沃尔什学院 · 创新思维的协作学习空间

建筑改变了学生的体验，鼓励了基于项目学习的创新思维。

“Architecture transformed the student experience encouraging innovative thinking based on project-based learning.” – Joe Valerio, Design Principal

位于密西根特洛伊的沃尔什学院为成年专业人士提供高级商业教育。沃尔什的大多数学生在商业界全职工作，晚上上课。自1970年成立以来，校园一直在有机地发展，直到瓦莱里奥·德沃尔特·列车公司(ValerioDeWaltTrainAssociates)从战略上分析、设计和实施一项校园范围的总体计划，以提高容量和灵活性。目标是最大限度地增加学生生活的机会，改善学生服务体验，增加沃尔什在利弗诺瓦路的建筑存在，并让学生的活动可以从街道上看到。

Walsh College in Troy, Michigan, provides advanced business education to adult professionals. The majority of Walsh students work full-time in the business community and attend classes in the evening. The campus grew organically since its inception in 1970 until it enlisted Valerio Dewalt Train Associates to strategically analyze, design, and implement a campus-wide master plan to increase capacity and flexibility. The goals were to maximize opportunities for student life, improve the student service experience, increase Walsh’s architectural presence along Livernois Road, and allow student activity to be visible from the street.

第一阶段的完成-2008年巴里中心的建造-开创了一个新的建筑先例，为学生的学习和资源提供了新的设施。第二阶段为教师提供了更好的支持空间。该项目的最后阶段于2016年春季完成，包括沿利弗诺瓦路增加了一项重大扩建，对现有空间进行了重大翻修，并对寻路进行了改进。

The completion of the first phase—the construction of the Barry Center in 2008—established a new architectural precedent, with new facilities geared toward student learning and resources. The second phase provided better support spaces for faculty. The last phase of the project, completed in the spring of 2016, included a major addition along Livernois Road, significant renovation of existing space, and improvements to wayfinding.

像大多数商学院一样，沃尔什采用基于项目的学习方式，依靠案例研究的方法：学生以团队合作为主要教学方法。为了确保他们的成功，沃尔什不仅需要提供教学空间，还需要为学生团队提供一系列的学习和合作空间。新架构将学生、教师和工作人员与不同类型的房间和类似于最进步的公司的工作环境的协作空间扩展到一起，帮助鼓励创新思维和协作。

Walsh, like most business schools, uses project-based learning relying on the case study method: students work in teams as their principle pedagogy. In order to ensure their success, Walsh needed to provide not only teaching space, but also a range of study and collaborative spaces for the student teams. The new architecture connects students, faculty, and staff with an expanded inventory of different types of rooms and collaborative spaces similar to the work environments of the most progressive companies, helping to encourage innovative thinking and collaboration.
