The Virtual Simulation Experiment Teaching Center of CAUP of Tongji University has built a highly simulated virtual experimental environment based on VR, multimedia, HCI, database, ICT and other technologies, allowing teachers and students to exchange professional knowledge in a virtual environment. It is a new information-based education method that can fully inspiring creativity and desire for exploration.
建筑规划景观国家级虚拟仿真实验教学中心（同济大学）基于虚拟现实、多媒体、人机交互、数据库和网络通讯等技术，构建出高度仿真的虚拟实验环境，让师生同步在虚拟环境中交流学科专业知识，开展实验。这是一种全新的信息化教育模式，能充分激发学生的创造力和探索欲望。
The lab is located on the second floor of Building D of the CAUP, with a corridor connecting different rooms: entrance space, VR review unit, multi-function room, 5-sided LED-CAVE room, staff office, etc. The originally boring and straightforward lab is transformed into a flexible space by using elements such as movable panel walls, ceiling decoration, and lighting decor.
实验室位于建筑与城市规划学院D楼的二层空间，由一条走廊连接多个功能区：入口空间，VR评图单元，多功能室，5面LED-CAVE，办公室等。通过活动板墙装置、天花装饰、灯光序列等元素，将原本枯燥直白的实验室转换为灵活多变的空间。
01 Entrance
Teachers and students can access the entrance of the lab through the outdoor platform on the second floor, or take the elevator inside. The entrance hall uses a minimalist geometric light and dark gray grilles, which not only serves as a lab sign but also strengthens the visual core of the entrance.
师生可以通过二层的室外露台来到实验室的入口空间，或乘坐室内的垂直电梯。半室外门厅采用极简的几何灯带造型与深灰色格栅，起到标识作用的同时也强化入口的视觉凝聚效果。
The corridor connects and serves all the spaces. We disagree large-scale demolition and reconstruction, and instead adopted a low-cost simple approach, allocating the budget to more important spaces.
走廊串联并服务于各个空间，我们不赞同大规模的拆除重建，而是采取低成本的极简方式，将预算分配给更重要的空间。
02 VR Review Space
In order to meet the needs of diversified teaching review, the area is designed as a flexible space that can be divided into multiple independent small units or used as a complete large one. It can meet the needs of 5 units at the same time when they are independent, and each one is equipped with a rectangular lamp and a track lights on the outer to enhance the projection lighting experience.
为了满足多样化教学的评图需求，评图区被设计为灵活的可变空间，可分割成多个独立的小单元，或作为一个完整的大空间使用。当被独立使用时，可同时满足5个单元的需求，且每个单元内部设一个倒角的矩形拉膜灯，外圈设环形轨道灯，提升VR投影的体验感。
An integrated service case is set up in combination with the columns to creat a complete users’ space for each unit, and with a full set of servers, monitor and projector.
结合立柱设置一体化服务柜，确保每个单元享有完整的用户空间，并配备全套服务器、显示器与投影仪。
03 Multi-Function Room
Considering that the lab also needs a larger space for training, meetings, R&D, etc. Therefore, instead of using the conventional solid wall separating the multi-function room and the 5-sided LED-CAVE room, we designed a movable partition wall to replace the traditional one. In this way, the diversity and possibilities of the space will be maximized.
考虑到实验室还需要一个较大的空间用于培训、会议、研发，因此我们不再采取常规的实墙分隔多功能室与5面LED-CAVE室，而是用可活动隔断墙取代传统隔墙的做法。这样一来，将会最大限度的提升空间的多样性与可能性。
