项目 – Hariri Pontarini Architects最新力作——卡尔顿大学斯普罗特商学院尼科尔大楼广受好评，这座地标建筑巍然矗立在校园关键十字路口，彰显创意与创新精神。

建筑最引人注目的特色莫过于其柔美的弧形轮廓——宛如一个拥抱，热情迎接来访者与学子。这道优雅的弧线贯穿内外，从立面一直延伸到建筑核心处戏剧性的天窗中庭，营造出浑然一体的美学体验。

可持续发展理念与创新手法在尼科尔大楼中得到巧妙融合。外立面采用大胆的预制混凝土竖向肋板，不仅突出了建筑的曲线轮廓，还有效降低太阳辐射室内得热量。内部空间运用了名为"BubbleDeck"的创新建造技术，利用回收塑料球体替代部分混凝土，打造出开阔的无柱空间。

这座六层建筑内设有配备先进技术的教室、协作空间以及创新中心，旨在促进跨学科交流与产学合作。凭借其位于校园地下通道系统之上的优越位置和明亮通透的室内环境，尼科尔大楼在漫长的渥太华冬季里依然温暖宜人。

这一前瞻性设计不仅为校园提供了一流的学习环境，更是斯普罗特商学院形象与价值观的有力诠释。

Project -

Hariri Pontarini Architects has unveiled the Nicol Building, a striking new home for Carleton University's Sprott School of Business in Ottawa, Canada. This 10,684-square-meter landmark structure stands as a beacon of creativity and innovation at a pivotal campus crossroads.

The building's most distinctive feature is its gentle, curving form - an architectural embrace that greets visitors and students alike. This sweeping arc is expressed both externally and internally, creating a unified aesthetic that flows seamlessly from the façade to the dramatic skylit atrium at the heart of the structure.

Sustainability and innovation are woven into the fabric of the Nicol Building. The exterior is clad in bold vertical precast fins that not only accentuate its curved silhouette but also serve to reduce solar heat gain. Inside, the architects have employed an ingenious construction technique called BubbleDeck, utilizing recycled plastic spheres to displace concrete and create expansive, column-free spaces.

The six-story structure houses a vibrant mix of technology-enabled classrooms, collaborative spaces, and an Innovation Hub designed to foster cross-disciplinary interaction and industry partnerships. With its strategic location above the campus pedestrian tunnel system and its light-filled interiors, the Nicol Building creates a welcoming environment that defies Ottawa's long winters.

This forward-thinking design not only provides a state-of-the-art learning environment but also serves as a powerful expression of the Sprott School of Business's core values.
