PSAC II 纽约的公共安全应答中心 / SOM Architects

纽约的公共安全应答中心（PSAC II）是位于布朗克斯的新设施，增强了纽约市的 911 应急系统，大楼在可持续化的设计方面采用了很高的标准。 45万平方英尺的建筑物汇聚了来自多个城市机构的警务部门，消防局和紧急医疗服务部门的应急工作人员，机构之间合作的方式堪称现在的典范。

Public Safety Answering Center II (PSAC II), a new facility located in the Bronx, enhances New York City’s 911 emergency response system and sets a high standard to sustainability. The 450,000-square-foot building brings together emergency response workers from multiple city agencies – the Police Department, the Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services – serving as a model for inter-agency cooperation.

作为纽约市主要呼叫中心的备用场所，PSAC II 为城市的911应急服务系统提供了更多的冗余能力。建筑为纽约提升了应对自然灾害和大规模紧急情况的沟通能力，保证了城市在运营过程中的稳定和安全性。该建筑的落成是纽约市911系统改革中的重要里程碑。

As a back-up facility to the city’s primary call center, PSAC II introduces an important layer of redundancy to New York City’s 911 system. Continuously operating and highly secure, the building enhances the city’s ability to maintain communication in the event of a natural disaster or large-scale emergency. The project’s completion is a milestone in New York City’s overhaul of its 911 system, a long-term initiative begun by former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.

PSAC II 占地9英亩（约合3.6公顷），坐落在布朗克斯、佩勒姆公园大道和哈钦森河公园的交汇处。SOM通过设计，结合了建筑的功能性和安全性，为城市环境做出了积极的贡献。建筑外观是一个完美的立方体，出于安保方面的考虑，建筑几乎没有窗户。为了缓和建筑略显单调的整体性外墙，SOM为呼叫中心设计了铝制的锯齿形外墙，赋予建筑更加生动、富于变化的立面。

PSAC II sits on a prominent nine-acre site at the intersection of Bronx and Pelham Parkway and Hutchinson River Parkway. With its design, SOM confronted the challenge of creating a secure and functional building that also makes a positive contribution to its urban context. Designed as a perfect cube, the structure has few windows due to security concerns. To mitigate the building’s potentially monolithic appearance, SOM developed a dynamic, serrated facade that includes recycled aluminum.

建筑的基础是一圈具有雕塑感的护堤，其上种植着野草。这条护堤作为建筑的仪式性边界，同时保护、分隔了呼叫中心与周边的环境，增加了场地的美学体验。从哈钦森河或佩勒姆公园大道一侧来看，护堤隐藏了地面泊车和装卸用的杂乱空间。对于建筑的使用者来说，护堤为他们提供了一出接近自然的空间。同时这些景观中的植物均为野生的品种，不需要灌溉，满足可持续发展设计的要求。

The building is surrounded by a wrap-around sculptural berm of wild grasses. This berm serves as a barrier to protect the facility, and it also enriches the aesthetics of the site. From the Hutchinson River and Pelham Parkways, the berm hides the surface parking and loading dock from view; for the building’s occupants, it offers a sense of connection to nature. The landscape requires no irrigation, which helps to achieve the project’s ambitious sustainability goal of LEED® Gold certi cation.

SOM为内部的应急小组工作人员创造了一个舒适的环境。建筑内部的主要聚集空间一侧是一面由CASE开发的新型植物墙壁，SOM设计研究实验室与伦斯勒理工学院合作共同参与设计。植物墙不仅为建筑增添了一抹自然的颜色，还能减少空气净化过程所消耗的能量。

SOM gave special attention to creating a soothing environment for the emergency response teams working inside. The building’s main gathering space features an innovative plant wall developed by CASE, the design research laboratory of SOM in partnership with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This plant wall not only introduces nature into the building, but also filters the air and reduces overall energy use.
