盐湖社区学院（SLCC）的Westpointe劳动力培训和教育中心（WWTEC）是一个技术先进的实践学习设施，在一个灵活、高质量的空间里支持社区的培训需求。WWTEC位于盐湖谷一个基础设施不够充足的地区，符合SLCC作为该地区技术劳动力教育的主要中学后提供者的使命，解决基于技能的劳动力日益短缺的问题。

The Westpointe Workforce Training & Education Center (WWTEC) at Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) is a technically sophisticated facility for hands-on learning that supports the community’s training needs in a flexible, high-quality space. Located in an underserved area of Salt Lake Valley, the adaptable WWTEC aligns with SLCC’s mission as the area’s primary post-secondary provider of technical workforce education, addressing a growing shortage in skills-based workforce.

该设施汇集了活跃在盐湖谷的先进制造业的技术教育，包括复合材料、塑料、加工、焊接、电子、柴油技术和CDL卡车驾驶。基于真实工作环境的协作实验室、教室和车间空间，有助于确保学生有足够的能力进入犹他州不断增长的STEM行业。

The facility brings together technical education in advanced manufacturing trades active in the Salt Lake Valley, including Composites, Plastics, Machining, Welding, Electronics, Diesel Technology and CDL Truck Driving. Collaborative lab, classroom and shop spaces based on real-world working environments help ensure students are well-equipped to enter Utah’s growing STEM-based industries.

WWTEC位于紧邻I-215公路以西的一个高度可见的地点，为该建筑创造了一个机会，以表达内部的动态活动以及学院的价值观。该建筑的东侧立面成为了SLCC品牌的一个机会，而该设施的外形最终达到了121,000平方英尺，长度超过600英尺。WWTEC的规模在设计中得到了解决，通过形式和材料打破了建筑体量，为学生和教师提供了一个更加平易近人、方便行人的环境，适应了人类的尺度。不同的虚实关系也被用来打破体量，公共空间也成为内外空间的连接。

The WWTEC sits on a highly visible site immediately west of I-215, creating an opportunity for the building to express the dynamic activities held within, as well as the values of the College. The building’s east façade became an opportunity for SLCC branding, while the facility’s form ended up being 121,000-square-feet and more than 600 feet long. The magnitude of the WWTEC was addressed in design by breaking up the mass through form and materials, accommodating the human scale with a more approachable, pedestrian-friendly environment for students and faculty. Varied solid/void relationships were also employed to break up the mass, with a strong inside/outside connection between public spaces.

外部体量展示了WWTEC的功能和内部程序，而内部视觉透明的主题将培训展示出来，以激励和鼓舞学生。高台的实验空间沿着线性脊柱的一侧组织，脊柱的街道一侧有两层教室和支持空间。为了鼓励学生和教师的学习，该项目被设想为一个健康的、充满活力的学习环境，内部具有较高的天花板，丰富的室内外连接，自然光，以及用户可以互动和社交的被动学习空间。内部程序将工业规模的实践车间空间与人类规模的普通学术教室和开放式学习区分开。

The exterior massing demonstrates the WWTEC’s function and interior program, while themes of visual transparency within put training on display to motivate and inspire students. High-bay lab spaces are organized along one side of a linear spine, with two levels of classrooms and support spaces on the spine’s street side. Envisioned as a healthy, vibrant learning environment for students and faculty to encourage learning, the interiors feature higher ceilings, abundant indoor-outdoor connections, natural daylight, and passive learning spaces in which users can interact and socialize. The interior program separates the industrial scale of hands-on shop space from the human scale of general academic classrooms and open study areas.

项目提供了尽可能高的生命安全、安保、采光、清洁空气以及有效利用能源和水来支持内部的所有活动。为了实现净零用电，一个安装在屋顶上的3520块太阳能电池阵列提供了中心的大部分电力需求。此外，28个天窗和连续的天窗带来充足的自然光，以提高认知和生产力。

The facility offers the highest possible levels of life safety, security, daylighting, clean air, and the efficient use of energy and water in support of all activities held within. In pursuit of net-zero electricity usage, a 3,520-panel, roof-mounted solar array provides much of the Center’s electrical needs. Furthermore, 28 skylights and continuous clerestories bring in ample natural light to boost cognition and productivity.

WWTEC为追求技术职业的学生提供了一个独特的一站式教育中心，为劳动力做准备，在未来几年为学院和社区服务。

The WWTEC gives students pursuing technical careers a unique one-stop education center in preparation for the workforce, serving the College and its community for years to come.
