Washington State University Everett
华盛顿州立大学埃弗雷特分校是华盛顿州立大学新分校的第一座大楼，大大扩大了北普吉特湾以STEM为重点的高等教育。这座建筑创造了一种强烈、独特的身份，独特地定义了今天的校园，同时为校园的未来确立了建筑语言和规划先例。它所暗示的建筑设计和校园规划暗指街对面埃弗雷特社区学院（EvCC）的视觉和循环原则；WSU Everett的课程桥梁是EvCC提供的两年制学位，使这两个机构能够提供全面的途径WSU学士和研究生学位。WSU Everett美丽、灵活、经LEED黄金认证的高性能空间将在未来几十年丰富该地区的技术走廊。
The Washington State University Everett is the first building of a new WSU branch campus, significantly expanding access to STEM-focused higher education in North Puget Sound. The building creates a strong, distinct identity to singularly define the campus today while establishing the architectural language and planning precedent for the campus’ future. The building design and campus planning it insinuates allude to visual and circulatory tenets of Everett Community College (EvCC), across the street; WSU Everett’s curriculum bridge’s the two-year degrees offered by EvCC, enabling these two institutions to offer a comprehensive path
to WSU bachelors and graduate degrees. WSU Everett’s beautiful, flexible, and LEED-Gold certified high-performance space will enrich the region’s tech corridor for decades to come.
该建筑的形式和方向对场地和现有环境产生了三种截然不同的反应：一是该建筑的西边缘面向繁忙的街区主干道北百老汇，宣告了该建筑对该地区的希望和创新。它建立了一个建筑和材料的先例，为随后的校园建筑提供了参考。第二，南庭院包括一个宽阔的广场，标志着建筑的主要入口，南立面定义了未来中央四合院的新生边缘。第三，北面是一个铺砌的庭院，两侧是工程实验室，为户外学习和活动提供了空间。
The building’s form and orientation create three distinct responses to the site and existing context: One, the building’s west edge fronts the busy neighborhood arterial, North Broadway, declaring the hope and innovation the building signifies for the area. It establishes an architectural and material precedent, references for ensuing campus buildings. Two, the south court includes a broad plaza marking the building’s primary entry, and the southern façade defines the nascent edge of a future central quadrangle. Three, to the north, a paved courtyard, flanked on two sides by engineering labs, provides space for outdoor learning and events.
该建筑的内部循环扩展了校园规模战略。一个四层楼高的中庭，创新论坛大楼的中心形成了一条南北向的内部街道，连接两个主要入口，一个沿着百老汇大道，另一个沿着定义校园四合院第一边缘的立面。该论坛包括关键的学生支持要素，包括多个学生服务“店面”、一个分层的演讲厅、一个媒体丰富的教室和一个学生产业创新和技术转让实验室——顶点工作室。其悬臂式木楼梯采用当地手工制作的区域材料，参考了太平洋西北木材工业的历史，展示了可再生资源和先进制造技术的使用。
The building’s interior circulation extends campus-scaled strategies. A four-story atrium, Innovation Forum—the heart of the building—forms a north-south interior street connecting two primary entry points, one along Broadway Ave. and another along the façade defining the first edge of the campus quadrangle. The Forum includes key student support elements, with multiple “storefronts” for student services, a tiered lecture hall, a media-rich classroom, and Capstone Studio—a lab for student-industry innovation and technology transfer. Its cantilevered wood staircase, handcrafted locally of regional materials, references the storied history of the Pacific Northwest timber industry and demonstrates the use of renewable resources and advanced manufacturing technologies.
论坛东侧的典型楼层包括教室、工程实验室和学生研讨会室。通过模块设计建筑优化了实验室规划和教学空间的灵活性和适应性。在论坛的西面，教师办公室和会议室围绕着一个光线充足、活跃的三角形中庭。
A typical floor on the east side of the Forum includes classrooms, engineering labs, and student seminar rooms. Designing the building through modules optimizes lab planning and instructional spaces for flexibility and adaptability. To the Forum’s west, faculty offices and conference rooms surround a well-lighted, active triangular atrium.
LEED Gold WSU Everett的能源性能可作为未来发展的基准。它的热包层超过了州能源标准10%，并且一个低能VRF系统为教室和教员的机翼提供了条件。机械操作的窗户和百叶窗自然地为论坛通风。在冬季的几个月里，论坛的循环辐射地板重复使用从建筑数据中心收集的热能。一个75千瓦的屋顶光伏阵列，一个引人注目的建筑檐口，悬挑在南立面之外。在Capstone工作室下方，一个20000加仑的蓄水池可收集雨水，满足9月至6月100%的厕所和小便器冲洗需求，同时将多余的水转移到现场灌溉。
The LEED-Gold WSU Everett’s energy performance serves as a future-development baseline. Its thermal envelope exceeds State energy code standards by 10%, and a low-energy VRF system conditions classroom and faculty wings. Mechanically operable windows and louvers naturally ventilate the Forum. During winter months, the Forum’s hydronic radiant floor reuses heat energy harvested from the building data center. A 75 kW array of rooftop photovoltaics, a dramatic building cornice, cantilevers beyond the south façade. Below the Capstone Studio, a 20,000-gallon cistern captures rainwater, meeting 100% of toilet and urinal flushing demand from September to June while diverting surplus to site irrigation.
WSU Everett——一个由学习者、教育者和行业合作伙伴组成的联盟的新家园，创造了一个强大、独特的身份，为未来全面发展的校园开创了先例。
The WSU Everett—a new home for a coalition of learners, educators, and industry partners—creates a strong, distinct identity, setting the precedent for a future, fully-developed campus.
