為以團隊為中心的協作而設計，辦公室，實驗室和通用空間彼此鄰近。開放靈活的模塊化科研教學領域旨在能夠適應需要新方法和新工具的新科研問題。為了增加偶遇機會，內部樓梯設有大型平台；庭院設有層疊樓梯和木凳，以及一個帶座椅的屋頂露台，毗鄰咖啡廳。

Designed for team-focused collaboration, offices, laboratories, and common-use spaces are placed in close proximity to each other. Open, modular and flexible research and teaching areas are designed to be able to adapt to emerging research questions that require novel methods and new instruments. To encourage impromptu encounters, the interior features a suspended staircase with oversized landing areas; the exterior features a courtyard with cascading stairs and reclaimed wood benches along with a rooftop deck with seating adjacent to a cafe.

「生物學運用綜合方式來了解自然界，」Devin Kleiner表示。「受到這種理念的啟發，該設計將自然元素與創新永續的設計特徵相結合，並通過自然元素構建視覺焦點。」

「Biology takes an integrative approach to understand the natural world,」 said Devin Kleiner, project architect and senior associate with Perkins Will. 「Inspired by that philosophy, the design combines elements of nature as the visual focal points with innovative and sustainable design features.」

設計中最獨特的元素之一是電梯核心筒，由約60米高的花旗松經過量身加工的板材覆面而成的。設計模仿樹木在森林裡的天然狀態，首層的寬大樹樁隨著樓層的上升而逐漸變細變窄。來自奧林匹克半島的九棵樹由利奧波德·弗里曼林業公司捐贈，意在回應《拯救塔波溪》一書中談及的斯科特與蘇珊·弗里曼夫婦發起的流域修復治理行動。

One of the design』s most unique elements is the elevator core, wrapped in custom-milled slabs from 200-foot Douglas fir trees. Designed to mimic the way the trees appeared in the woods, the wide base of the trees on the first floor progressively narrows and tapers as it rises to the floors above. The nine trees from a forest in the Olympic Peninsula were donated by Leopold-Freeman Forests, LLC, as part of Scott and Susan Freeman』s watershed restoration efforts described in the book Saving Tarboo Creek.

該建築獲得了LEED金級認證，創新的可持續設計是UW Solar的學生群體與設計團隊合作完成的，他們幫助分析功能，申請補貼及彙報演示等。該項目在其外部安裝了同類首批豎向玻璃肋板太陽能光伏裝置，預計由此生成的電能足以滿足12,400平方英尺以上辦公樓的全年照明需求。其他可持續性功能包括用於自然通風冷卻的可移動窗戶，冷梁空調，用於溫室灌溉的水回收系統，輻射地板和屋頂太陽能板。學生和訪客既能了解到建築內部開展的科研活動，還能通過一層的觸摸顯示屏實時了解建築本身消耗水電能源的情況。

Tracking to LEED Gold, the building』s highly innovative sustainable design was a result of a unique collaboration between designers and students from UW Solar, who helped analyze features, write grants, and give presentations. LSB boasts the first-of-its-kind installation of vertical glass solar fins on its exterior, one that is anticipated to generate enough electricity to light more than 12,400 square feet of offices throughout the year. Other sustainable features include operable windows for natural ventilation cooling, chilled beams and waves, a water reclamation system for greenhouse irrigation, radiant floors and rooftop solar panels. Students and visitors can learn about the research conducted within the building as well as real-time information about the building』s energy and water usage from a touchscreen dashboard on the first floor.

該建築毗鄰該市最大的通勤線路伯克吉爾曼軌道，提供一系列公共配套設施，包括通往溫室的通道，擁有3,400種植物；西雅圖藝術家Claude Zervas創作的90英尺長的藝術牆；公共自行車位，咖啡廳及室內外座椅。

In close proximity to the city』s largest commuter trail, the Burke Gilman, LSB offers a range of public amenities, including eventual access to the greenhouse with 3,400 species of plants, the largest teaching collection in the state; a 90-foot-long art wall by Seattle artist Claude Zervas; public bike racks, a café and indoor/outdoor seating.
