Hillel's New Home

The $12 million project will consist of a three-story structure with a total of 35,000 square feet. The facility will feature a two-story, glass-enclosed entrance and recreation area, a coffee bar and an outdoor terrace in front.

Steinhardt Hall will also have meeting rooms and administrative space for the campus' 27 Jewish student organizations, a graduate student lounge and a Judaic library and reading room. The center will be able to accomodate Penn's 6,000 Jewish students.

The groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 4, at 11 a.m. The University community is invited to attend.

The new Steinhardt Hall, Hillel at Penn has been named after Penn alumnus Michael Steinhardt (W‘60), who contributed significant funding to the project. Mr. Steinhardt is the founder of the investment corporation Steinhardt Partners located in New York City. His son David is also a Penn graduate (C'91).

Steinhardt Hall will be located on 39th Street between Walnut and Locust Streets and construction is expected to begin in November of this year with completion anticipated in the spring of 2003.
