桑德拉·戴·奥康纳法学院（Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law）

桑德拉·戴·奥康纳法学院(Sandra Day O ‘Connor College of Law)通过在凤凰城市中心建造的一个全新的现代化设施——Beus法律与社会中心(Beus Center for Law and Society)，重新塑造了传统的法学院学习体验。法学院迁往亚利桑那州立大学中心校区，为凤凰城法律和刑事司法社区提供了有益的方案，并成为推进学院教学使命的独特机会。Beus法律与社会中心希望设计成为一个制度革新的机构，致力于教育学生和公民，让他们了解法律在塑造公民社会中的重要性。这栋占地26万平方英尺的六层建筑代表着最为先进的设施，由来自Ennead Architects事务所的Tomas Rossant和Jones Studio合作完成。学院提供公共利益法律诊所和全国第一个非营利性教学律师事务所，旨在于将法学院打造成连接先进的法律学术和社区的责任的渠道。

The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law reinvents the traditional law school experience through the construction of a new, modern facility, the Beus Center for Law and Society, in the heart of downtown Phoenix. The relocation of the law school to this area of Arizona State University’s downtown campus provides beneficial programmatic adjacencies to the Phoenix legal and criminal justice community and unique opportunities to advance the College’s pedagogical mission. The Beus Center for Law and Society is designed to act as an institutional change agent, dedicated to educating students and citizens on the importance of the law in shaping civil society. The six-story, 260,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility, designed by Tomas Rossant of Ennead Architects in collaboration with Jones Studio, repositions the law school as a conduit for connecting the school’s progressive legal scholarship with its commitment to the community by providing services like a public interest law clinic and the nation’s first not-for-profit teaching law firm.

该建筑的设计构思和发展以面向公众开放为核心，创建了一个独特的城市环境，有利于ASU、法学院和凤凰城当地社区之间的联系。一个通过庭院空间的南北向“切片”创造了一个吸引人的、活跃的公共空间。其中有一条人行通道，将人们直接带到法学院的核心位置：法学院的大厅和三个双层通高的空间。这三个空间竖向堆叠，成为法学院的交通核心，第一层是大厅，第三层是主图书馆，第五层是一个室外庭院。图书馆的书架和学习空间延伸到上层，成为主要的流通路径，促进学生、教师和访客之间的知识和社会交流。连接东西方向的露天人行道缝合贯穿大楼的“切片”，并可通往位于北部的一个悬挂式双层楼高的阅读房间和南部两层提供给智囊团使用的空间。

The building design was conceived and developed with openness to the public in mind and creates a unique urban environment that encourages vibrant connections between ASU, the College of Law and the local downtown Phoenix community. A north-south “slice” through the courtyard massing creates an inviting and active public space with a pedestrian pathway that brings individuals directly into the central core of the law school, exposing them to the main lobby and three double-height spaces located at the heart of the building. These three spaces are stacked vertically and serve as the core of the College, with the Great Hall on level one, the main library floor on level three and an outdoor courtyard on level five. Library stacks and study spaces extend up to the upper levels and serve as the primary circulation paths, which promote intellectual and social interchange between students, faculty and visitors. The “slice” through the building is stitched together by open-air walkways that bridge east and west and provide access to a suspended double-height reading room at the north and two stories of think tank space at the south.

在整个过程中，可持续性是一个关键的驱动设计的因素。主建筑立面的自遮阳锯齿形结构由亚利桑那州砂岩和铝制窗组成，根据太阳的方向、窗口大小和功能需求进行变化。立面由单元化构件组成，在工厂组合好，以达到热学表现的更高标准。经过高度隔热处理的墙和屋顶也有助于提高建筑外壳的效率。在机电方面，该建筑采用了节能技术，包括冷却梁和地板下的置换冷却。因此，相比于在ASHRAE 90.1-2007标准下的基本楼型，该建筑将预计减少37%的能源消耗。适应沙漠生长的植被和水景使得整体景观生动起来，有利于减少场地上的灌溉需求。

Sustainability was a key design driver throughout the process. The self-shading, saw-toothed configuration of the main building façade, comprised of Arizona sandstone with aluminum and glass windows, changes in response to solar orientation, window size and programmatic requirements. The façade is unitized and factory assembled, both to assure quality and to achieve a higher standard of thermal performance. Heavily insulated walls and roof also contribute to the efficiency of the shell. Mechanically, the building incorporates energy- efficient technologies, including chilled beams and under-floor displacement cooling. Consequently, the building is expected to reduce energy consumption by 37% compared to a baseline building, per ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Desert-adaptive planting and water features activate the landscape, helping to minimize on-site irrigation demands.

其他设计特色还包括大厅中创新的可伸缩的座椅系统，它可以使日常的阶梯式座椅转变到更正式场合下需要的礼堂座椅，从而改变空间的功能。传统可伸缩座椅的座椅和阶梯平台是连接在一起的，两者同时伸缩，设计团队自主开发了一个与此不同的系统，像一个可抽拉的文件盒，可以让观众席的每一排独立使用，并可藏在独立的分层式座椅之下。当座椅处于收缩位置时，阶梯状的木台阶成为一个特殊的社交空间，同时也是一个室内景观，有利于人们之间的互动。大厅前宽敞的双折叠式玻璃门，模糊了室内与室外空间的界限，为凤凰城社区提供了一个独特的城市空间。它对外开放的欢迎姿态清晰地传达和体现了法学院新居的首要使命，即这里是学习、实践法律和社会相融合的地方。建筑在城中一个活力十足的空间里，有着许多零售店，一个书店，一个自营的咖啡馆，和一个面向泰勒街和第一大道的室内大型媒体显示屏。显示屏让街道更加生动有活力，它会显示即将举办的活动，当前的法律主题和其他可编辑的内容，时刻提醒着人们法律是如何从多方面塑造社会的。

Other design features include an innovative retractable seating system in the Great Hall that allows the space to be converted from an everyday tiered arrangement to a more formal auditorium configuration. Unlike traditional retractable seating where the chairs and tiered platform are attached and both retract together, the design team developed a motorized tray-like system that allows for each row of auditorium chairs to be deployed independently and concealed within the individual tiers. When the chairs are in their retracted position, the tiered array of wood steps serves as a unique social space and interior landscape that encourages interaction. The expansive bi-folding glass door at the front of the Great Hall blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space, providing flexibility while offering a unique civic space to the downtown Phoenix community. Its welcoming gesture of openness clearly communicates and embodies the overarching mission of the College of Law’s new home as a place where the study and practice of law and society converge. In an area of downtown newly invigorated with the addition of retail spaces, a bookstore and an independently owned and operated café, a large interior media display projects out towards Taylor Street and 1st Street and activates the street, featuring upcoming events, current legal topics and other programmable content that informs and reminds the public of the many ways law shapes society.
