哥伦比亚大学医学中心新教育大楼

▼EXTERIOR VIEW SOUTH 南外观

哥伦比亚大学医学中心（CUMC）公布了由Diller Scofidio + Renfro和Gensler事务所联合设计的教学楼设计方案。14层的塔楼中有智能教室、协作空间以及一个学习、教学和应用21世纪医学研究的模拟中心。 建筑有5000万美元的捐款来自杰出校友P. Roy Vagelos和他的妻子。

建筑从附近的乔治•华盛顿桥和河畔花园都能够看到，是北曼哈顿天际线上的地标。施工预计在2013年开始，42个月的时间才能建成。

校方认为这个将教育设施和绿色空间结合起来的世界顶级医学院有利于整个校园和社会。并能吸引最优秀的学生前往这里学习。这里有一个讲堂，最先进的电子设备将信息很好的传达给学生。这里还容纳各种互动学习方式空间，并拥有放松的咖啡和休息空间，还有可以俯瞰哈德逊河美景的露台。所有的社交和公共空间主要布置在建筑南立面，玻璃立面反映出内部的活动，也让自然光照进入，同时提供南向的视野。

这个建筑内部的层面由一个曲折的楼梯状的面形成。各种空间就分布其中，自然而然的形成一些阶梯教室和一些有趣的空间。建筑的玻璃幕墙符合其在城市的环境。DS+R的Elizabeth Diller说，这座建筑将成为一个社交和学术的焦点，教育和社交活动相互交织，鼓励学生和员工协作学习的新模式。

学生委员会成员认为这个建筑让各种层面的学生能进行交互。增加学生的社会归属感。大楼采用绿色建筑技术设计，创建温馨的可持续性环境，满足LEED白金标准。

Columbia University Medical Center Unveils Design for New Medical and Graduate Education Building

Building design led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro

Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) announced plans for a new, state-of-the-art medical and graduate education building on the CUMC campus in the Washington Heights community of Northern Manhattan. The new building, with a design led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with Gensler as executive architect, is a 14-story facility that incorporates technologically advanced classrooms, collaboration spaces, and a modern simulation center, all reflecting how medicine is and will be taught, learned, and practiced in the 21st century.

Construction of this new building is supported by a lead gift of $50 million from P. Roy Vagelos, M.D., a distinguished alumnus of Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), and his wife, Diana Vagelos. This gift was announced in September 2010. The building will become an important landmark to the skyline of Northern Manhattan – as it will be visible from the nearby George Washington Bridge and Riverside Park. Construction is expected to begin in early 2013 and will take approximately 42 months.

Here’s some more information from the Diller Scofidio + Renfro:

“The new building provides upgraded education facilities that reflect the eminence of one of the top medical schools in the world. Both the building and the newly created green space that will surround it will also revitalize our campus in ways that will benefit both our medical center and the entire community,” said Lee Goldman, M.D., dean of the faculties of health sciences and medicine at CUMC and executive vice president for health and biomedical sciences at Columbia University.

Located on existing Columbia property on Haven Avenue between West 171st and West 172nd Streets, the Medical and Graduate Education Building will be used by students from all four CUMC schools (P&S, Nursing, Dental Medicine and the Mailman School of Public Health), and the biomedical departments of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Its high-tech medical simulation center, which will allow hands-on learning in realistic settings, will transform the way CUMC trains health professionals in medicine, dentistry, and nursing, as well as how practicing physicians maintain their clinical skills and learn new techniques.

“The new building will have the best possible design that is attractive, comfortable, and appropriate for the intense kind of education that our students receive,” said Dr. Vagelos, a 1954 graduate of P&S, and former chairman and CEO of Merck & Co. Inc. He is chairman of the CUMC’s Board of Visitors and Defining the Future Campaign “The formal learning space will have state-of-the-art electronics that facilitate the delivery of information to students. In addition, there will be space where the students can informally interact and work as teams – reflecting our new curriculum which emphasizes team-based learning. And there will also be space to relax and have coffee. It will incorporate every aspect of medical and graduate education – updated in a modern, environmentally responsible way.”

The design weaves together areas for study and other activities. It features technology-enabled classrooms; a state-of-the-art medical simulation center that will replicate clinics, operating rooms and other real world medical environments; innovative learning facilities for both collaboration and quiet study; an auditorium and event areas with integrated technology; centralized student support services; student lounges and cafés; and multiple purpose outdoor spaces, including a terrace with views of the Hudson River.

The “Study Cascade” is the principle design strategy of the building – a network of social and study spaces distributed across oversized landings along an intricate 14- story stair. The Study Cascade creates a single interconnected space the height of the building, stretching from the ground floor lobby to the top of the building, and conducive to collaborative, team-based learning and teaching. The “Study Cascade” interiors are complemented by a distributed network of south-facing outdoor “rooms” and terraces that are clad with cement panels and wood. While the “Study Cascade” provides an organizational strategy for the building’s interior, it is also an urban gesture that, with its glass façade, aims to become a visual landmark at the northern limit of Columbia University’s medical campus. The northern face of the building houses space for classrooms, clinical simulation and administration and support.

“The new Medical and Graduate Education Building will be the social and academic anchor of the CUMC campus,” said Elizabeth Diller, principal-in-charge of the project Diller Scofidio + Renfro. “Spaces for education and socializing are intertwined to encourage new forms of collaborative learning among students and faculty.”

“The architecture of the (campus) revitalization program is really powerful and brings medical students, dental students, graduate students all together and makes us feel more like we are part of the community,” said Kally Pan, a doctoral candidate in P&S and a member of a student committee that participated in the design process.

The Medical and Graduate Education Building incorporates green design and building techniques that will create a welcoming environment and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the entire neighborhood. The University is planning the building to meet LEED-Gold standards for sustainability. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a national design standard for green buildings and sustainability which is administered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).

For more than two centuries, Columbia University has been a premier destination for medical education, training generations of outstanding physicians and scientists. It was the first medical school in the United States to award the M.D. degree in 1770. The new building is intended to keep Columbia at the forefront of innovations in medical and graduate science education.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro is an interdisciplinary design studio that integrates architecture, the visual arts, and the performing arts. Based in New York City, the 100-person studio is led by three partners – Elizabeth Diller, Ricardo Scofidio, and Charles Renfro – who work collaboratively on the design of each project in the studio. In 1999, the MacArthur Foundation presented Ms. Diller and Mr. Scofidio with the ‘Genius’ Fellowship for their commitment to integrating architecture with issues of contemporary culture. Selected projects include: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, comprised of the redesign of Alice Tully Hall and the expansion of the Juilliard School, New York City; the High Line Park, New York City; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Brown University’s Creative Arts Center, Providence; Blur Building, Switzerland; The Broad Museum, Los Angeles; the Museum of Image & Sound, Rio de Janeiro; the Hirshhorn Museum Seasonal Inflatable Pavilion, Washington D.C; and Columbia Business School on the Manhattanville campus, New York City.
