项目概览与设计理念：该项目最令人印象深刻的在于其深刻的设计理念和对马丁·路德·金博士精神的致敬。建筑师将建筑不仅仅视为一个学习场所，更是一个承载着历史记忆、鼓励自我表达和激发社区凝聚力的空间。建筑师巧妙地将金博士的诺贝尔和平奖演讲的声波图转化为标志性的外立面，这种设计手法极具创意，使得建筑在视觉上极具辨识度，也赋予了建筑独特的文化内涵。同时，建筑师注重可见性、连通性，开放的玻璃立面和南北入口的设计，旨在创建一个包容且温馨的氛围，欢迎学生和社区成员的到来。
空间布局与功能组织：项目的空间布局和功能组织体现了对教育和社区的深刻理解。中心内部设置了多样化的学习空间，包括录音室、演播室、多媒体教室等，满足了艺术和人文科学领域学生的技术需求。值得称赞的是，建筑师不仅仅关注功能性，还注重空间的互动性。例如，灵活的礼堂和活动空间为举办各类活动提供了便利，室外露天剧场则为学生提供了更开放的交流和表演平台。此外，“历史遗产走廊”的设计，通过混合媒体艺术作品，将学术技能与非裔美国人和校园历史上的著名事件相结合，创造了引人入胜的学习体验。
纪念性与人文关怀：该项目在纪念性和人文关怀方面做得非常出色。建筑师不仅纪念了马丁·路德·金博士，还设立了对理查德·柯林斯三世中尉的纪念，通过这些纪念，建筑不仅仅是一栋建筑，更是一个充满敬意和人文关怀的场所。这种设计不仅仅是对逝者的尊重，更是一种对社区精神和价值观的传承和弘扬。整个建筑的设计都贯穿着对历史的尊重、对教育的重视，以及对学生的关怀，这使得鲍伊州立大学的马丁·路德·金中心成为一个充满生命力和影响力的建筑作品。

马丁·路德·金中心注重可见性、连通性和讲故事性，是一个包容、热情的空间。礼堂上标志性的人声波形立面，其设计灵感来自金博士1964年诺贝尔和平奖获奖演讲的声波模式，被战略性地放置为鲍伊火车站和校园之间的门户。建筑南北两面的玻璃立面传达出开放的气息。南入口欢迎学生和游客，提供了一个接待空间——或“拐点”——在礼堂活动前后连接。
With a focus on visibility, connectivity, and storytelling, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center is an inclusive, welcoming space. An iconic vocal waveform façade on the auditorium, its design inspired by the sound wave pattern of Dr. King's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech from 1964, is strategically placed as a gateway between the Bowie train station and the campus. Glass façades on the north and south faces of the building convey openness. The South entrance welcomes students and visitors, providing a reception space—or "Inflection"—to connect before and after events in the auditorium.

历史遗产走廊是一楼的连接走廊，以混合媒体艺术作品为特色，突出了在学术生活中取得成功所必需的技能：探索文化、批判性思维、组织变革、公开演讲、阅读以建立联系和有意识地分析。每个小组都将学术技能与非裔美国人和校园历史上的著名事件独特地结合起来，创建了一个非线性的遗产时间线，旨在通过摄影、文字、颜色和图形元素来激发新的思维方式。
The Historical Legacy Corridor, a connecting hallway on the ground floor, features mixed-media artwork highlighting the skills essential to succeed in academic life: Exploring Culture, Thinking Critically, Organizing Change, Speaking Publicly, Reading to Connect, and Analyzing Mindfully. Each panel uniquely pairs an academic skill with notable events in African American and campus history to create a non-linear heritage timeline intended to spark new ways of thinking, depicted through photography, written word, color, and graphic elements.

为了向服务和牺牲表示深切的敬意，马丁·路德·金中心的北部“拐点”空间以纪念理查德·柯林斯三世中尉为特色，他是BSU预备役军官训练团（ROTC）的候选人，在仇恨犯罪中不幸被杀。刻在毛毡面板上的柯林斯中尉的形象，永远提醒人们面对逆境时团结、坚韧和记忆的重要性。附近的题词鼓励学生“光荣服役。有目的地生活”。南入口中庭的另一面致敬墙纪念马丁·路德·金博士的一生和遗产，他的影响力遍及整个空间。
In a poignant tribute to service and sacrifice, the north "Inflection" space of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center features a memorial to Lt. Richard Collins III, a Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) candidate at BSU whose life was tragically cut short in a hate crime. Etched into felt panels, Lt. Collins' image stands as a lasting reminder of the importance of unity, resilience, and remembrance in the face of adversity. An inscription nearby encourages students to "Serve with honor. Live with purpose." An additional tribute wall in the South Entrance atrium honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, whose influence is felt throughout space.
