架构师提供的文本描述。约克豪斯学校是一个独立的K12女孩学校，自1932年以来一直位于温哥华传统的肖内西社区的中心地带。前瞻性研究所需要一座新的高中建筑，其任务包括纳入节能系统、最大限度地利用自然照明以及提供灵活的工作空间以适应21世纪的教学实践。新的高中也被要求统一144，721英尺2(13，445平方米)的校园，其中包括几个不同风格的建筑，这些建筑已经超过了80年的时间。

Text description provided by the architects. York House School, an independent K–12 for girls, has been located in the heart of Vancouver’s heritage Shaughnessy neighborhood since 1932. The forward-looking Institute required a new senior school building with a mandate that included the incorporation of energy efficient systems, the maximization of natural lighting, and the provision of flexible workspaces to accommodate 21st-century teaching practices. The new senior school was also required to unify the 144,721ft2 (13,445m2) campus, which comprised several buildings of various styles that had been added over an 80-year span.

新的高中通过高耸的玻璃门户、流通的十字路口和中庭空间为大约克大厦校园提供强有力的存在和新的入口，连接现有学校的南、北和东翼。新增教室36 000英尺2(3 345平方米)；行政和服务空间；社交更衣室区和八年级至十二年级学生休息区。创新、进步和协作的先进学习和教学空间具有适应性和灵活性，每天都有空间和场所进行非正式的学生和教师互动。

The new Senior School provides a strong presence and new entry point for the greater York House campus through a soaring glazed portal, circulation crossroads and atrium space that connects the south, north and east wings of the existing school. The addition includes 36,000 ft2 (3,345m2) of classrooms; administrative and service spaces; social locker zones and lounge areas for students in grades eight through twelve. Innovative, progressive and collaborative state-of-the-art learning and teaching spaces are adaptable and flexible, with spaces and places for informal student and teacher interaction throughout the day.

初级西面入口高程的组成和层次在第三层后退，创造了一个大阳台，减少了明显的规模，并与相邻南北翼的聚集有关。生动的，木质的，垂直的遮阳在西和东高地提供太阳遮阳和突出的建筑物从街道和校园引人注目的存在。

The composition and hierarchy of the primary west-facing entry elevation is stepped back at the third story, creating an extensive balcony that reduces apparent scale and relates to the massing of the adjacent north and south wings. Vivid, wood-finished, vertical sunshades at the west and east elevations provide solar shading and accentuate the striking presence of the building from the street and the campus.

高年级和初中学生通过景观美化前院进入约克大厦校园，提供各种室外座位和聚会区域。入口附近的地区将种植白色玫瑰-学校的标志-进入学校的门槛上刻有“不仅仅是为了我们自己”的校训，加强了学校对更大社区的价值。雨水花园旁边的主要入口和一个轻轻流动的喷泉提供了一个平静和舒缓的环境。彩色玻璃，钢和木材入口门户提供天气保护，明确标志着进入校园的主要通道。

Senior and junior students access the York House campus through a landscaped forecourt featuring a variety of outdoor seating and gathering areas. The area adjacent to the entry will be planted with white roses—the emblem of the school—and the threshold to the school entry is inscribed with the school motto ‘Not for Ourselves Alone’ reinforcing the school’s value of the greater community. Rain gardens flank the main entry and a gently flowing fountain provides a calm and soothing setting. The coloured glass, steel and wood entry portal provides weather protection, clearly marking the primary access to the campus.

初中生在前往现有学校其他地区的路上，经过天空照明的中庭十字路口，这里有几个梯级的社交和非正式学习空间。中央中庭空间将高级中学与现有的南北两翼连接起来，通过一个宽敞的、白天照明的广场，在整个学校日间创造动态互动，并为整个校园建立统一的循环系统。

Junior students pass through the sky-lit atrium crossroads, which features several terraced social and informal study spaces, on their way to other areas of the existing school. The central atrium space connects the Senior School to the existing north and south wings though a generous, day-lit concourse, creating dynamic interactions throughout the school day, as well as a unified circulation system for the campus as a whole.

完成材料简单，备用的纹理混凝土，木材，玻璃和石头的调色板整个设施使用。捐献者识别计划的特点是成千上万名著名女性的名字，由学生们挑选出来，他们被印在无数的玻璃护罩上，勾勒出贯穿中庭十字路口的循环路线。

Finish materials are simple and spare with a palette of textured concrete, wood, glass and stone used throughout the facility. The donor recognition program features the names of thousands of famous women, selected by the students that are screen-printed onto the myriad of glass guards delineating the circulation routes throughout the central atrium crossroads.

该项目采用相当于LEED黄金标准的可持续设计最佳做法，包括雨水管理、能源优化、被动太阳能控制和日照、资源高效建筑材料以及通过中央中庭的叠加效应提高室内空气质量和居住者舒适度。

Built to the equivalent of LEED Gold standard, the project follows best practices in sustainable design through storm water management, energy optimization, passive solar control and day-lighting, resource-efficient building materials, and enhanced indoor air quality and occupant comfort through the stack effect of the central atrium.
