Akiba’s Pre-School, Lower and Middle Schools are housed on the Schultz Rosenberg Campus on more than 8 1/2 acres, and include an athletic facility and the Beit Midrash. The administration building includes libraries, and art and music rooms. The Leah & Harold Pollman Dining Hall provides family-style seating for meals, an auditorium with lighting, sound and a stage for productions. In addition to its gym, fitness and locker rooms, and snack bar, the Andrew & Nicole Schultz Family Athletic Facility also has outdoor basketball courts, playing fields, a track, and outside bleachers. The Campus also hosts an outdoor amphitheatre, a sculpture garden, and an art gallery.

The architects at Gromatzky, Dupree & Associates, with Andres Construction, Israeli-American artist David Moss, and a dedicated lay committee (Pam Fine, Lizzy Rosenberg Greif, Ruthy & Steven Rosenberg, Jaynie Schultz, and Leslie Schultz) have created a haven for our children to learn, grow, pray and play. “Without the influence of the Schultz and Rosenberg families, this campus would not exist at all and without the wisdom, religious, and artistic knowledge of David Moss, it would be very different, and much less successful,” said lead architect Jeff Smith. “Many of us are personally and emotionally connected because of these people and their vision! These aren’t just school buildings, but Architecture with a purpose, infused with the spirit of the Judaic traditions, speaking to us about our time and place in history, and lighting a lamp for those to come to see their way into the future. This would not have been possible without the input and support of the many volunteers who shared insight, from the sizes of lockers and how a kosher kitchen works, to the greater vision.”

“What is here is exactly what I hoped for,” said David Moss. “This community ‘gets it.’ They understand how to translate the basics of Modern Orthodox values, and to bring them together to share with the world. There’s a dynamism we’re trying to convey that will allow for an excitement of learning and of connecting.” The Lower School is host to a canvas designed by Mr. Moss, based on the story of the Akedah, when Abraham took Isaac as a sacrifice. “This and many other pieces will empower the children as they take ownership,” he said. Mr. Moss’s work follows the five books of Moses in the Pre-School.

Among Mr. Moss’s many other inspirations is the Beit Midrash that sits center Campus with a stream that flows from its doors. Along the stream, which provides a place for anyone to read and write, think, or just stop to enjoy its beauty, are twelve stones with inscriptions such as, “As water flows from one end of the world to the other, so does Torah.”
