Description
Designed by Studio Libeskind, in collaboration with IKM Architecture of Pittsburgh, the reimagined building at the corner of Shady and Wilkins Avenues in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood will house a new national institution encompassing a museum, center for education and a planned memorial honoring the 11 people from three congregations – Tree of Life*Or L’Simcha, New Light Congregation and Congregation Dor Hadsash – killed in the attack on October 27, 2018.
The new building will include exhibition space, classrooms, a social hall, and a 300-seat state-of-the-art sanctuary/theater that prominently features the historic stained-glass windows and offers space for both religious and cultural programming.
The opening is slated for 2028.
