百年广场
Centennial Plaza

十艾克景观建筑师：德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）是一个国际公认的研究和博士生大学，位于美国-墨西哥边境的吉华环沙漠山脉的山麓。18英亩的校园总体规划和12英亩的校园改造项目旨在通过将几英亩倾斜的沥青街道和停车场改造为促进户外学习的步行景观，加强城市、校园和土地之间的联系，聚集和娱乐，同时将奇瓦瓦沙漠融入校园的城市结构。
Ten Eyck Landscape Architects: The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is an internationally-recognized research and doctoral university uniquely situated in the foothills of Chihuahuan Desert Mountains at the U.S.-Mexico border. The 18-acre Campus Master Plan and 12-acre Campus Transformation Project seek to strengthen the connection between the city, the campus, and the land by converting acres of sloping asphalt streets and parking into a pedestrian-oriented landscape that promotes outdoor learning, gathering and recreation while integrating the Chihuahuan Desert into the urban fabric of the campus.

该项目的核心包括百年纪念广场和百年纪念绿地，以及位于校园中心的详细的户外聚集空间，其中包括一个表演草坪、圆形剧场和喷砂时间表，旨在庆祝大学100周年。新校园的购物中心被当地的梅斯基特树遮蔽，促进了连通性，并将核心区的精神延伸到了大校园，将现有建筑与奇瓦瓦沙漠植物丰富多彩的新庭院连接起来。700多棵旱生遮荫树缓解了埃尔帕索炎热的阳光，而以座位墙渗漏、喷泉水槽和石头天竺葵为形式的灌溉供水功能提供了进一步的生理和心理降温。
The core of the project includes Centennial Plaza and Centennial Green, richly detailed outdoor gathering spaces at the heart of campus that include a performance lawn, amphitheater, and sandblasted timeline designed to celebrate the University’s 100-year anniversary. New campus malls shaded by native mesquite trees promote connectivity and extend the spirit of the core to the greater campus, linking existing buildings with new courtyards enlivened with a rich palette of Chihuahuan Desert plants. The addition of over 700 xeric shade trees mitigates the hot El Paso sun, while irrigation-fed water features in the form of seat wall seeps, fountain troughs, and stone tinajas provide further physical and psychological cooling.

考虑到现场的山地地形，需要对现有地形进行大幅修改，以便于通行和减少雨水。校园购物中心沿线植被茂盛的阿罗约市已建成网络，现在可以疏导、减缓和过滤雨水，这些雨水以前覆盖了哈特米尔阿罗约市的几英亩路面，这是校园内仅存的天然阿罗约市。人行天桥横穿大大小小的阿罗约，为人们提供了俯瞰新出现的短暂降雨事件的机会。
Given the site’s mountainous terrain, dramatic alterations to existing topography were required for accessibility and stormwater mitigation. A constructed network of vegetated arroyos along campus malls now channel, slow, and filter stormwater that had previously sheeted over acres of paving to the Hart-Mill arroyo, the only remaining natural arroyo on campus. Pedestrian bridges traverse arroyos both large and small, providing the opportunity to overlook newly dramatized ephemeral rain events.

尽可能将当地和回收的材料整合到场地设计中，以减少浪费和利用场地的历史背景。施工期间开挖的安山岩与一个大型公用设施改善项目相协调，重新用于arroyos线，并形成梯田式校园空间的挡土墙。同样，从旧校园人行道上打捞出来的混凝土也在Centennial Plaza重新使用，欢迎学生和埃尔帕索居民进入改造后的校园。
Local and salvaged materials were integrated into the site design whenever possible, both to reduce waste and to engage the site’s historical context. Andesite excavated during construction, which was coordinated in conjunction with a major utility improvement project, was repurposed to line arroyos and to form the retaining walls for terraced campus spaces. Similarly, concrete salvaged from old campus sidewalks was repurposed in Centennial Plaza, welcoming students and El Paso residents into the transformed campus.

项目团队对人类舒适性和连通性、本土生态、雨水缓解和渐进式建筑实践的承诺，使项目能够追求可持续的场地认证。该项目代表了UTEP的创新精神，并使校园成为沙漠气候可持续发展的典范。
The project team’s commitment to human comfort and connectivity, native ecology, stormwater mitigation, and progressive building practices has allowed the project to pursue Sustainable SITES accreditation. The project represents the UTEP’s innovative spirit and bolsters the campus as a model of sustainability for desert climates.
