Notice to all Koffler visitors and students! 
Demolition of the old Koffler Centre of the Arts and BJCC continues. For safety purposes, the walkway along the south side of the Prosserman JCC will be blocked off while the final section of the old BJCC is demolished. There will be no pedestrian access within this section for approximately 1 to 2 weeks. To enter the Prosserman JCC / Koffler Centre of the Arts, please proceed around the front of the building and under the bridge. We anticipate that the demolition of this section will start early July. Thanks for your understanding!
