由Stanton Williams设计的Marshgate是一座面积达35,000平方米的先进学术建筑，已在伦敦伊丽莎白女王奥林匹克公园内的UCL东校区核心位置落成。

Stanton Williams designed Marshgate, a 35,000sqm state-of-the-art academic building, has completed at the forefront of the UCL East campus, in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Marshgate旨在打造一个协作性与跨学科融合的教育环境，汇聚新东伦敦校区多个学院的共享知识与专业经验，探索应对当今社会、环境与技术领域重大挑战的解决方案。

Marshgate is designed to create a collaborative and cross-disciplinary educational environment focused on finding solutions to today's biggest social, environmental and technological challenges, drawing on the shared knowledge and expertise of the many faculties that will converge at the new east London campus.

这一标志性项目是UCL最大的单体建筑，共设八层开放且灵活可变的教学、研究与协作空间，涵盖从创意产业、工程、机器人技术、绿色科技到全球健康等多个领域，促进全新的互联工作模式，以及全新的研究方向与学科领域的形成。该建筑树立了一种新型大学校园的标准，旨在打破学科壁垒，推动跨学科学习、思考与研究，将学生、学者与公众汇聚于此。

The landmark scheme, UCL's largest single building, offers eight floors of open and adaptable teaching, research and collaboration spaces, for fields ranging from the creative industries to engineering, robotics, green technologies and global health - inviting new and interconnected modes of working, and entirely new research avenues and disciplines to emerge. Setting the standard for a new type of university campus, the building is designed to break down siloes and promote cross-disciplinary learning, thinking and research, bringing together students, academics, and the public.

不同于当下倾向采用玻璃化、轻质幕墙立面的趋势，Marshgate以建筑的坚实感与持久性回应UCL最初位于布卢姆茨伯里的校园建筑。建筑体量也呼应场地的工业历史，借鉴了历史上曾分布于周边利河谷地区的建筑形态，同时回应当代邻近奥林匹克建筑大胆的雕塑化形式。建筑立面由现场浇筑混凝土与预制混凝土板组成，通过细腻渐变的色调与质感呈现层次变化；低层采用木板纹理混凝土，上部楼层则通过塑造形态优化自然采光与通风效果。

In a departure from the trend towards glassy, light-weight curtain wall facades, Marshgate is built to echo the solidity and permanence of UCL's original Bloomsbury campus. The massing also speaks to the site's industrial past, referencing the buildings that historically populated the surrounding Lea Valley, while responding to the bold sculptural forms of the contemporary neighbouring Olympic structures. Comprised of in-situ and precast concrete panels in subtly graded tones and textures, the facade features timber board marked concrete on the lower floors and upper levels sculpted to optimise natural daylight and ventilation.

“Marshgate汲取了利河谷地区勤勉与创造力的历史遗产，并回应伊丽莎白女王奥林匹克公园独特的文化与景观环境，将成为一个充满探索、学习与协作精神的场所。它将与周边城市建立联系，创造一种全新的大学体验，在恒久感与设计预留的灵活性之间取得平衡，既促进学术实践的发展，也拥抱其快速演变的特征。”

“Marshgate draws on the legacy of Lea Valley’s industriousness and creativity, and the exceptional cultural and landscape setting of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, to become a place of curiosity, learning and collaboration. A place that engages with the surrounding city to create a new kind of university experience that balances a sense of permanence with a designed-in flexibility that will both facilitate and embrace the rapidly evolving nature of academic practice.”

不同楼层被组织为一系列“社区单元”，每个单元均配备独立的双层高协作空间，用于非正式会议或展览活动。建筑低层包含一系列向公众开放的空间，包括咖啡馆、公共艺术展示以及相关活动，旨在吸引学校、社区组织和公众参与建筑的日常活动，使其成为建筑生活与核心的一部分。

Different floors are clustered into a series of 'neighbourhoods', each with its own double-height collaboration space for informal meetings or exhibitions. The lower levels of the building include a network of publicly accessible spaces, with a cafe, public art displays and activities designed to draw schools, community organisations and the public into the life and heart of the building.

经过重新景观设计的公共空间，为毗邻的河岸区域以及更广阔的伊丽莎白女王奥林匹克公园提供了充满活力且便捷可达的连接界面。

Newly landscaped public realm provides an animated and accessible interface with both the adjacent riverside and wider Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

公共服务设施主要集中于建筑首层，学生、学术及研究空间则分布在中部楼层，而高度专业化的实验室与工作坊主要设置于建筑上层。这一空间配置源于Stanton Williams在RIBA第三阶段结束前开展的使用者需求调研，并在后续阶段由联合室内建筑师Sheppard Robson进一步开展使用者需求沟通。

While public amenities predominantly populate the ground level, student, academic and research spaces are concentrated on the central floors, and highly specialised laboratories and workshops are primarily situated on the building's upper levels. This configuration emerged from end-user briefing carried out by Stanton Williams to the end of RIBA Stage 3, with further end-user briefing sessions carried out by joint interior architect Sheppard Robson in the subsequent stages.

Sheppard Robson在Stanton Williams设计基础上，对内部空间进行优化配置，以满足大学的使用需求，包括凭借其在实验室、工作坊以及多类型工作空间设计方面的专业经验提供支持。

一个位于建筑中心、引入自然光的中庭在垂直方向上串联起建筑内的所有活动，而高度可见的交通流线，包括楼梯与自动扶梯，则进一步创造了偶遇与交流的机会。

A central, day-lit atrium vertically connects all the building's activities, and highly visible circulation routes including stairs and escalators create further opportunities for chance encounters and interaction.

“人类与地球所面临的问题从未如此复杂，也从未如此紧迫。我相信，UCL East校区所带来的更大规模与更丰富空间，将促进不同院系在同一屋檐下共同解决问题，加速推动UCL享誉全球的突破性成果与颠覆性发现。凭借卓越的设计与非凡的设施，Marshgate将成为科研合作与世界领先教育项目的所在地。我相信，这些成果将在本地乃至全球范围内产生深远影响。”

“The issues facing people and the planet have never been more complex or more urgent. I am confident that the increased scale and space that our UCL East campus will give us, where departments and faculties are all coming together to problem-solve under the same roof, will accelerate the breakthroughs and disruptive discoveries that UCL is known for around the world. Marshgate, with its magnificent design and extraordinary facilities, will be home to research collaborations and world-leading programmes of study, that I am confident will impact both locally and globally.”

建筑还配备了制造工作坊、媒体工作室、展览空间、设计工作室、报告厅、图书馆、行政套房，以及用于与当地企业和社区开展协作与交流的空间。

Additional facilities include fabrication workshops, media studios, exhibition areas, design studios, lecture theatres, a library and an executive suite, and spaces for collaboration and engagement with local businesses and communities.

与近期竣工的One Pool Street建筑共同构成UCL East校区总体规划第一阶段成果的Marshgate，标志着UCL成立200年以来最大规模扩建项目的重要完成节点。One Pool Street由Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands设计，包含学术空间与学生宿舍。该项目同时也标志着East Bank整体建设迈入重要阶段。East Bank是一个由伦敦市长支持打造的新文化区，致力于推动创新、创造力与学习发展，未来将包括UAL伦敦时装学院、新建的Sadler’s Wells East剧院，以及BBC Music和V&A East的新基地。

Together with the recently completed One Pool Street building, designed by Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, which comprises both academic spaces and student accommodation, Marshgate marks the completion of the first phase of the UCL East campus masterplan, UCL's biggest expansion in its 200-year history. It also marks a major milestone in the wider creation of East Bank, a new cultural quarter for innovation, creativity and learning supported by the Mayor of London, which will include UAL's London College of Fashion, a new Sadler's Wells East theatre and new bases for BBC Music and V&A East.

Marshgate还位于斯特拉特福SHIFT创新区内。该创新区是一项由UCL及其他主要机构牵头的高度协作计划，旨在连接公共与私营部门、教育机构、当地社区、创新企业以及科技公司，共同探索、测试并展示相关实践方案，以推动城市变得更加安全、健康与可持续。

Marshgate is also situated within Stratford's SHIFT innovation district, a highly collaborative initiative headed up by UCL and other major bodies to bring together the public and private sectors with education, local communities, innovative enterprises, and tech companies to find, test and demonstrate interventions to make cities safer, healthier and more sustainable.

“UCL一直致力于让艺术家参与这一项目的发展过程，无论是在施工阶段还是项目完成后，通过艺术激活我们的空间，并以此欢迎周边居民成为UCL社区的一部分。Marshgate建筑的设计将为UCL及其社区合作伙伴提供机会，创造反映UCL研究成果以及当地议题与兴趣的公共活动和创意项目。我们期待邀请人们走进我们的建筑，亲身体验这些空间与创意项目。”

“UCL has been committed to the involvement of artists in this development, both during construction and on completion, to animate our spaces and in doing so welcome our neighbours to become part of our UCL community. The design of the Marshgate building will give UCL and our community partners opportunities to create public events and creative programmes that reflect on UCL research and local issues and interests. We are looking forward to inviting people into our buildings to experience for themselves our spaces and creative programmes.”

“能够与UCL、整个项目团队以及供应链合作伙伴共同参与这样一座杰出的建筑建设，是一次非常棒的经历。Marshgate的愿景十分独特——它倡导的不仅是学生与学者之间的协作，也包括更广泛公众的参与。与社区保持紧密合作一直是项目实施策略的核心组成部分，以确保我们能够为整个校园创造长期的社会价值。我迫不及待地期待Marshgate开放，并见证所有伟大的想法与创新在这里实现。”

UCL East新校区全面投入使用后，将形成一个由约4,000名学生和700名教职员工组成的社区，并全年向公众提供丰富多样的活动与参与机会。

At capacity, UCL East's new campus will comprise a community of around 4,000 students and 700 staff and offer a range of year-round activities and engagement opportunities for the public.
