来自建筑事务所的描述：在近十年来，Kenwood多学科研究大楼是威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校的第一座全新的学术建筑，其中包含有专为STEM学科提供的学术研究室，还有为先进应用科学分析化学（Advanced and Applied Analytical Chemistry）而设置的Shimadzu实验室，以及Zilber公共卫生学院的研究场所。建筑独特的场地设计和功能布局让它在校园中大放异彩。

Text description provided by the architects. Representing the UW-Milwaukee campus’ first new academic building in more than a decade, the Kenwood IRC houses academic and research space for STEM disciplines, provides space for the chemistry department including the Shimadzu Laboratory for Advanced and Applied Analytical Chemistry, serves as the new home for the physics department and includes labs for the Zilber School of Public Health. But its presence is being felt throughout the campus because of how it is sited and the way it is being used by so many different students.

威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校在学术研究与交流方面全国领先。学生们可以通过步行从停车场直接来到学术中心，学生组织团体和公寓建筑将会沿着多学科研究大楼的场地而排布，学生们通过一条人行天桥直接穿过North Maryland大道。为了更好地利用周边环境，Flad Architects事务所的建筑师们将一层空间结合室内外进行设计，同时用作行人通道，学生们可以在温暖的季节通过外部凉亭穿过场地，这条道路也将学生联合组织和东面场地连接起来。建筑门厅东西向布局，形成水平向的玻璃通道，在寒冷季节，学生们可以选择从室内通行，同时这也是学生们的日常路径。自从建筑投入使用以来，其门厅已经成为学生们继宿舍、教室之外的首选场所。

UW-Milwaukee is an urban campus that was in need of state-of-the-art space for schoolwork and interaction. Students walking from parking to the heart of the academic center, student union and student housing would traverse an alley along the future IRC site and be funneled across the pedestrian overpass that is one of the few ways to quickly and safely cross North Maryland Avenue. Situating the building and designing it to take best advantage of prevailing conditions, Flad created a ground floor that serves as a pedestrian pathway, indoors and out. A loggia provides a covered walking path during warmer months, and helps efficiently route foot traffic from the student union to the east, through the site and beyond to the rest of the quad. The lobby, which accentuates the linear nature of the corridor’s east-west connection using horizontal channel glass, is the main thoroughfare throughout the colder months, as well as a magnet for students all school year long. Since its opening, the lobby has become a “third place” in students’ daily lives beyond home and the classroom.

从技术上来讲，建筑首层的门厅空间让这座多学科研究大楼变得非同寻常。楼板、照明、通风及其他相关设施的设置都符合生命科学与物理科学等专业的不同需求。例如，凝聚态物理研究所需的低等级核心设施是一种敏感性仪器，用来保护运行设备免受城市交通震动的干扰。一座交流型楼梯连接了三至五层空间，除了作为交通枢纽，学生们还能够在这里进行学术或休闲沟通。

The prominence of the lobby space within the building’s floor plan makes the IRC, technically speaking, an unusual hybrid. Floor slabs, lighting, ventilation and other building systems conform to the separate requirements of labs for the life sciences and physical sciences. For example, a below-grade core facility for condensed matter physics research was designed for sensitive instrumentation to protect equipment operation from the vibrations of passing city traffic. A communicating stair that links the third, fourth and fifth floors is an important connective element; its purpose, besides conveying people, is to offer opportunities for casual conversations and learning outside of formal settings.

建筑外部运用了黄色陶土、清水混凝土和金属面板，这暗示了研究与创新的内部功能。整座建筑呈现出浓郁的动态气息，同时又相对通透，因此学生能够在外部直接感受到通高门厅和楼梯的内部空间，而上部楼层的办公场所和教室则相对封闭一些，让科研者们能够潜心研究。

The exterior expression of yellow terracotta, exposed concrete and metal panels is rendered as an assemblage of components, a metaphor for the research and innovation happening within. Dynamic and transparent, the building offers ample viewsof interior movement in the two-story lobby corridor and communicating stair, in addition to offices and instructional spaces on the upper floors.

这座标志性建筑的屋面为研究者和学生们带来了壮观的视角，让他们可以看到密尔沃基市中心的景色。该建筑让校园的多个区域都保持贯通，同时还是今后校园建设的参照范例。Kenwood多学科研究大楼将成为威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校的全新代表。

An iconic building that offers researchers and students in the upper floors a spectacular view of downtown Milwaukee, the IRC maintains the connection between different areas of campus and creates a fresh palette of color and light as a template for future construction. The IRC has created a new brand for all of scientific research at UW-Milwaukee, and the campus as a whole.
