Kaplan JCC on the Palisades

Client

Kaplen JCC on the Palisades

Location

Tenafly, New Jersey

Year Completed

2011

SNS was commissioned to upgrade the existing building to a “state-of-the-art” Community Center with a new main entrance lobby with horizontally expressed Jerusalem stone and floor-to-ceiling glass. Many areas were gutted to meet the new requirements for fitness and wellness.

The Main Lobby, the Family Life section, and the Educational Complex were expanded to add additional daycare classrooms, as well as renovated classrooms.

The Health Club Complex, Seiden Health Center, and the Health & Recreational Complex were fully
renovated with elegant materials and appropriate lighting.

Many design features were added to suit the various functions of the spaces, including upgraded toilets to meet current accessibility requirements throughout the complex.

A set of elevators was added, while the existing elevator was refinished. One of the challenges of this project was to maintain the JCC’s operations during the entire construction process which was phased during a 24-month period.
