最初的浇铸混凝土结构是由SOM在1964年设计的，其特点是一个对称的平面图和一个环绕整个建筑的店面玻璃正面系统。帕金斯伊斯曼的计划将更新建筑的美学与当代钢悬挂玻璃系统和堆叠的粘结石墙，补充干净的线的SOM设计。在基地，现有的建筑物将仍然可见。

The original cast-in-place concrete structure was designed by SOM in 1964 and featured a symmetrical floor plan and a storefront glass facade system that wrapped around the entire building. Perkins Eastman’s plan will update the building’s aesthetic with a contemporary steel-hung glass system and stacked bond stone walls, complementing the clean lines of the SOM design. At the base, the existing building will remain visible.

“除了将现有的校园建筑现代化使用外，新的LASR大楼还将为大学充满活力的北科学四合院做出贡献，并创造出一座强大而成熟的建筑，以适应物理系的智力追求的质量和水平，”帕金斯·伊斯曼芝加哥办公室(Perkins Eastman‘s Chicago Office)的主管兼该项目首席负责人杰瑞·R·瓦莱克(Jerry R.Walleck)说。

“In addition to bringing into modern use an existing campus building, the new LASR building will contribute to the University’s vibrant North Science Quadrangle and create a strong and mature building befitting the quality and caliber of intellectual pursuits by the Department of Physics,” says Jerry R. Walleck, Managing Principal of Perkins Eastman’s Chicago office and Principal-in-Charge of the project.

新增的新办公室和协作空间将沿着建筑的内部周边，使走廊充满日光，而光敏实验室将设在地下室和内部的建筑物。两个最大的集合空间将在正面突出显示：一个悬臂式会议室将提供能够容纳大量人群的畅通无阻的内部空间，一个双高的公共空间将连接到室外屋顶露台，并提供校园四合院的景观。

The addition will feature new offices and collaborative spaces along the building’s interior perimeter, allowing corridors to be filled with daylight, while light-sensitive laboratories will be located in the basement and interior of the building. The two largest gathering spaces will be featured prominently on the facade: a cantilevered seminar room will provide unobstructed interior space capable of accommodating large groups of people, and a double-height commons will connect to an outdoor roof terrace and offer views of the campus Quad.

该建筑的设计达到LEED的银色指标，利用天然光源和使用经过处理的玻璃减少对人工照明的需要，同时减少太阳增益。与传统的强制空气系统相比，加热冷却将通过头顶的水合梁来更有效地处理空气。

The building has been designed to reach LEED silver metrics, taking advantage of natural light sources and employing treated glass to reduce the need for artificial lighting while reducing solar gain. Heating a cooling will be provided through overhead hydronic beams to treat the air more efficiently than in traditional forced air systems.

这座大楼预计将于2017年夏季完工。

The building is expected to be completed summer 2017.
