Thoughtfully positioned within the limited buildable area of a 7.2-acre site—bordered by two wetland zones and two roadways—the 23\,000-sf community center was developed with a “town square” parti\, serving as a dynamic focal point for the growing Jewish community of Hunterdon County. The design takes advantage of the site’s natural slope to integrate the building into the landscape\, maintaining a low profile to address neighborhood concerns while ensuring seamless accessibility. Natural and regionally sensitive materials were selected to complement the area’s historic character while supporting durability and environmental considerations. The tour will explore how the building balances modern programmatic needs with zoning and site constraints\, incorporating thoughtful solutions for egress\, acoustics\, and flexible gathering spaces. The design fosters both individual and communal well-being\, with an emphasis on daylighting\, material choices\, and a strong connection to the surrounding environment. Attendees will be divided into two groups for a guided walkthrough of interior and exterior spaces\, including the lobby\, sanctuary\, social hall\, classrooms\, office space\, and nursery school. \nCourse Description: Business Structures as a Strategy for Firm Growth (0.5 LU) \nParticipants will gather for a Business of Architecture presentation by Joshua Zinder\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP focused on alternative firm business structures as a strategy for firm growth and future financial stability. Specific case study will feature a Firm Within A Firm Strategy\, as established at Joshua’s firm Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design\, LLC d/b/a Landau Zinder Architecture – the design firm responsible for the Telyas Chabad Jewish Center. \nGuest Speakers \nJoshua Zinder\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP BD+C \nJoshua has over 30 years of experience\, focusing on service to the profession\, community\, and his faith. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Syracuse University and a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University.

Prior to joining the JZA+D team in 2013\, Benjamin worked at William Starck Architects in Massachusetts. \nThe 23\,000-sf Chabad Center is thoughtfully designed on a 7.2-acre site\, carefully integrating with its natural surroundings while responding to community needs. The building’s layout follows a “town square” concept\, with a central\, light-filled lobby acting as the heart of the community. The design prioritizes connectivity to the landscape\, using the site’s slope to keep the structure low-profile and unobtrusive. The sanctuary\, oriented eastward toward Jerusalem\, features a flexible space that accommodates 150 congregants\, with natural light flooding through clerestory windows. A multipurpose “jewel box” in the lobby serves as a gathering space\, while an amphitheater offers outdoor opportunities for prayer and events. The design blends modern forms with regionally sensitive materials\, creating a dynamic and inviting space that goes beyond a synagogue to become a vibrant community hub for the growing Jewish population in Hunterdon County.

SUMMARY:How Should Construction Contract Approach Potential Tariffs?
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin AIA Tristate for an engaging conversation with construction attorneys and architects about how to safeguard your projects\, firm and clients against economic challenges. We’ll delve into standard contract clauses\, common law protections\, contract negotiations and project controls in a volatile environment. Our panel will offer diverse prospectives on the challenges and solutions in these areas. Tune in to discover best practices for navigating in today’s economically challenging built environments. \nTariffs are taxes levied on goods imported into the U.S.\, usually paid by the importer at the port of entry. These tariffs increase the costs of imported materials\, such as those used in construction\, potentially leading to higher project expenses. Standard construction contracts typically hold contractors responsible for any tax changes\, including tariffs\, without compensation for increased costs. Relief for tariffs is rarely included in force majeure or commercial impracticability clauses\, and while some federal contracts might allow for equitable adjustments under certain conditions\, this is not a certainty. Those in the role of Project and Contract Management should consider negotiating specific contract clauses to manage tariff-related risks effectively. \nPanel Members:\nTwo Attorneys from Offit Kurman are:\nJeff Bright | jeff.bright@offitkurman.com | Harrisburg\, PA Office\nMark Johnson | mark.johnson@offitkurman.com | Los Angeles\, CA Office\nMichael Spinelli\, JD\, AIA | mwspinelli@csfllc.com | Hauppauge\, NY Office | AIA NYS\nEric Booth\, AIA | ebooth@desmone.com | Pittsburgh\, PA | AIA PA\nChristopher Brand | cbrand@rscarchitects.com | | AIA NJ
