UC Berkeley's Solar Energy Research Center

加州大学/劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的Chu大厅位于广阔的伯克利山中间，它是太阳能研究中心——可替代能源研究机构，用来复制大自然的神秘力量。这座新设施专注于下一代光伏解决方案，例如人工光合作用。项目的挑战是在小斜坡上紧凑的研究设施中心内设计和39000平方英尺的交互研究空间，这个空间坚持严格的振动和光线要求。

Located among the expansive Berkeley Hills, University of California / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Chu Hall (Solar Energy Research Center) is an alternative energy research facility set to replicate Mother Nature’s mysteries. This new facility focuses next generation photovoltaic solutions, such as artificial photosynthesis. The challenge was to design and deliver 39,000 gross square feet of research space—adhering to stringent vibration and light requirements—on a small, sloping hillside site within a compact core of research facilities.





山坡地形影响设计，并且启发三层楼的规划方法，用于模拟山坡的自然形状。实验室适合小的场地，置于地下减少设施的感知大小，以确保对振动和光线敏感的环境。项目将室外广场和办公室放置在同一水平面上，与当前旧城校园无缝连接，促进场地上所有建筑之间的互动。三层楼的实验室可以直接使用屋顶排气和获得日光。

The hillside topography impacted the design and inspired a three-level planning approach used to mimic the natural form of the hillside. Designed to fit into a small site, labs were placed at subsurface to reduce the perceived size of the facility and to ensure vibration and light sensitive environments. A seamless connection was made with the current Old Town campus by placing an outdoor plaza and offices at-grade, promoting interaction between all buildings on site. Third floor laboratories provide direct access to roof exhaust and daylight.





进一步补充计划目标，设计重点在于能源效率。可再生和回收材料包含在整个设施中。实验室和办公室内的大型窗户提供日光和周围自然环境的景色。绿色屋顶和露天广场通过抗旱和原生植物来美化景观，用来连接附近的建筑。该设施促进健康和合作的工作环境，支持室内开展的研究。

Further complementing the program objective, the design focuses on energy efficiency. Renewable and recycled materials were incorporated throughout the facility. Large windows within labs and offices provide daylight and views to the surrounding natural environment. A green roof and open plaza, which serves as a connection to nearby buildings, was landscaped with drought resistant and native plants. This facility promotes a healthy and collaborative working environment that supports the research taking place inside.
