來自建築事務所的描述：2012年，由於普羅維斯頓市I-195的搬遷，約翰遜威爾士大學購買了40英畝的土地。這座創新中心成為了這片場地上的第一座建築，促進了周邊網絡的發展，建築包含有咖啡廳、室外院落、活動空間，街道上的人們也能夠看到學生們在這裡學習與活動。
Text description provided by the architects. In 2012, Johnson & Wales University purchased 40 acres of property that had become available due to the relocation of I-195 in downtown Providence. As the first completed building constructed on this reclaimed land, the building serves as a new beacon on the edge of the campus and is designed to support the evolving urban street grid with a cafe, outdoor courtyard, lobby event space, and learning activities visible from the street.
街道層面的展覽空間展示了學生們的公共工作，通高的玻璃窗戶給人們帶來了無死角的視角。機械與設計學院的負責人說道：“展示創新是我們學院的日常工作，鄰里、遊客、學校社區都能夠通過玻璃窗看到我們的日常生活。”
Gallery space on the street level showcases student work for the public, and the floor-to-ceiling windows provide unencumbered views into daily activity. “Innovation on Display is a foundation of our school,” states the Dean of the School of Engineering and Design. “Neighbors, visitors to the city, and our own college community can look into the windows and see the work that our students do on a daily basis.”
全新的大樓為學校的跨學科式體驗學習提供了場地。該項目的設計原則是通過開放和靈活的空間，促進科學、技術、視覺藝術、機械工程、計算機科學等多學科發展。在校園中，這座建築有著靈活且適應性強的空間，從而滿足人們不斷變化的使用需求。
This new 71,000 SF STEAM building expands the university’s commitment to interdisciplinary and experiential learning. A guiding principle for the project was to provide openness and flexibility to foster a healthy integration of diverse disciplines – science, technology, visual arts, engineering and computer science. Now an active destination on campus, the building features flexible, adaptable spaces that meet ever-changing needs and programming.
這座充滿活力的建築吸引著不同專業的學生們，該項目的挑戰在於需要設計一座跨學科的學術建築，同時保障最大限度的靈活性和多功能性，各項功能用房彼此結合在一起，其中包括學生休息區、團隊空間毗鄰老師辦公區域，提升了師生之間的互動性，也強調了學生們的“課外”體驗。
This dynamic hub for discovery and collaboration attracts students from a wide variety of departments to an area on campus that previously seemed off the beaten path. Challenged to design an interdisciplinary academic building with maximum flexibility and versatility, programmatic adjacencies were considered, including locating the student lounge and teaming spaces near faculty office suites to encourage faculty/student interaction and enhance the “out-of-class” student experience.
整座建築的通透性也是一大特點，玻璃幕牆直接展示了學生們在教室裡的各項活動，同時也給學生們帶來了室外景觀。走廊和教學空間之間的玻璃幕牆提升了內外空間的連接，促進了各項協作與互動，外部的人們能夠看到一層創新實驗室與展覽空間的科技成果展示。
Transparency into and throughout the building is also a key design feature, showcasing continuous student activity in the labs and classrooms, and views to the campus and urban neighborhood. Enhanced visibility offered by glass partitions between corridors and teaching spaces promotes an interactive, collaborative environment, and passersby can see science on display in the first-floor innovation lab and exhibit spaces.
一位平面設計專業的學生說：“我去上設計課的時候，能夠看到生物實驗室裡的各項活動，這是一件有趣的事情。在這座建築中能夠看到其他學生們的學習過程，以及合作空間裡的互動與協作，對於我們的學習也會很有幫助。”
“It’s really neat to see what’s going on inside a biology lab while I’m walking to one of my design classes,” said a graphic design major. “It’s so helpful to see the experiences of the other students here with all these collaborative spaces put together in this beautiful building.”
