康奈尔大学Tata创新中心的设立，是为了将大学丰富资源共享给世界领先的技术型公司。这座七层楼的建筑坐落于纽约罗斯福岛的康奈尔大学Cornell Tech新校区内，并为该校区提供了让创业企业和学术机构融合、分享与交流的场所。

The Tata Innovation Center is designed to leverage the resources of a major university with the world's leading technology-focused companies. The seven-story building supports Cornell Tech's efforts to fuse entrepreneurial and academic ambitions on its new Roosevelt Island campus in New York City.

在这座 21,800 平方米的建筑中，有三分之一的面积用于工作室、实验室、教室、活动空间等教学所需。而较高的楼层则专门服务于以技术为重点的科技公司和初创企业。所有使用者都享有纽约全景天际线，并共享位于建筑中央光线充足的交通空间，以及鼓励社交互动和协作的休息室。

One-third of the 235,000-square-foot building hosts Cornell Tech studios, labs, classrooms, and event spaces, while the upper levels are dedicated to a mix of technology-focused companies and start-ups. All of the occupants share central, light-filled circulation spaces with panoramic skyline views and lounges that encourage social interaction and collaboration.

在建筑的西南侧和东北侧，建筑体量的悬挑为户外社交空间提供了遮蔽，也为底层零售空间和入口露台增添了活力。

Tata创新中心意识到海平面上升和洪水风险增加等环境挑战对建筑的影响，建筑入口地板比百年一遇级洪水线高出 7 英尺，以实现最大的复原能力。虽然建筑物的外部看起来几近透明，但实际上建筑采取了60%的不透明率——这一比例也被认为是可持续设计的“最佳点”。

Anticipating environmental challenges such as rising sea levels and increased flood risk, the Tata Innovation Center is designed for maximum resilience with an entry floor that rises seven feet above the 100-year flood plain. While the building’s exterior appears to be completely transparent, it is 60% opaque and 40% transparent—a ratio considered to be the “sweet spot” for sustainable design.

一个带有 24,000 平方英尺（约2230平方米）太阳能电池板的天篷将建筑的景观屋顶露台遮盖，并定义了它的轮廓，进一步表明了整个校园内对可持续发展的承诺。Tata创新中心被设想为一座水晶般的孵化器，为研究和创新建立起催化环境。

A canopy featuring 24,000 square feet of solar panels shelters the building's landscaped roof terrace and defines its silhouette, further signaling the campus-wide commitment to sustainability. Envisioned as a crystalline incubator, the Tata Innovation Center establishes a catalytic setting for research and innovation.
