Project Wonder will serve as Heschel's Hub of Life — the community center of campus — a physical space, and a feeling. As our community continues to grow we see Project Wonder as the gathering center of campus, serving all of our community's evolving needs.
Project Wonder is not just a library renovation — it's a bold reimagining of how a community space can inspire, support, and transform lives. We are creating more than a building; we are building a dynamic hub of opportunity, learning, and connection.
"The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living."
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Project Wonder will be the heart of Heschel's campus—a vibrant community hub that is both a physical space and a shared experience. As our community grows, Project Wonder will allow us the opportunity for a central gathering place, evolving to meet the diverse needs of our community.
More than just a library renovation, Project Wonder is a visionary transformation of community space—designed to inspire, support, and enrich lives. We're not just constructing a building; we're creating a dynamic center for learning, connection, and opportunity.
The moment we've all been working toward is within reach! After months of planning, construction milestones, and steady progress, Project Wonder is nearing completion.
Our vision is taking shape as we work through the final touches. All the hard work and community support throughout this journey have made this dream a reality. Soon, this space will be ready to inspire wonder and foster connection for years to come.
Get ready to experience the wonder we've built together – the grand opening is just around the corner!
Working closely with Abramson Architects and Lee Stucker Construction on design, permits, and engineering plans. Fundraising for leadership level naming gifts.
Begin fundraising from the community to help us reach our goals. Starting with procurement of all materials and equipment, we plan to prepare the site for major construction as soon as school ends.
Groundbreaking! As soon as school ends, we plan to begin demolition. All summer long our construction team will be hard at work.
The exciting time where Project Wonder transitions from blueprints to architectural reality!
Help us celebrate the Grand Opening once our project is complete and buzzing with students and community members. This not only will mark the completion of years of dreaming and planning, but also the beginning of a new chapter for our entire school community!
