BNIM, in partnership with Preston Scott Cohen, was enlisted to help design a renovation and new addition for Congregation Beth Shalom in Overland Park, Kansas. The project’s primary focus is creating a sacred space to serve the Congregation and will include: a sanctuary with seating for up to 500; a library minyan or chapel for smaller gatherings and focused study of the Torah; a flexible lobby for fellowship before and after services; a reception space for community celebrations; a Kosher kitchen for daily meal preparation and special events; and outdoor amenity space. The design establishes a strong link to historic Polish synagogue design with interior organization centered on the Torah ark.
