Neal数理学院象征着自豪与力量，为青年教育带来一次变革。北芝加哥学区获得了来自AbbVie的4000万美元资助，推动了这一具有转型意义的扩改建项目。北芝加哥是芝加哥地区一个以黑人与棕色人种为主的独特郊区城市，长期以来饱受投资不足的困扰。新建的五层校舍包括运动场、室外学习空间以及促进师生凝聚力的中央节点。建筑的垂直布局提供了邻里景观和充足的自然光。色彩鲜明的外立面和双层渐变幕墙彰显多样性，倡导包容性，为教育空间树立了新标准，同时营造出积极的学习氛围。

The Neal Math + Science Academy is a game changer in education for youth, symbolizing pride and strength. The School District of North Chicago received a transformative $40 million grant from AbbVie. North Chicago, a unique black and brown suburban city in Chicagoland, has faced disinvestment for too long. The five-story building features a sports field, outdoor learning spaces, and centralized nodes promoting togetherness for middle school students and staff. Its verticality offers neighborhood views and ample natural light. The colorful exterior and double gradient façade celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity by setting a new standard for educational spaces, while encouraging an active learning atmosphere.

项目设计由广泛的社区参与推动，以更好地理解本地社区的需求。设计团队与北芝加哥家庭交流，包括家长群体和学生群体。在交流中，社区长期的“隐形”感清晰显现。因此，大多数受访家庭都希望“能被看见”，也希望去“发现和看见”。这启发了该项目打造“垂直学校”的理念，每一层楼象征着时间的流逝，也代表不同的年级。随着学生逐级成长，他们在城市中的能见度不断提升，并与北芝加哥地区建立起更紧密的联系。新校舍因此成为北芝加哥最高的建筑，成为社区的地标与灯塔。

The design was led by significant community engagement efforts to better understand the community’s needs. The team met with families of North Chicago, including both parents and children. Through this engagement, it became clear that the community felt invisible. They wanted to be seen and to see. This inspired the idea of a vertical school where each floor represents a passage in time and marks a different school grade. As students progress through each grade, they gain more visibility within the city limits, and a stronger connection to North Chicago. This makes it the tallest building in North Chicago, serving as a beacon for the community.

该项目的挑战在于如何在旧校舍仍在使用期间完成新校舍的设计与建造。为纪念学校的历史与遗产，旧体育馆被保留下来。这无疑需要设计团队的精心规划与协调。最终，新的设计在保留历史元素的基础上融入现代特征，在传承与创新间找到了平衡，呈现出既尊重过去又面向未来的教育环境。

The challenge of the project was designing and constructing the building while the existing school remained in session. To honor the school’s history and legacy, the gymnasium was preserved. This required careful planning and coordination. The new design emerged from the need to maintain the historical aspects of the old structure, while integrating modern elements for the future. Balancing preservation with innovation was a key challenge, resulting in a design that respects the past while providing a forward-looking educational environment.

Neal数理学院决定在现有建筑旁新建校舍，考虑到大多数学生步行上学。新的设计鼓励步行，通过继续使用既有校址，减少对停车与汽车使用的依赖。

Neal Math and Science Academy decided to build the new facility adjacent to the existing building, recognizing that most students walk to school. By maintaining the location, the new design encourages walking and reduces the emphasis on parking and car usage.

设计团队在一层特别设置了社区共享的功能空间，旨在促进连接与可达性。其中包括北芝加哥社区合作组织专用空间、学习阶梯以及公共餐厅。同时，室外设有广场、休闲运动场以及学校与住区之间的绿色缓冲带。这些空间为社区活动提供了宝贵场所，也增强了学校与周边邻里的联系。

The design team created programmatic elements on the ground specifically for community use, fostering connection and accessibility. This includes a dedicated room for the North Chicago Community Partners, the Learning Stair, and the dining commons. Additionally, there are outdoor plazas, a recreational sports field, and a green space buffer between the school and the residential areas. These features provide valuable spaces for community activities, enhancing the bond between the school and the surrounding neighborhood.
