Designed by Zimmerman Architectural Studios of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Sheboygan Police Station is a municipal facility that was awarded an AIA Wisconsin Merit Award in 2011.  Perhaps the most signature element of the architectural scheme would be the blue glow that emanates from the structure — a revered and feared image standing as a symbol for law and order in the community. According to the architect, the 30,000sf police station was design to identify programmatic redundancies and deliver optimal flexible space without compromising the functional aspects of their service.  In doing so, the plan was organized around a primary circulation spine, which allows the different police divisions to share common space and circulation while maintaining a necessary sense of interdepartmental privacy.

位于美国威斯康辛州，由Zimmerman建筑事务所设计，这所希博伊根警察局在2011作为政府项目获得了2011美国建筑师协会威斯康辛的最有价值奖。或许该建筑设计最显著的特点是从结构中散发出的蓝色的光线----它是一种在社会中象征着法律和秩序的崇敬、威严的图像。据建筑师描述，这个30000平方英尺的警察局在设计中识别了方案的冗余，传达了一种最佳的灵动空间，而又不会影响其服务功能方面的设计。通过这样，平面沿着一根主要的流线轴布置，使得警察局不同部门在维持各自隐私的同时，可以共享公共空间和公共流线。

Floor Plan

一层平面

The public lobby and the fleet garage serve as the anchors of this east-west circulation spine with the various programs found between them and accessible via the corridor.  By locating the departmental divisions on the southern and northern periphery of the structure, nearly 95% of occupied spaces within the station enjoy natural daylighting (reducing electrical loads and providing necessary stress relief to the office workers).

轴线的东西两端分别是公共大厅和车队车库，轴线间是各种功能用房，通过这条公共的轴线（走廊）可以进入各个区域。设计中把功能区都布置在建筑的南北两面，所以警察局内将近95%的空间都能享受自然光（减少了电能的同时也给办公人员减轻压力）

Perimeter offices are designed in accordance with the Energy Center of Wisconsin’s Cool Day lighting program in order to reduce energy demand.  This natural lighting strategy provides glare-free and comfortable lighting levels by balancing light entering through continuous transom openings at the ceiling with carefully placed vision glass. The placement of vertical windows caters to security issues for the police with equal parts privacy and views and develops a regular rhythm on the exterior façade.

沿着建筑周边的办公室，在设计中都符合Wisconsin能源中心的日照规范，以减少能耗。这项自然采光策略通过平衡光线给室内提供了舒服的光线，光线是经过天花板上的连续横窗进入室内，窗户中的玻璃都是仔细安装过得。竖窗的安装是为了满足警察局安全的需要，保障平等区的隐私和视线和在外立面上形成一种韵律。

The exterior of the police station is clad in a monolithic burnished concrete block intended to convey a sense of stability and security. The upper walls are clad in a silver metal panel in contrast to the dark gray deep ribbed metal panel accenting two projecting bays that define an external division between the public and internal functions of the police department.

警察局的外观覆盖着整体抛光混凝土块，来传达一种稳定和安全的感觉。上部的墙体覆盖着银白色的金属板，和深灰色条纹金属板形成对比，条纹金属板强调了项目中2个凸出去的部位，这些部位是公共区域和内部办公区之间在外部的界限。
