来自建筑事务所的描述：这座最初由O’Neil Ford在上世纪60年代后期设计的Lamplighter学校拥有丰富的建筑遗产，Ford与学校的创始人携手合作，实现了他们对独特学习环境的改造愿景。该校园的设计以开放的学习空间、与自然的紧密联系以及从原始O'Neil Ford设计方案发展而来的“村庄”构图为特色，建筑反映了学校的教学风格。Frank Welch在上世纪80年代和90年代设计了这所学校的校舍。

Text description provided by the architects. Originally designed by O’Neil Ford in the late 1960’s, The Lamplighter School enjoys a rich architectural heritage. Ford worked hand-in-hand with the school’s founders to realize their vision for a unique learning environment. The campus boasts a design highlighted by open learning spaces, a close relationship with nature, and a “village” composition developed from the original O’Neil Ford plan. The architecture beautifully reflects the school’s teaching and learning styles. Frank Welch designed additions to the school in the 1980’s and 1990’s.







2014年春季，Lamplighter学校选择了Marlon Blackwell Architects（MBA）事务所和Talley Associates（TA）事务所的团队设计独立的创新实验室，对现有建筑物进行翻新和扩建，重新配置道路、校园停车场以及相关的景观设计。作为扩建和翻新项目的核心，约10,000平方英尺（约929平方米）的创新实验室可为该学校的450名学前班至四年级学生提供服务。

In the spring of 2014, The Lamplighter School selected the team of Marlon Blackwell Architects (MBA) and Talley Associates (TA) to provide architectural services for the design of a freestanding Innovation Lab, renovations and additions to the current buildings, an enlarged or reconfigured ring road, and overall campus parking and associated landscape design. As the centerpiece of the expansion and renovation project, the approximately 10,000 square foot Innovation Lab to serves the school’s 450 Pre-K through 4th grade student population.





该建筑结合有手工学习工坊，其中包括木工车间、机器人实验室和教学厨房，体现了Lamplighter学校的教育价值观和愿景，这是这样一种整体性策略，即集结了设计、系统、学习，并且思考它们与自然环境之间的联系，创新实验室在建立21世纪标识的同时，为现有的建筑物和景观空间增添了生命力。

Programmed with hands-on learning classrooms, including woodshop, robotics lab, and teaching kitchen, the building is an expression of the educational values and vision of the Lamplighter School, one that suggests a holistic approach to design, systems, and learning with a relationship to the natural environment. The Innovation Lab contributes to the vitality of the existing campus of buildings and landscape spaces, while establishing a 21st Century identity.





在完成创新实验室后，Lamplighter学校校园的更新仍在继续。该项目的第二阶段通过为管理和教学空间的重新配置提供一种更新、适当且整体的方法来改善现有建筑物。除了对建筑物进行翻新和扩建外，还将在整个校园内广泛开展项目，改善人员及其车辆的活动现状，同时建立与自然世界的更直接和实际的联系。这种现代化策略将使学校得以持续发展，并回应其设计初衷。

The renewal of the Lamplighter School campus continues even after completion of the Innovation Lab. Phase 2 of the project improves the existing buildings by providing an updated, appropriate, and holistic approach for the reconfiguration of administrative and teaching spaces. In addition to the building renovations and additions, work will extend broadly across the campus, improving and refining and securing the movement of both people and their vehicles, while establishing a more direct and physical connection to the natural world. This modernization will allow for continued growth and strengthening the school’s original mission.
