In a synagogue the holy Ark is always in front of the sanctuary - so that everybody faces the ark while praying.
It is considered impolite to turn ones back to the ark which houses the holy Torah scrolls.
In the USA the ark will be in the East, as Jews pray facing Israel and
Jerusalem. (In Jerusalem they pray facing the Temple Mount.)
