位于俄勒冈健康与科学大学（OHSU）的奈特癌症研究大楼（KCRB）肩负着终结癌症的使命。为了实现这一目标，奈特癌症研究所倡导“团队科学”方法，鼓励科学家以不同的方式开展工作，在协作、联系和共享资源的环境中进行跨学科的早期检测研究。奈特癌症研究大楼打破了空间的隔阂，支持科学家尽力进行最具创新性的工作。

The Knight Cancer Research Building (KCRB) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) serves a singular mission: to end cancer as we know it. To achieve this, the Knight Cancer Institute championed a “team science” approach that encourages scientists to work differently, performing interdisciplinary early detection research in an environment upholding collaboration, connections, and shared resources. The KCRB breaks down barriers in order to build up scientists to do their best and most innovative work.

基地 | Site

奈特癌症研究大楼获得了 LEED 能源与环境设计先锋铂金级认证，它位于波特兰南部滨水区俄勒冈健康与科学大学的 Schnitzer 校区，坐落在以步行为导向的研究和学术中心的核心位置，该区域配有多模式交通。大楼面向威拉米特河，沿校园南北步行走廊建设，距俄勒冈临床护理部门和去往 Marquam Hill 校区的电车站很近。

Located on OHSU’s Schnitzer Campus in Portland’s South Waterfront District, the LEED Platinum KCRB sits at the heart of a pedestrian-oriented hub of research and academia served by multi-modal transit. The facility fronts a dedicated campus greenspace facing the Willamette River, strategically sited along the campus’s north-south pedestrian movement corridor. OHSU’s clinical care facilities and the tramway to the University’s Marquam Hill campus are a short walk away.

设计理念 | Design Concept

KCRB 是为所有科学家设计的研究大楼，它颠覆了科研工作者、实验室与有限日光相互竞争的典型模式，创造出综合、公平且联系的先进设施。这种团队科学方法一直影响建筑的设计动因：

The KCRB is a research building for all scientists. It overturns the typical model of competing researchers, laboratory siloes, and limited daylight and views for an unprecedented facility that is intentionally integrated, equitable, and connected. This team science approach is what consistently informed the building’s design drivers:

实验室一体化 Integration of Labs

开放邻域的概念定义了大楼的研究楼层，取代了将干实验室放在偏僻角落的做法；共享团队空间和干湿实验室并排放置，它们通过玻璃墙连接，提高了可见度和协作性。独特的设计研究实验室、计算实验室、数据分析人员、共享核心实验室与先进的技术平台相结合，创造出动态的研究环境。研究区域被压缩成四个板块，提升了每个楼层的容量，促进了团队之间的交流。这些实验室楼层高于地平面，允许公众进入，增强了校园的流动性，一楼的会议中心和零售商店为奈特社区提供服务。

Rather than relegate dry labs to remote corners, an open neighborhood concept defines the KCRB’s research floors; shared team space and wet and dry labs reside side-by-side, connected through a glass wall to enhance visibility and collegiality. The unique design integrates bench research, computational labs, data analysts, and shared core laboratories with advanced technology platforms to create a dynamic research environment. The research areas are compressed to four large floor plates, increasing the population on each floor and promoting connectivity between teams. These lab floors are elevated above the ground plane, allowing a publicly accessible first floor to reinforce campus circulation and serve the community through a ground-floor conference center and retail.
