Since building its original campus in 1968, the Congregation B’nai B’rith community has greatly expanded, now accommodating over 800 families. This master plan is a vision for the future of the 5-acre campus that renews and expands their services and community amenities.
The design includes enhanced and more accessible outdoor spaces – playground, park, plazas, and courtyards – a consolidated and expanded leadership hub, a transformed arrival experience, and a revitalized and an expanded Center for Jewish Learning that includes a teaching kitchen, library and sacred space, general-purpose classrooms, tech/media lab, and art studio.
Guiding principles of the project design stem from the Congregation’s desire to foster a warm, inclusive and vibrant Jewish community on a campus that is sustainable, safe, welcoming, and accessible.
The campus is a sacred place that grows connections – to community, to family, to nature, and to Judaism.
The campus is a vibrant park full of joy, light, and nature.
