Gilder Center Northfield Mount Hermon School / Flansburgh Architects

由專筑網小R編譯

傳道者Dwight Lyman Moody于1879年創建了Northfield女子學院，同時在1881年創建了Mount Hermon男子學院，在最初的時候，這兩所學校的教育資源都有限，而后來在1971年合并了，NMH接納所有學生，并且為有色人種學生提供優先的權利。

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.



這所學校有著全面且嚴謹的學術研究精神，鼓勵包羅萬象的思維、動手解決問題、富含同理心的邏輯和高效的溝通措施，全新的Gilder中心鼓勵學生主動學習，也幾年了NMH豐富的建筑歷史，同時提供現代化的教育環境。

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院區位于馬薩諸塞州的Connecticut河谷地區，這里最初服務于航海、貿易、狩獵，以及農業系統，到了19世紀，定居人數越來越多，工業化程度也逐步增強，沿河地區的生產和貿易逐步發展，工業革命給新英格蘭帶來了全新的建筑風格，其中就包含Richardsonian教堂和工業廠房。

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中心和園區有著雙重關系，同時也紀念這山谷豐富的歷史，傳統的花崗巖立面位于綠地之上，建筑的立面靈感來源于HH Richardson的作品，通過承重石梁作為整體形態，石材拱門入口也讓結構和現有的園區教堂看起來更加和諧，同時也象征著通向科學的門戶。

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.





現代建筑位于花崗巖立面的后側，朝向Connecticut河谷，上方覆蓋著石材面板的外部墻體升起于玻璃墻體之上，看起來如同漂浮在景觀上方一般，這種做法參考了工業風格的高天花板、極簡主義美學，以及大型分隔窗戶，典型的新英格蘭設計策略和該地區的技術創新歷史產生了共鳴。

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中心擁有各種各樣的學術空間，其中包含教學中心、制造空間、門廳和展示區、中央協作區、團隊會議空間，另外還有10間數學教室、10間科學實驗室，以及5間迷你實驗室與準備室，這些空間能夠容納多種功能，激發學生的創造力，鼓勵師生之間的互動。

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.



學校擁有迷人的學術環境和美麗的校園空間，明亮通透的室內空間結合了外部的景觀，裸露的系統直接表達了建筑的內部結構，構成了高技氛圍，展示建筑的科學特征。

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.







該項目應用了可持續設計，結合當地綠色材料，地板和屋面結構通過交叉層壓木材制作而成，這種可再生資源減少了一定程度的碳排放，支持學校對于碳足跡的減少的承諾，玻璃墻體讓光線進入室內，而石材覆面的外部墻體減少了碳密集制造產品的應用，空間中還應用了LED人工照明，還結合有高效的節約用水設計措施。

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中心將傳統建筑和現代設施相互結合在一起，不僅僅保留了原有的傳統內容，同時也融合了創新與協作的教育方式。

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.
