One look at the Spertus building makes it clear that this award-winning facility is unique. This behind-the-scenes tour lets you learn about the building’s environmental sustainability, how its contemporary design found a home in South Michigan Avenue’s historic district, and why Krueck + Sexton Architects were chosen for the job. Also, discover how ideas central to Judaism’s religious and intellectual traditions are woven into the building’s design.

$18 adults | $10 students and seniors |
