The North Shore Congregation Israel is a historic building sited on Lake Michigan and is
world renowned for its original architecture. OKW designed a new Education Wing, new
Family Education Center, and renovations to the existing educational facilities at North
Shore Congregation Israel. The new Education Wing doubles the amount of existing
teaching area and incorporates classroom, administration and collaborative learning
areas.
The project included a complete renovation of the existing teaching areas. The new
Family Education Center (FEC) incorporates a large multi-function, multi-media learning
and conferencing room, classrooms, and offices. In addition, the FEC will provide
the congregation with a new 6,000 square foot roof terrace and a multi level exterior
amphitheater. A cohesive architectural, interior design, signage and wayfinding design
was provided.
