阿默斯特学院长期以来以其对卓越学术和学生全面发展的重视而广受认可。新建的学生中心与餐饮综合体旨在营造社区归属感，为学生创造更多提升身心健康的机会，从而改善校园生活体验。建筑位于校园中地势较高的历史四方庭院与地势较低的新绿道交汇处，将成为阿默斯特学院的核心空间。学生既可以在往返课堂的途中短暂停留，也可以在此聚会、交往，建立对个人成长至关重要的社会联系。新建筑中的所有空间均通过一条交汇式通道相互连接，形成纵横交织的共享空间网络，将上方庭院与下方绿道、学生中心与餐饮空间，以及校园的旧有部分与新建部分联系起来。

Amherst College has long been recognized for its commitment to academic excellence and the holistic development of its students. The new Student Center & Dining Commons is designed to enhance the student experience by fostering a sense of community and maximizing opportunities to improve well-being. Strategically located at the intersection of the elevated historic quad and lower new greenway, the building will become the heart of Amherst - a place where students can take a short break while commuting between classes, as well as a destination for gathering and developing the social bonds crucial for an individual’s development. All spaces in the new building are connected by a crossroads, a vertical and horizonal network of shared spaces linking the upper quad to the lower greenway, student center to dining, and old to new.

可持续策略

A Sustainable Approach

学生中心与餐饮综合体体现了阿默斯特学院对可持续发展的重视，也是学院朝着2030年实现气候中和目标迈出的重要一步。项目保留并利用了原梅里尔科学中心的混凝土结构，通过对原有下部两层结构的再利用，有效减少了建筑材料的浪费，同时保留了既有结构中蕴含的碳排放。

Reflecting Amherst’s dedication to sustainability, the Student Center & Dining Commons is an important step towards the College’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2030. The project incorporates the existing concrete structure of the former Merrill Science Center; By repurposing the concrete structure of the lower two levels, the project effectively reduces material waste while preserving embodied carbon.

项目在原有结构之上新增两层建筑，采用大规模木结构建造，具体使用来自加拿大的黑云杉木材，这种材料以较低的碳足迹著称。新增木结构逐层退让，使顶层呈现出尺度较小、类似亭阁的建筑形态，以回应校园现有建筑的尺度。宽大的屋檐提供充足的遮阳，降低建筑能耗；屋顶则设置太阳能板，在现场生产可再生能源。

On top of the existing structure, two new floors are constructed using mass-timber, specifically black spruce sourced from Canada which is known for its low carbon footprint. The new timber structure steps back to offer smaller scale, pavilion-like buildings on the top level in response to the scale of the existing campus. Large overhangs provide ample shade to reduce energy consumption while solar panels on the roof generate renewable energy on site.

学生体验

The Student Experience

学生可从绿道一侧的首层进入建筑，也可从庭院一侧的三层入口进入。建筑内部的通道将这两个入口与各层空间连接起来。从庭院方向进入时，访客首先来到开放而亲切的室内大厅，大面积窗户与露台为这里带来充足的自然光线和开阔视野。主休息厅设有一座大型楼梯，既可作为非正式的座席，也为学生之间的社交互动创造了机会。建筑的每一层都围绕学生体验的不同需求进行设计。

Students enter the building on the ground floor from the greenway and the third floor from the quad. An internal passage links the two entries and all levels together. Approaching from the Quad, visitors are welcomed by an open and inviting interior hall, featuring large windows and a terrace. The main lounge incorporates a large stair, providing informal seating and opportunities for social interaction. Each level of the building is designed to support different aspects of the student experience.

首层设有校友酒吧、广播电台和音乐练习室，同时配备灵活的活动与宴会空间，并可直接通向室外露台。二层是整个餐饮空间的核心，设有宽敞的开放式就餐区，可俯瞰绿道；多个供餐区域提供丰富多样、健康的餐饮选择，另设一间多功能室，用于举办活动和学生聚会。三层则引入更为私密且注重互动的空间，包括咖啡馆、游戏区、文化资源中心和一座冬季花园，将绿意引入建筑的核心区域。顶层四层为创造、沉思与身心健康提供空间，包括剧场、跨信仰交流空间，以及适合独处休憩或小组交流的休息区。

The ground floor houses the Alumni Pub, radio station, and music practice rooms, alongside flexible event and banquet spaces that open to outdoor terraces. The second floor serves as the heart of dining with an expansive open seating area overlooking the greenway, multiple serveries to provide varied and healthy food options, and a multipurpose room for events and student gatherings. The third floor introduces more intimate and interactive spaces, including a café, game area, cultural resource centers, and a winter garden, which brings greenery into the building’s core. At the top of the building, the fourth floor offers spaces for creativity, reflection, and well-being, including a theater, interfaith gathering spaces, and lounges designed for quiet retreat or small group interactions.

融入户外环境

Integration of the Outdoors

建筑各处均通过自然采光、取景式视野和天然材料的运用，强化室内空间与景观之间的联系，从而提升空间体验与使用者的身心健康。分布于不同楼层的室外露台延伸了建筑的社交空间，同时提供休憩、放松与冥想的场所，并可眺望附近的霍利奥克山脉。通过整合这些设计元素，建筑营造出连贯统一的空间体验，使学生中心与餐饮综合体成为阿默斯特学院日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。

Throughout the building, natural light, framed views, and the use of natural materials reinforce a connection to the landscape, enhancing both the experience of the space and the well-being of its occupants. Outdoor terraces, positioned at multiple levels, extend social spaces while providing areas for relaxation and meditation and offer views over the nearbye Holyoke range. By integrating these elements, the design supports a cohesive experience, making the Student Center & Dining Commons an essential part of daily life at Amherst College.
