[3][2] The Levy Center is adjacent to Mitscher Hall and contains a 410-seat synagogue, a fellowship hall, a Character Learning Center, classrooms, and offices for the Brigade's social director, the academic board, and the academy's Honor Board.

[5] The Levy Center cost $8 million to design, build and furnish; of which approximately $1.8 million was paid for with military construction funds,[2] and the remaining amount was paid for by donations raised by the Friend of the Jewish Chapel, a campaign headed by Jewish alumni of the academy and others.

[2][1] The 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) building was designed by Maryland architect Joseph Boggs[1] and was built by The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.

[2] The entrance pavilion has elements related to the center bay of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello.

Levy purchased Monticello in 1834 and restored it because of his admiration for Jefferson, who died in 1826.
