架构师提供的文本描述。最初的1923年天然石灰石图书馆与格林学院的北缘接壤。它1960年的附件是一座整体建筑,框架采用浇铸混凝土柱,面向科学大楼,并沿校园北缘停放。2011年初,基础设施问题使该建筑无法居住。这一不幸事件为重新审视学院的作用提供了机会。

Text description provided by the architects. The original 1923 natural limestone library borders the College Green’s northern edge. Its 1960’s Annex is a monolithic building framed with cast in place concrete columns that faces the science building and parking along the north edge of campus. In early 2011 infrastructure problems rendered the building uninhabitable. The unfortunate event provided an opportunity to revisit its role for the College.

在我们的总体规划结束时,学院选择广泛地恢复1923年的图书馆。该附件被夷为平地,以建立一个新的14,473个GSF学习共享,这是尊重历史性的学术四重奏。一个多功能的学生户外广场,有圆形剧场座位,扩大了教育和社会活动。图书馆已成为校园新的智力核心和核心。

At the conclusion of our Master Planning, the College chose to extensively restore the 1923 Library. The Annex was razed to build a new 14,473 gsf Learning Commons that is respectful of the historic Academic Quad. A multipurpose student outdoor plaza with amphitheater seating extends educational and social activities. The library had become the new intellectual core and heart of campus.

新结构不是模仿旧的形式风格,而是通过建立一个提高老年人意识的观点来连接现有的建筑。它的体积简单干净,在历史空间和现代空间之间取得了平衡,同时对建筑的规模和特色给予了更多的关注。玻璃和闪闪发光的石材的膨胀墙符合1923年建筑的节奏和规模,提供了活动的平衡,但作为学习和反思的场所。新的威廉姆森石灰石是在当地开采的,导致校园内没有浪费。该采石场切割了155吨石材,并将其用于手工铺石,以匹配的模式、规模和迫击炮形状铺设石材。

Rather than imitating the old stylistically of form, the new structure engages the existing building by establishing a point of view that heightens the awareness of the old. The volume is simple and clean, creating a balance between the historic and contemporary spaces while additional attention was given to the scale and specialty qualities of the building.  The expansive walls of glazing and gleaming stone adhere to the rhythm and scale of the 1923 structure and provides a balance of activity yet functions as a place for learning and reflection. The new Williamson Limestone was quarried locally, resulting in zero waste to be removed from the campus. 155 tons were cut and faced at the quarry for use in hand laying stone in a matching pattern, scale and mortar profile.

学习共用楼层被用来在公共空间中获得更高的空间,获得了巨大的氛围。新的学习共用的底层比1923年的图书馆低30英寸。这一数量的增加支持了演讲和社交聚会的公共空间。这一设计战略使一楼与原来的图书馆保持一致。楼上高24英寸,以达到更高的天花板为艺术画廊和开放的研究领域。

The Learning Commons floors were manipulated to get higher spaces in the Commons, achieving a voluminous aura to the addition.  The new Learning Commons’ ground floor was sited 30 inches lower than the 1923 Library. This increased volume supports the public spaces for lectures and social gatherings. This design strategy aligned the first floor with the original Library. The upper floor is 24 inches higher to achieve a higher ceiling for the Art Gallery and open study areas.

内部装饰和照明引入了一个新的颜色托盘一致的两栋楼,以使两者编织成一个结构。该设计还允许该建筑作为学生触地点使用。“第三空间”在整个建筑中被创造出来,用于自我智力的探索或社会化。

The interior finishes and lighting introduced a new color pallet consistent throughout both buildings in order to knit both into one structure. The design also allows the building to be utilized as a student touch down point. “Third Spaces” were created throughout the building for self-intellectual exploration or socialization.

原来的停车场和校园道路被拆除,以合并新的学习共用广场和公地。新的途径现在连接图书馆和其他学术建筑,创造了一个新的充满活力的学术四边形。新广场设有圆形剧场座位,可供更广泛的学术和社交活动使用。

The original parking area and campus roads were removed to incorporate the new Learning Commons Plaza and Commons. New pathways now connect the Library to the other academic buildings, creating a new vibrant academic quad. The new Plaza has amphitheater seating for extended academic and social functions.

The building is now an energetic interactive environment that supports the College’s new pedagogy. Amenities include: The new Library provides a Commuter Lounge, Academic Support Center, study rooms, Smart classrooms, an art gallery, a Cafe, lounge and a community gathering/lecture area.
