Epstein provided complete architectural and engineering design for the development of The Bernard Weinger Jewish Community Center in Northbrook, Illinois. The Weinger JCC is a 65,000 square foot facility containing a pool, gym, classrooms, day care center and nursery school. Located in an industrial/office park, the 12-acre site is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, and between a residential area to the west, a major expressway to the south, and a railroad right-of-way to the east.

The building has been developed in two halves; the one story educational wing to the west, containing the day-care center and nursery school, and the larger volume recreational wing to the east - containing the pool, gym, and locker rooms. Weaving the two halves together is the main entry/lobby space and the multipurpose room, all naturally lit by continuous clerestories. The nursery school has been developed in an L-shape, creating a protected courtyard/playground oriented to the south. Tempered by canopies and trellis structures, all classrooms have direct access to controlled natural light.

The Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) bestowed a Design Award of Honor to Epstein for this project.
