August 2025 - Our facade on 65th Street is continuing to take shape (behind scaffolding if you are walking down the street, but you can peer into small windows to see it).
The canopy on our exterior is being completed:
To the east of the front doors, the exterior surrounding the office windows:
The view from just inside our front doors:

On the western half of the facade, you can now see glass in the windows, the light gray material has been placed above the windows, and the structure of the canopy is in place above the windows:
Looking from east to west, you can see the full structure of the canopy above the windows:
Looking at the center of the facade, you can see our front doors in place under the canopy structure:
Just east of the canopy and front doors, you can now see the office windows and the surrounding external material being put into place:
Nov 2024 - The wall of the western half of our exterior facade has been constructed on 65th Street (it is behind scaffolding if you are walking down the street). You can see the distinctive outline of the wall and the space for the windows in the photo and the rendering here:
The wood area is where our front door will be, as seen in this photo and rendering:

Looking south at social hall area
May 2024 - view from middle of our space, looking a) southeast (towards chapel), b) south (towards front door), and c) southwest (towards sanctuary). The photos were taken looking south from the vantage point of approximately where our 4th classroom will be. You can see that the space is still filled with the overall building's construction equipment and material.
