Our Facility

The award-winning Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership building — designed by Chicago-based Krueck + Sexton Architects — opened in 2007. The building is proud to be the recipient of a number of prestigious awards including the Chicago Design Excellence Award from the American Institute of Architecture (AIA) and the Patron of the Year Award from the Chicago Architecture Foundation.

The facility is also committed to promoting green initiatives with its sustainable design and was awarded a Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

  • Frits bonded onto the glass windows to control heat gain and glare
  • Eco-friendly building materials including low- or no-VOC paint
  • Green Roof with special vegetation to absorb air pollution, collect rainwater, and help cool the building
  • Green Seal Certified cleaning products both non-toxic and eco-friendly
  • Green focused caterers purchase locally and organically whenever possible.
  • On-site compost and recycling systems to reduce event-generated waste by approximately 40 tons per year
