History
- Attempts to establish a university in Norwich were made in 1919 and again in 1947, but on both occasions the plans had to be postponed because the government of the day would not provide funding.诺里奇筹办大学的努力最早出现在 1919 年,1947 年再度提出,但两次计划都因当时政府不愿拨款而搁置。
- The University of East Anglia was eventually set up in April 1960 for students of biological sciences and English studies, and its first teaching took place in a temporary "University Village" on the far side of Earlham Road.东安格利亚大学最终于 1960 年 4 月筹建,面向生物科学与英语研究专业招生,最初的教学在厄尔姆路另一侧的临时「大学村」中进行。
- The University Village, a cluster of prefabricated structures laid out by the local firm Feilden and Mawson for 1,200 students, was officially opened on 29 September 1963 by Keith Murray, chairman of the University Grants Committee.大学村由本地事务所(Feilden and Mawson)规划,为一组可供 1,200 名学生使用的预制建筑,于 1963 年 9 月 29 日由大学拨款委员会主席基思·默里正式启用。
- As there were then no residences, the vice-chancellor and the administration were based in the nearby Earlham Hall while the permanent buildings were being designed.由于当时尚无学生宿舍,校长与行政部门暂驻附近的厄尔姆堂,同时着手设计永久校区建筑。
- In 1961 the first vice-chancellor, Frank Thistlethwaite, asked the architect Denys Lasdun, a leading figure of New Brutalism and later designer of the Royal National Theatre, to draw up plans for the permanent campus.1961 年,首任校长弗兰克·蒂斯特尔思韦特委托建筑师丹尼斯·拉斯登为新校区绘制规划,后者是新粗野主义代表人物、英国国家剧院的设计者。
- The chosen site lay on the western edge of the city on the south side of Earlham Road, on land that had formed part of the Earlham Hall estate and was then occupied by a golf course.最终选定的校址位于城市西缘、厄尔姆路南侧,土地原属厄尔姆堂庄园,当时还是一片高尔夫球场。
- Lasdun presented a model and an outline plan at a press conference in April 1963, but detailed plans took another year to produce and diverged considerably from the model, so the first permanent buildings did not open until late 1966.拉斯登于 1963 年 4 月在记者会上提交模型与总体方案,但详细图纸又耗时一年且与模型出入很大,因此首批永久建筑直到 1966 年末才落成。
- Lasdun moved the teaching and research functions into a single 460-metre concrete block following the contour of the site, with a walkway giving access to its entrances and six linked residential terraces attached to its southern side.拉斯登将教学与研究功能集中在一座依地形延伸、长 460 米的混凝土建筑中,并沿建筑设置步道连接各入口,南侧附有六栋相连的阶梯式宿舍。
- The terraced residences became known as the "Ziggurats", which Lasdun designed to recall "vineyards in France or a rocky outcrop on a slope", and they were completed in 1967.这些阶梯式宿舍被称为「金字形神塔」,拉斯登称之为「让人想起法国的葡萄园或坡地上的岩层」,于 1967 年建成。
- In 1968 Bernard Feilden replaced Lasdun as consultant architect and completed the university wall, the library and an arena-shaped social space known as The Square, buildings that later received listed status.1968 年,伯纳德·费尔登接替拉斯登出任顾问建筑师,完成了教学墙、图书馆以及名为「广场」的环形公共空间,这些建筑后来获得登录建筑身份。
