Handleman Hall in the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Building of the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield is on target for a mid- September opening, according to JCC Executive Director David Sorkin, who said the project is around 60 percent completed. "The heating and air conditioning installation is done, and we're painting now," he said. The next major project will be putting acoustic tiles on the walls to better amplify sound. The project is part of the JCC's $25 million campaign that will renovate the building and endow programs. David and the late Marion Handleman gave $1 million for the work at what had been Shiffman Hall. Original esti- mates came in at $1.5 million, howev- er, and any cost overruns will come out of the $25 million pool. "We're now into the final design plans on the lobby and the kitchen," he said. "Now that the hall's done, we need a kitchen." The JCC board of directors hasn't announced which kosher catering company will handle the catering. The lobby will get cosmetic changes to match the ambiance of the social hall. Later, the library will be relocated and a restaurant will be added off the lobby. The lobby and the kitchen are to be done by January 2000; the former won't be started until after the Jewish Book Fair in November. The rest of the project, including relocation of executive offices, con- struction of a second gymnasium and renovation of the child development center areas, is in the planning phase. Said Sorkin: "In the next four or five months, we should know the final cost, problems that could affect the project and in what order things will get done."
