The Robert Day Science Center brings together computer science, data science, and life sciences in a comprehensive environment. As the first completed building in the overall plan of Claremont McKenna College, it extends the north square into a winding and connected group of squares, becoming the hub of pedestrian flow for the entire campus. We envision the Science Center as a series of parallel building volumes arranged side by side, with a public space in the middle, and all building volumes maintaining the same orientation as the square. Although each independent building is designed with reasonable and flexible volumes, serving as both a computer laboratory and a wet laboratory, the open atrium between them has become a Piranesian social space where you can see classmates, faculty, colleagues, and professors from various floors. Therefore, even if you spend most of your time in a wet laboratory, computer lab, or classroom, there will still be many opportunities for you to collide with your classmates' ideas and stimulate the exchange of ideas across traditional knowledge barriers. In this sense, the Robert Day Science Center has become a melting pot, bringing together various types of knowledge and diverse students and teachers in a complex, three-dimensional learning environment. ——Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director of BIG Architecture Firm
罗伯特·戴伊科学中心将计算机科学、数据科学与生命科学汇聚于一个综合环境中。作为克莱蒙特·麦肯纳学院总体规划中的首座竣工建筑，它将北侧广场延伸成曲折相连的广场群，成为整个校园的人流集散枢纽。我们构想科学中心为一系列并排的平行建筑体量，中间设有公共空间，且所有建筑体量均与广场保持相同朝向。尽管每一座独立的建筑体量都设计得合理、灵活，既可用作计算机实验室，也可作为湿实验室，但它们之间的开放中庭却变成了一个皮拉内西式（Piranesian）的社交空间，在这里，你可以从各个楼层看到同学、教职员工、同事和教授。因此，即使你大部分时间都待在湿实验室、计算机实验室或教室里，仍然会有很多机会与同学们产生思想碰撞，激发跨传统知识壁垒的思想交流。从这个意义上说，罗伯特·戴伊科学中心成为了一个熔炉，让各种不同类型的知识以及各种不同的学生和教师汇聚在一个复杂、三维的学习环境中。——Bjarke Ingels，BIG 建筑事务所创始人兼创意总监

The building structure is designed as a stack of two levels, with each pair of volumes rotated 45 degrees relative to the lower level. The gaps between the rotated building blocks form a full height atrium at the core of the building, where classrooms and research spaces can be directly seen from each floor. The open space in the atrium encourages collaboration, reflecting the center's architectural and educational philosophy. The exterior facade of the building is made of glass fiber reinforced concrete formwork panels, which not only create a texture similar to wood, but also meet the durability and fire resistance requirements of modern laboratories. The 11000 square meters of solar panels on the roof can generate approximately 342 megawatt hours of electricity annually. Inside the building, each floor is connected to the next floor through triangular steel trusses, and the trusses are wrapped with Douglas fir veneer. The texture, rhythm, and geometric shape of the truss extend to the exterior of the building, achieving a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. There is a large staircase in the atrium for socializing and leisure, connecting the first and second floors, and a caf é, making the center of the building a vibrant hub. Hanging at an altitude of 30 feet is Damien Ortega's "Magnetic Field" - a complex sculpture depicting the Earth's magnetosphere, consisting of 18 metal rings and 1476 brightly colored glass spheres, as if floating and spinning in the air.
该建筑结构设计为两层体量的堆叠，每一对体量均相对于下层旋转45度。旋转后的建筑体块间的空隙形成了建筑核心处的全高中庭，从各个楼层均可直接看到教室和研究空间。中庭内的开放空间鼓励协作，体现了该中心在建筑与教育方面的理念。建筑外立面采用了玻璃纤维增强混凝土制成的模板成型板，既营造出类似木材的纹理质感，又满足了现代实验室所需的耐久性和防火性能。屋顶上 1.1 万平方米的太阳能板每年可产生约 342 兆瓦时的电能。建筑内部，每一层都通过三角钢桁架与下一层相连，桁架外包有花旗松饰面。桁架的纹理、节奏和几何形状延伸至建筑外部，实现了从室内到室外的无缝过渡。中庭内设有一座大型楼梯，用于社交和休闲，连接着首层和二层，并设有一家咖啡馆，使建筑中心成为一个充满活力的枢纽。悬挂在 30 英尺高空的，是达米安·奥尔特加（Damien Ortega）创作的《磁场》（Magnetic Field）——这是一件描绘地球磁层的复杂雕塑，由 18 个金属环和 1476 个色彩鲜艳的玻璃球组成，仿佛在空中漂浮旋转。

The first floor features the McElwee Forum (a large seminar space) and imaging studios, while classrooms, research areas, dry and wet laboratories, quantum libraries, and maker spaces are distributed on the upper floor. The classroom is arranged along the perimeter of the building, providing a picturesque landscape while also separating it from the atrium and social area below. Throughout the entire building, warm wooden finishes complement the concrete flooring and are embellished with the school's iconic red and gold tones. The interior space designed by BIG Architects aims to meet the needs of future scientific innovation, incorporating elements such as reconfigurable classrooms and modular seating. Eight outdoor rooftop terraces located around the corners of each "bar" building offer a 360 degree panoramic view of the mountains to the north, the campus to the west, and the sports venue area to the east. These multifunctional spaces are planted with native plants, which can be used as outdoor classrooms, as well as learning areas or social spaces. The Robert Day Science Center is committed to obtaining LEED Gold certification.
首层设有麦克尔维论坛（McElwee Forum，一个大型研讨空间）以及影像工作室，而教室、研究区域、干湿实验室、量子图书馆和创客空间则分布在上层。教室沿建筑周边布置，在提供如画景观的同时，又使其与下方中庭及社交区域分隔开来。整栋建筑内，温暖的木质饰面与混凝土地板相得益彰，并点缀着学校标志性的红金色调。BIG 建筑事务所设计的内部空间旨在适应未来科学创新需求，融入了可重新配置的教室和模块化座椅等元素。位于每座“条形”建筑转角周边的八处户外屋顶露台，可 360 度全景俯瞰北面的山脉、西面的校园以及东面的体育场馆区。这些多功能空间种植着本土植物，既可用作户外教室，也可作为学习区域或社交场所。罗伯特·戴伊科学中心正致力于获得 LEED 金级认证。
