Gilder Center Northfield Mount Hermon School / Flansburgh Architects

由专筑网小R编译

传道者Dwight Lyman Moody于1879年创建了Northfield女子学院，同时在1881年创建了Mount Hermon男子学院，在最初的时候，这两所学校的教育资源都有限，而后来在1971年合并了，NMH接纳所有学生，并且为有色人种学生提供优先的权利。

Text description provided by the architects. Evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody founded Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies in 1879 and Mount Hermon School for Boys in 1881. Beginning as two institutions to educate young people with limited resources, Northfield and Mount Hermon later became a coeducational schools in 1971. NMH enrolled students of all races and ethnicities, as well as prioritized providing opportunities for students of color.



这所学校有着全面且严谨的学术研究精神，鼓励包罗万象的思维、动手解决问题、富含同理心的逻辑和高效的沟通措施，全新的Gilder中心鼓励学生主动学习，也几年了NMH丰富的建筑历史，同时提供现代化的教育环境。

Today the school continues to encourage inclusivity, hands-on problem solving, compassionate thinking, and effective communication through holistic, rigorous academics. The new Gilder Center encourages students to develop a life-long love of learning. It honors NMH’s rich architectural history while providing a modern educational environment.



NMH院区位于马萨诸塞州的Connecticut河谷地区，这里最初服务于航海、贸易、狩猎，以及农业系统，到了19世纪，定居人数越来越多，工业化程度也逐步增强，沿河地区的生产和贸易逐步发展，工业革命给新英格兰带来了全新的建筑风格，其中就包含Richardsonian教堂和工业厂房。

NMH’s campus sits along the Connecticut River Valley in Massachusetts, a site originally used for navigation, trade, hunting, and farming. With increased European settlement and industry in the 1800s, production and trade boomed along the river. The Industrial Revolution brought new styles of architecture to New England, including Richardsonian churches and Industrial mill buildings.



Gilder中心和园区有着双重关系，同时也纪念这山谷丰富的历史，传统的花岗岩立面位于绿地之上，建筑的立面灵感来源于HH Richardson的作品，通过承重石梁作为整体形态，石材拱门入口也让结构和现有的园区教堂看起来更加和谐，同时也象征着通向科学的门户。

The Gilder Center commemorates the valley’s rich history with its dual relationship to the campus. The traditional, granite façade sits solidly on the green, reflecting NMH’s “well-grounded” ethos. Inspired by the work of HH Richardson, the façade is heavily rusticated with load-bearing stone lintels. The stone arch entrance harmonizes the structure with the campus’s existing chapel, as well as symbolizes a gateway to the sciences.





现代建筑位于花岗岩立面的后侧，朝向Connecticut河谷，上方覆盖着石材面板的外部墙体升起于玻璃墙体之上，看起来如同漂浮在景观上方一般，这种做法参考了工业风格的高天花板、极简主义美学，以及大型分隔窗户，典型的新英格兰设计策略和该地区的技术创新历史产生了共鸣。

Behind the granite façade, the contemporary building gestures towards the Connecticut River Valley. Lifted above glass walls, the upper slate-clad exterior seems to float above the landscape. Drawing from Industrial-style high ceilings, minimalist aesthetics, and large, divided windows, its quintessentially New England design resonates with the region’s history of technological innovation.









Gilder中心拥有各种各样的学术空间，其中包含教学中心、制造空间、门厅和展示区、中央协作区、团队会议空间，另外还有10间数学教室、10间科学实验室，以及5间迷你实验室与准备室，这些空间能够容纳多种功能，激发学生的创造力，鼓励师生之间的互动。

The Gilder Center has a variety of academic spaces including a faculty hub, maker space, lobby/presentation area, central collaboration zones, small group meeting spaces, 10 math classrooms, 10 science labs, and 5 mini-labs/prep rooms. These spaces accommodate multiple uses, stimulate creativity, and encourage interaction amongst students and faculty.



学校拥有迷人的学术环境和美丽的校园空间，明亮通透的室内空间结合了外部的景观，裸露的系统直接表达了建筑的内部结构，构成了高技氛围，展示建筑的科学特征。

Embracing the school’s engaging academic environment and beautiful campus, the bright and airy interior allows for transparent views of indoor and outdoor areas. Exposed systems reveal the building’s anatomy, creating a high-tech atmosphere that demonstrates the science of construction.







该项目应用了可持续设计，结合当地绿色材料，地板和屋面结构通过交叉层压木材制作而成，这种可再生资源减少了一定程度的碳排放，支持学校对于碳足迹的减少的承诺，玻璃墙体让光线进入室内，而石材覆面的外部墙体减少了碳密集制造产品的应用，空间中还应用了LED人工照明，还结合有高效的节约用水设计措施。

The project has a sustainable design and uses local, green materials. The floor and roof structure is made of cross-laminated timber. This renewable resource reduces embodied carbon, supporting the school’s commitment to minimizing their carbon footprint. Glass walls maximize natural light, and the slate-clad exterior decreases the use of carbon-intensive manufactured products. All artificial lighting is LED, and all toilets save water through a low-flush, highly efficient design.







全新的Gilder中心将传统建筑和现代设施相互结合在一起，不仅仅保留了原有的传统内容，同时也融合了创新与协作的教育方式。

By combining traditional architecture and modern facilities, the new Gilder Center celebrates NMH’s heritage while providing a home for its innovative and collaborative educational approach.
