Jewish Theological Seminary Expansion

The Jewish Theological Seminary – among the preeminent institutions of Jewish higher-education, training, and professional development – is undergoing a significant academic and residential expansion of its Morningside Heights campus in Manhattan. Students moved into a new 144-bed residence hall in 2019, and other elements of the project are nearing completion. The full program includes an atrium, classrooms, a two-story library, and a 200-seat auditorium. AKRF prepared the Full Environmental Assessment Form and supplemental documentation per SEQRA requirements; prepared the Construction Protection Plan; and performed construction monitoring for the expansion project. We also provided geotechnical engineering support for rock excavation up to approximately 30 feet below sidewalk elevation.
