Gluek Center for Jewish Studies

Gluek Center for Jewish Studies


This design joins cutting edge electronic learning technologies with the age-old traditions of Jewish studies. The heart of the new 40,000 sq.ft. academic building comprised of a grand three-story-tall study hall completely fitted for integration of the computer into traditional Talmudic learning methods, behind a tilted, curving glass wall. The curving wall continues up the full height of the building, where it gives access to two more floors of long-distance learning classrooms, media libraries and seminar spaces, and two penthouse levels of staff offices and caucus rooms.
