The new building required abating and demolishing the existing 1950s synagogue attached to the administration building that remained operational during construction. The new addition includes dormitory rooms for 97 students, a staff apartment and a guest suite. The addition also provides students with a student lounge, seminary study space, book store, laundry facilities, shower facilities and associated rooms for support services. The existing administration buildings’ classrooms received new mechanical systems, new energy efficient windows, the addition of a fire sprinkler system and an addressable fire alarm system.
