Urgent: Sterling Facility Construction Begins This Week—Plan Ahead

Major Construction at SterlingAccess & Parking Info Inside

Assalaamu Alaykum Masjid,

We want to inform you that major construction to enhance the lower level of the Sterling facility is scheduled to begin this week and will continue through the summer. This project is an essential part of maintaining and improving our building to better serve all schools, programs, and community activities that take place in the facility.

The work includes significant upgrades to classrooms, offices, bathrooms, and security systems, ensuring a safer and more welcoming space for everyone.

Access & Parking Changes (Effective Immediately):

• Lower Level Access Restricted:

  • Starting this week, all access to the lower level of the old building (Sterling basement, from the back parking lot) will be restricted summer 2025 or until project completion.

    • This includes elevator access to the lower level from near Qahwa Caf, and basement access from the stairwell near the Sisters' and Brothers' Restrooms.

    • This does NOT impact the Community Hall or the elevator in the new foyer, which remain fully accessible.

• Back Parking Lot Impact:

  • As construction progresses, dumpsters and storage containers will be placed in the back parking lot, which will reduce available parking spaces. Please plan accordingly.

Handicap Access Guidance:

For those requiring handicap access, please review the diagram below:

• Two handicap ramps (marked with green lines) provide easy entry through designated doors (marked with yellow dots).

• The parking area highlighted with a red box is the most suitable location for ramp access.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this important project. Please make dua that Allah places barakah in this effort to beautify and improve our facilities for His sake alone.

Your support makes projects like this possible. We encourage you to contribute to ADAMS Operations so we can continue serving our community:

Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your understanding and ongoing support.

Best Regards,
ADAMS Center
