Iron Hill Construction Management delivered a 17,000-square-foot community and religious education facility for the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Paterson, New Jersey. The new building provides expanded space for the Cathedral’s community initiatives and serves as the home of Brilla Public Charter Schools, which opened for the 2023–2024 academic year to support students both inside and outside the classroom.
Located within the Old Great Falls Historic District, the facility was thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding historic architecture. The exterior incorporates masonry elements alongside modern materials, including fiber cement siding and trim on the second story. The building is also connected to the Cathedral’s existing gymnasium and parish offices through the basement, allowing seamless access for ongoing parish programs and activities.
