哥伦比亚大学医学中心全新的、最先进的医学和研究生教育大楼–Roy and Diana Vagelos教育中心，将于2016年8月15日秋季学期开始向师生开放。Vagelos教育中心由总部位于纽约的跨学科设计工作室Diller Scofidio + Renfro设计，并与Gensler合作担任执行建筑师，是一座占地10万平方英尺、14层的玻璃塔楼，融合了技术先进的教室、合作空间和现代化的模拟中心，以反映21世纪的医学教学、学习和实践方式。该设计旨在重塑医学中心校园的外观和感觉，同时也创造了促进现代医学实践所需技能发展的空间。

Columbia University Medical Center’s new, state-of-the-art medical and graduate education building, the Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center, will open to faculty and students on August 15, 2016 for the start of the fall term. Designed by the New York-based interdisciplinary design studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with Gensler as executive architect, the Vagelos Education Center is a 100,000-square-foot, 14-story glass tower that incorporates technologically advanced classrooms, collaboration spaces, and a modern simulation center to reflect how medicine is taught, learned, and practiced in the 21st century. The design seeks to reshape the look and feel of the Medical Center campus, and also create spaces that facilitate the development of skills essential for modern medical practice.

该建筑的命名是为了表彰哥伦比亚大学内科和外科医学院的杰出校友P.Roy Vagelos医学博士和他的妻子Diana Vagelos的慷慨捐赠，她是巴纳德学院的校友，也是巴纳德学院董事会的副主席。Vagelos教育中心的资金来自于许多坚定的朋友、教师和校友捐助者的慷慨解囊。工程于2013年9月开工。

The building is named in recognition of the generosity of an initial lead gift from P. Roy Vagelos, MD, a distinguished alumnus of Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, and his wife, Diana Vagelos, an alumna of Barnard College and the Vice Chair of the Trustees of Barnard College. The Vagelos Education Center was funded through the generosity of many committed friends, faculty and alumni donors. Construction began in September 2013.

除了新的Vagelos教育中心，振兴校园的举措还包括增加绿色空间，创建一个新的医学院门户，整合学生服务，翻新几个现有的建筑，并建设新的空间，包括哥伦比亚护理学院的新家。Vagelos教育中心将有助于定义校园的北部边缘，并为周围的华盛顿高地社区提供桥梁。

In addition to the new Vagelos Education Center, initiatives to revitalize the campus include increasing green space, creating a new gateway to the medical school, consolidating student services, renovating several existing buildings, and constructing new spaces, including the new home for the Columbia School of Nursing. The Vagelos Education Center will help define the northern edge of the campus and provide a bridge to the surrounding Washington Heights community.

“我们的新教育大楼将确保哥伦比亚大学继续培养优秀的医生和研究人员，接受最新技术的教育，因为医学在整个21世纪继续快速发展，”哥伦比亚大学执行副校长兼健康科学和医学学院院长Lee Goldman博士说。”该建筑还将使我们能够将关键活动集中在一个最先进的设施中，这体现了我们为学生提供世界级教学和一流学习环境的承诺。”

“Our new education building will ensure that Columbia continues to train superior doctors and researchers, educated in the latest techniques, as medicine continues to evolve rapidly throughout the 21st century,” said Lee Goldman, MD, Executive Vice President and Dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine at Columbia University. “The building also will allow us to centralize key activities in a state-of-the-art facility that reflects our commitment to providing world-class instruction and a superb learning environment for students.”

关于设计
Vagelos教育中心是一个14层楼高的玻璃、混凝土和钢结构，由一个社交和学习空间网络支撑，该空间沿着一个外露的、相互连接的垂直楼梯分布，该楼梯延伸了建筑的高度，被称为 “学习级联”，包含了10万平方英尺的先进医疗和科学设施。研究级联的凹室内部设计有利于团队协作式的学习和教学，并向南面的户外空间和露台开放。其他设计的主要元素包括
一楼大厅和咖啡馆，毗邻 “学习吧”，可以看到棕榈树的景色。
学生公共空间，设有咖啡馆、电脑工作区和电脑实验室。
先进的临床模拟中心，是模拟检查室、诊所和手术室的专门空间。
多功能礼堂，275个座位的灵活空间，用于举办讲座、放映和音乐会等全校性活动。
“学术街区”，可根据需要配置可操作的隔断、下拉式屏幕和大型多用户触摸屏、吊顶、楼层分布式电源和数据的教室群。
南院和西院，是以当地植物为特色的户外空间。
Anatomy Quad，一个灵活的学习空间，集成了屏幕和任务照明。

About the Design
The Vagelos Education Center is a 14-story glass, concrete, and steel structure anchored by a network of social and study spaces distributed along an exposed, interconnected vertical staircase that extends the height of the building—known as the “Study Cascade”—and encompasses 100,000 square feet of advanced medical and scientific facilities. The alcove interiors of the Study Cascade, designed to be conducive to collaborative, team-based learning and teaching, open onto south-facing outdoor spaces and terraces. Other key elements of the design include:
Ground floor lobby and café, which adjoin a “study bar” with views of the Palisades.
Student Commons, which features a café, computer work area and computer labs.
Advanced clinical simulation center, a specialized space for mock examination rooms, clinics and operating rooms.
Multi-purpose auditorium, a 275-seat flexible space used for campus-wide events such as lectures, screenings and concerts.
“Academic Neighborhoods,” groups of classrooms that can be configured according to need by operable partitions, drop down screens and large-scale multi-user touch screens, suspended ceilings, and distributed power and data at the floor.
South and West Courts, outdoor spaces featuring local plant species.
Anatomy Quad, a flexible learning space with integrated screens and task lighting.

“空间对结构化和非正式学习很重要，”Diller Scofidio + Renfro的创始合伙人Elizabeth Diller说。”为了支持哥伦比亚大学的进步医学教育计划，我们设计了一个能够培养合作的建筑。它的定义特征是学习级联–一个14层楼高的垂直链接空间网络，大小不一，既有集中的也有社交的，既有私人的也有公共的，既有室内的也有室外的。”

“Space matters for structured and informal learning,” said Elizabeth Diller, founding partner at Diller Scofidio + Renfro. “To support Columbia’s progressive medical education program, we designed a building that will nurture collaboration. Its defining feature is the Study Cascade–a 14-story network of vertically linked spaces in a variety of sizes, both focused and social, private and communal, indoors and out.”

“Vagelos教育中心一开始就有一个明确的愿景，即作为一个卓越的高等教育场所，同时也将作为一个急需的社交中心，”Gensler的校长Maddy Burke-Vigeland AIA说。”由于大家的深度参与，它已经变成了甚至超出那些高期望值的东西：哥伦比亚大学医学中心校园的一个充满活力的新中心。”

“The Vagelos Education Center started with a clear vision as a place of excellence for higher learning that would also act as a much needed social center,” said Maddy Burke-Vigeland AIA, Principal at Gensler. “Because of everyone’s deep involvement, it has transformed into something that exceeds even those high expectations: a vibrant new hub for Columbia’s Medical Center campus.”

DS+R的设计充分利用了哈德逊河和帕利塞德的美景。该建筑还整合了一系列可持续发展的功能–包括当地采购的材料、绿色屋顶技术和创新的机械系统，以最大限度地减少能源和水的使用–外立面采用陶瓷 “砂砾 “图案，烤制在外部玻璃上以漫射阳光。所有的新建和改造项目–包括Vagelos教育中心–都在努力实现CUMC的碳足迹最小化的目标，并在2025年之前减少30%的温室气体排放。

DS+R’s design takes advantage of an incredible view of the Hudson River and the Palisades. The building also integrates a range of sustainable features—including locally sourced materials, green roof technologies, and an innovative mechanical system that minimizes energy and water use—and the façade features ceramic “frit” patterns that are baked onto the exterior glass to diffuse sunlight. All new construction and renovation projects—including the Vagelos Education Center—work toward the goal of minimizing CUMC’s carbon footprint and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2025.
