随着STEM和健康职业管道的不断增长，高等教育机构正在以动态的跨学科研究设施作出回应，不仅为学生准备未来的机会，而且作为协作和参与当前的枢纽。
As STEM and health career pipelines continue to grow, higher education institutions are responding with dynamic facilities for interdisciplinary study that not only prepare students for future opportunities but serve as hubs for collaboration and engagement in the present.
普渡大学西北分校68000平方英尺的Nils K. Nelson生物科学创新大楼（BIB）是处于这一趋势前沿的建筑，它联合了学校的护理学院和生物系，将跨学科的技能实验室与公共空间相邻，使所有学生都能体验到创新文化。
Purdue University Northwest’s 68,000-sqft Nils K. Nelson Bioscience Innovations Building (BIB) is a building at the leading edge of this trend, uniting the school’s College of Nursing and Department of Biology, incorporating cross-disciplinary skills labs adjacent to public spaces so all students can experience the innovative culture.
建筑围绕着一个三层楼的大厅和一个宏伟的楼梯，将人和空间编织在一起。每一间面向中央楼梯间和大厅的教室和研究实验室都有一面玻璃墙，实现视觉上的连接。护理专业的学生在高大上的人体模型上进行 “展示”，研究人员在路人的注视下进行实验室工作。
The building is organized around a three-story lobby and a grand staircase that weaves people and space together. Every classroom and research lab that faces the central stairwell and lobby has a glass wall for visual connections. Nursing students are “on display” as they work on highly advanced mannequins, and researchers conduct lab work while passersby look on.
“医疗保健是印第安纳州西北部的第二大经济驱动力，”普渡大学西北分校校长Thomas L. Keon说。”普渡西北大学有很多机会通过这座新建筑来影响我们的学生和教师，而这也流向了整个印第安纳州的西北部。” 为了给学生提供真实的生活体验，这栋楼包括整个部分设计成医生办公室、急诊设施和研究实验室的样子，监测站和汇报室就位于隔壁或对面。为了给学生提供更多的社交空间，团队对员工办公室采取了缩小规模的方法，将私人办公室、开放式工作站、微型办公室和相邻的飞地房间结合起来，为各种类型的工作方式提供合适的环境。
“Healthcare is the number two economic driver in northwest Indiana,” said Thomas L. Keon, Chancellor, Purdue University Northwest. “There are many opportunities for Purdue Northwest to impact our students and faculty with this new building, and that flows over to all of northwest Indiana.” To give students true-to-life experiences, the building includes entire sections designed to look like physicians’ offices, acute care facilities, and research labs, with monitoring stations and debriefing rooms situated right next door or across the hall. To provide more social space for students, the team implemented a scaled-down approach to staff offices, featuring a combination of private offices, open workstations, micro-offices, and adjacent enclave rooms—offering right-sized settings for every type of work modality.
关键的可持续发展设计决定–如使用低挥发性有机化合物排放的材料、节能外围护结构和低能耗照明–都深深地印在建筑设计中。通过将日光引入学习和工作空间，以及材料的透明性，让人们看到学术和研究项目的运作，这些决定都得到了加强。循环脊柱结合了连续的小组学习和个人化的低头空间，将建筑嵌入校园设施，让学生、员工和访客在这里停下来思考、交流和停留。该建筑灵活的规划和模块化结构和MEP系统的表达，确保了一个为未来发展做好准备的教育环境。
Key sustainable design decisions—such as utilizing low-VOC emitting materials, energy-efficient exterior envelope, and low-energy use lighting—are engrained in the building design. They are enhanced by an incredible introduction of daylight into learning and workspaces and material transparency giving sight to academic and research programs in action. The circulation spines incorporate a continuous flow of group study and individualized heads-down space, which embeds the building as a campus amenity where students, staff, and visitors pause to think, relate and linger. The building’s agile planning and expression of modular structural and MEP systems ensure an educational environment ready for future growth.
