加拿大西部最古老的工程学院坐落在温尼伯市南端红河沿岸绿树成荫的校园里。最初的1907年工程楼位于校园四合院外，沿着原来的中心美术长廊，即直接连接校园主入口和行政楼的马西森大道（Chancellor Matheson Boulevard）。在20世纪60年代，长廊被覆盖，影响了原来的规划。

Western Canada’s oldest Engineering Faculty is nestled on a leafy campus along the Red River in Winnipeg’s South-end. The original 1907 Engineering Building was situated off the campus quad and along the original centre Beaux-Arts promenade, Chancellor Matheson Boulevard, which directly connected the main campus entrance and Administration Building. In the 1960s, the promenade was built over, compromising the original planning.

随着时间的推移，FoE通过战略性的扩建和更新而不断发展。2005年，FoE获得了实质性的升级，包括对现有设施的全面翻修、与现有建筑相邻的新中庭，以及面向四方的新教室设施。在2005年的更新之后，FoE只剩下一个扩张的机会。SPEB位于FoE区的西南角，完善了该区块，将其有力地固定在Dafoe路，这是进入校园的新的主要车辆和交通路线，自60年代以来首次为FoE提供了一个突出的新门户。

Over time FoE has grown through strategic infill, expansion, and renewal. In 2005, FoE received substantial upgrades including a complete renovation of existing facilities, a new atrium adjoining existing buildings, and a new classroom facility facing the Quad. Following the 2005 renewal, FoE had only one remaining opportunity for expansion. Located at the southwest corner of the FoE precinct, SPEB completes the block, strongly anchoring it to Dafoe Road, the new primary vehicular and transit route into the campus, providing a prominent new gateway to FoE for the first time since the ’60s.

从程序上讲，SPEB是一个紧凑的实用工具箱，可以容纳各种不同的项目元素。该建筑提出了一个清晰、合理的质量策略，包括一个服务区、流通轴、商店区和学术区，通过实践学习支持职业和技术教育。垂直整合的 “服务区 “容纳了堆叠的机械/电气服务、盥洗室、内务管理、数据室和垂直循环。

Programmatically, SPEB is a compact utility box for a wide range of disparate program elements. The architecture presents a clear, rationalized massing strategy consisting of a Service Block, Circulation Spine, Shop Block, and Academic Block supporting career and technical education through hands-on learning. The vertically integrated ‘Service Block’ houses stacked mechanical/electrical services, washrooms, housekeeping, data rooms, and vertical circulation.

毗邻服务区，主要的 “流通轴 “连接所有楼层，提供通往每个项目区的通道，同时通过全玻璃的末端促进与校园以外的连接。在内部，通过长的、线性的楼层开口提供视觉和声学连接，促进学生/教师的互动。此外，它还通过一个玻璃天桥在二楼提供了连接所有工程建筑的内部循环回路。

Adjacent to the service block, the primary ‘Circulation Spine’ connects all floors providing access to each program block while promoting connection to the campus beyond through fully glazed ends. Internally, visual and acoustic connections are provided through long, linear floor openings, promoting student/faculty interaction. In addition, it provides access to the internal circulation circuit connecting all Engineering buildings at the second floor through a glazed skywalk.

地下一层是本科生学习的地方，有一个两层的采光井，自然地照亮下面的学习，同时提供一个未来的 “灯箱 “展示，就在正门附近。地下一层的其余部分包括生物医学和电气工程实验室。地面层是 “商店区”，内外都被黑色堆积花岗岩砌体所包围。车间大楼有六个项目室，一个喷漆室，一个焊接车间，电动车实验室，底盘，和一个动力测试设施。

The basement level houses the undergraduate study complete with a two-storey lightwell naturally illuminating the study below while providing a future ‘light box’ display at grade, adjacent to the front entrance. The remainder of the basement level contains biomedical and electrical engineering labs. The ground floor holds the ‘Shop Block’, enveloped in a black stack bond granite masonry shell inside and out. The Shop Block houses six project rooms, a paint booth, a welding shop, electric vehicles lab, chassis, and a dyno test facility.

在上面，”学术区 “向达福路倾斜，给人一种强烈的物理存在感，根据一天中的不同时间，”阅读 “不透明或透明。学术区由黑色裂纹玻璃和镶在深黑色铝框内的隔板构成，包括学术办公室、合作项目服务、额外的生物医学和电气工程实验室、会议室、研究生学习和专用研究实验室。

Above, the ‘Academic Block’ cantilevers towards Dafoe Road, imparting a strong physical presence that ‘reads’ opaque or transparent depending on the time of day. Defined by black fritted vision glass and spandrels set within deep black aluminum framing, the Academic Block houses academic offices, co-op program services, additional biomedical and electrical engineering labs, meeting rooms, graduate students’ study, and dedicated research labs.

SPEB的目标是LEED®银奖，主要的可持续发展驱动力是节能和居住者的健康，通过辐射板冷却最大限度地减少夏季太阳辐射，南玻璃最大限度地增加冬季太阳辐射，LED照明和深度日光穿透来实现。此外，75%的建筑和拆除垃圾被转移到垃圾填埋场，10%的材料被回收，饮用水的使用减少了36%。与大学的基线相比，SPEB总共实现了30%的能源节约，在提供一个健康的充满活力的教育和研究空间的同时，最大限度地减少了能源足迹。

Targeting LEED® Silver, SPEB’s primary sustainability drivers are energy conservation and occupant wellness, achieved through radiant-slab cooling minimizing summer solar gains, south glazing maximizing winter solar gains, LED lighting, and deep daylight penetration. Additionally, 75% of construction and demolition waste was diverted from landfills, 10% recycled materials, and 36% reduction in potable water use. Together, SPEB achieved 30% energy savings compared to the University’s baseline, minimizing the energy footprint while providing a healthy vibrant education and research space.
