这座建于谢菲尔德大学，状如钻石的大楼现已竣工。为该大学立志建成世界一流的学生和学术机构的工程学院做出了巨大的贡献。该大楼由 Balfour Beatty 设计并修建完成，因其外观独特，状如钻石，因而将其命名为“Diamond ”该大楼占地19,500平方米，大楼内修建了建筑专家工程实验室，讲座剧场， 大型教学空间，研讨会，学习资源中心及相关正式与非正式的设施，可容纳5000多名学生。
The ground-breaking Diamond building at The University of Sheffield has now been completed, making a major contribution to the University’ s ambition to develop and expand its Faculty of Engineering with world-class facilities for students and academics. Designed by Twelve Archite cts* and constructed by Balfour Beatty, the building – named The Diamond after its unique façde – is a 19,500m2 facility, housing specialist eng ineering laboratories, lecture theatres, large scale flexible teaching spaces, workshops, a learning resource centre and integrated formal and informal study environments for up to 5,000 students.
为了给广大工程院校的学生提供一个像家一样的环境，为了创造出一个适合二十一世纪研究与实践的教学研究环境，以及为了促进协作及跨学科的发展， 大楼内提供了一系列的设施。
As well as providing a home for many of the University’s Engineering undergraduates, the Diamond provides facilities for a range of other departments, promoting collaboration and cross-disciplinary working in an environment fit for 21st century research and practice.
该大楼投资8100万英镑，这是迄今为止在大学的教学与研究方面投资最大的工程项目。大楼的建筑理念也增强了其成为英国领先的工程大学的雄心， 并决定在2021年，将工程学院的规模扩展一倍。当前全世界重视学术研究，在当前的情况下，大学申请学术专业研究率最多为百分之二十五， 委托商团队相信该学术大楼将继续吸引世界一流的学术界和最优秀的学生来到此处，并将发挥至关重要的作用。
At ￡81 million, it is the largest capital investment in teaching and learning ever undertaken by the University, and the brief called for a building that would support its ambition of becoming the UK’s leading engineering university and doubling the size of the Faculty of Engineering by 2021. With applications up by 25% for the current academic year, the client team believes the Diamond has a key role to play in continuing to attract world class academics and the best students.
大楼的外观设计的为钻石状，十分独特的设计。经过特殊处理的铝和玻璃幕墙的外观形状，是因受到其周围的历史建筑的影响，尤其是教堂的石窗花格式设 计的窗户的影响。同时引用了一种，在工程领域中研究出的‘cellular automaton’离散模型，用来描述在大学研究里，在加工过程中，钢结构的微观变化。
The external appearance creates a distinctive presence for the Diamond. The anodised aluminium and glass façde draws inspiration from the detailing of the surrounding historic buildings and in particular the stone tracery that frames the windows of the adjacent church. It also refer ences a ‘cellular automaton’, a discrete model studied in the field of engineering and used by the University to describe how the microstru cture of steel changes during processing.
从基础科学到专业的操作，建筑精神的理念用来支撑建筑的全方位工程。Twelve Architects建筑工作室为大众提供了一条路线，地面层及中庭， 可以向人们展示整个工程的进展。
The ethos of the building is to support work across the full spectrum of engineering, from fundamental science to professional practice. Twelve Architects’ design provides a public route at ground floor level and a central atrium that enables people to view the ‘showcase’ engineering activities being undertaken.
在中庭，建筑采用自然通风的设计，修建了弧形的私人及小组的学习空间。中庭，自北至南分布着教室、实验室和办公室。采用落地窗式的设计，整个建筑铺设 以玻璃，最大程度地拓展内部视野，展示最好的工程教育及研究成果。内部安装有天窗，一楼中庭的学习空间特意安装了定制的玻璃学习桌，自然光照明，渗入 地面及较低的层面，同时创造了很好的声分离的效果。较低的地面层修建了一系列的演讲大厅，总容量为1500个空间，其中最大的演讲厅，可容纳400人。
Within the naturally ventilated atrium, curved ‘pods’ house spaces for informal personal and group learning. Classrooms, laboratories and offic es are arranged to the north and south of the atrium with full height glazing to maximise internal views to and from the teaching spaces which display the best of engineering education and research. Rooflights flood the interior with daylight and custom-designed glazed study tables within the first floor atrium allow the natural light to penetrate the ground and lower ground levels whilst creating acoustic separation. A series of lecture theatres are located at lower ground floor level with a total capacity of 1500 spaces, with the largest lecture theatre seating 400 people.
