建筑师提供的文字说明。海狸乡村日学校是波士顿附近6-12年级的独立学校，它以以学生为中心的设计为基础的创新教育。设立了一个新的研究设计设施，以反映学院和学生的抱负，以扩大他们学校的性质。该项目涉及到现有图书馆的转型和创建连接校园的新添加，将新的研发中心置于IT中心。

Text description provided by the architects. Beaver Country Day School is an independent school for grades 6-12 near Boston that boasts an innovative pedagogy based on student-centered design. A new Research + Design facility was commissioned to reflect the ambition of the faculty and students to expand the nature of their school. The project involved the transformation of an existing library and a new addition that created a connected campus, placing the new R+D Center at the heart of it.

在跨越90年的五座建筑中，与相邻楼层的高度相差8英尺，需要一个广泛的坡道系统来连接这些水平。因此，该设计包括一个连接“桥梁”的三层楼，为各种以学生为中心的空间提供赞助：书房、展示空间和休息区。主要考虑因素之一是对Beaver现有库的转换。现存的60年代的混凝土华夫板建筑被战略性地缩减为楼板和结构柱。

Across five structures built over the span of 90 years, there was an 8-foot elevation difference from adjacent floor levels, requiring an extensive ramp system to adjoin the levels. Thus, the design includes a three-story connecting “Bridge” that sponsors a variety of student-centered spaces: study carrels, presentation spaces, and lounge areas. One of the primary considerations was the transformation of Beaver’s existing library. The existing 1960’s era concrete waffle slab building was strategically pared down to the floor slab and structural columns.

这使得建筑向北扩展，有了倾斜的玻璃幕墙，并在现有屋顶上增加了一层新的教室。新的三层结构随后通过一系列双高度空间打开，将所有层次的视觉连接起来，加强了学校开放式协作空间的教学方法。在主要层面，对现有图书馆的传统书库进行了重新思考，并将其扩展到学校的其他地方，提供协作工作空间。这个“研究水平”是一个开放的工作空间，为学生和教师提供最佳的合作或独立工作机会。

This allowed for an expansion of the building to the north with a sloping glass curtain wall as well as a new floor of classrooms added to the existing roof. The new 3-floor structure was then opened through a series of double-height spaces to link all levels visually, reinforcing the school’s pedagogy of open collaborative spaces. At the main level, the traditional stacks of the existing library were rethought and expanded to reach into the rest of the school, providing collaborative workspaces. This “Research Level” is an open workspace that creates optimal opportunities for students and teachers to work together or independently.

在地面上，主要考虑是创建一个灵活的设计实验室。海狸学生使用与经常升级的专业人员不一样的技术。因此，“设计水平”主要是一个开放的车间，有可移动的系统和设备存储，以便根据学生的需要进行最终的重新配置。新的第三层级是为学校增添新的教室空间。每间教室均配备家具和技术，以允许灵活的教学和独立的研究，在主要走廊内具有分支空间。

At the ground level, the main consideration was the creation of a flexible design lab. Beaver students use technology that is no different from that used by professionals with frequent upgrades. As a result, the “Design Level” is primarily an open workshop with movable systems and equipment storage for ultimate reconfiguration based on student needs. The new 3rd-floor level is an addition of new classroom space for the school. Each classroom is equipped with furniture and technology to allow for flexible teaching and independent study with breakout spaces in the main corridor.

Ground Floor Plan

新的封闭庭院是对设计水平的扩展，为学生提供了多种利用空间的途径；提供了新鲜空气的机会；有了工作和实验的室外空间；有了社交场所；有了户外教室；也为学校提供了举办大型活动的场所。四合院在所有四个室内墙壁上都有一个酚醛面板雨幕外墙，把旧的和新的结合在一起。

The newly enclosed courtyard is an expansion of the Design Level that provides students with multiple ways to utilize the space; an opportunity for fresh air, an outdoor space to work and experiment, a spot to socialize, an outdoor classroom, and a place for the school to host large events. The courtyard is wrapped with a phenolic panel rain screen façade on all 4 interior walls, unifying the old and the new.
