为了体现韦德学院努力向其创业硕士学生传授的价值观、创造力和可持续性，Lovell Chen在奥蒙德学院的新教学楼呈现出一系列的对比。
Designed to embody the values the Wade Institute strives to impart to its students of the Masters of Entrepreneurship, creativity, and sustainability, Lovell Chen’s new teaching building in the grounds of Ormond College presents a series of contrasts.
它既严肃又喜庆，既是花园亭子又是大学回廊，结构上创新但形式上简单。该建筑结合了非常规的教学空间和屋顶网球场，采用了Passivhaus方法，具有灵活性，并对其所在地的复杂建筑环境做出了一致的设计反应。
By turns it is serious and celebratory, garden pavilion and university cloister, structurally innovative yet simple in form. The building combines unconventional teaching spaces with a roof-top tennis court, a Passivhaus approach, flexibility, and coherent design response to the complex architectural context of its site.
这座L型教学楼建在一个停车场和一个网球场的基础上，面向学院新月，提供两个主要的工作空间，包括办公室和辅助房间，都在一个楼层。它所取代的一个网球场已经被 “抬起”，在两块巨大的裸露的混凝土板之间创造了可用的空间–建筑的屋顶和地板。
Built on the footprint of a car park and a tennis court, fronting College Crescent, the L-shaped teaching building provides two main working spaces, with offices and ancillary rooms, all on one level. One of the tennis courts it replaces has been ‘lifted’, creating usable space between two massive exposed concrete slabs — the roof and floor of the building.
这两块板都很平缓地倾斜，收集来自球场的雨水。上层楼板似乎违背了地心引力，由建筑内看似太轻的钢网柱支撑，并在其周边由更多的网柱与地面连接起来。全高玻璃环绕着教学空间，使建筑变得透明。内部是一个令人惊讶的宁静和充满活力的可能性的组合。
Both slabs slope gently, gathering rainwater from the court. The upper slab seems to defy gravity, supported on seemingly too-light steel mesh columns inside the building, and tied to the ground at its perimeter by further mesh columns. Full height glazing surrounds the teaching spaces, making the building transparent. Inside is a surprising combination of tranquility and energized possibility.
