The first building on this new independent school campus is the main academic hall, which houses classrooms, core facilities and administration. The V shape of the building forms the beginning of a courtyard that will one day be the center of this growing campus as new phases are constructed. The heart of the building is the Bet Midrash, the central gathering space for the school’s community, accommodating worship and meditation as well as research and debate of Jewish cultural issues.
The academic wing is designed to foster small group instruction and informal student-teacher interaction. Science labs and prep rooms occupy the lower level with the upper two floors containing small classrooms, clusters of student locker alcoves and faculty offices, as well as conference rooms, student lounges, and student mailboxes.
A dining commons served by a kosher dairy kitchen, a library, music room, and fine arts suite complete the first phase. Subsequent phases will include a 40,000 sf student activity center and a fine and performing arts building. The 20-acre site will include soccer and baseball fields, basketball courts, and tennis courts, along with adequate faculty, student, and event parking.
