Members of Studio 5 Partnership were the design team selected by the Expansion Committee of Yavneh Academy to program and develop the design for upgrading and expanding the Yavneh Academy campus. In addition to improving the existing buildings, the design developed a new traffic pattern that would allow safe and controlled ingress and egress from the site and would remove concerns of the Paramus Planning Board. The revamped traffic pattern created the potential for new program space and the development of a new Lobby/Administration wing. This new element connected the new Lobby area to the existing entrance and allowed the school to separate arrivals by age.

The designers also redesigned the major educational areas for the high school and junior high school level students. Areas resolved included the science department, library, lunchroom and kitchen as well as the circulation within and connecting the various structures.
