'Bricks and Mortar': Physical Needs

Several construction and/or refurbishment projects are currently underway on the campus – or have been recently completed – offering numerous attractive naming opportunities, among them:

Under Construction

• Shuster Building for the National Center for Traumatic Stress and Resilience:  Currently under construction and expected to be complete by 2026, this building offers attractive facilities including labs, a patient clinic and a conference room.

• Azrieli Building of Architecture: This building will be the permanent home of TAU’s Azrieli School of Architecture, enabling it to expand its academic scope, upgrade research and teaching conditions and enhance the quality of student training. It will offer a broad range of physical opportunities, ranging from a large auditorium, to student workshops, classrooms, and patios.

• Rosenberg Building is available for renaming: The 4,500m² Building for Jewish Studies has not been renovated since it was originally constructed 45 years ago. A  gift will cover all renovations, set up a maintenance endowment fund, and also establish an endowment for Jewish Studies, the annual yield of which will support research and teaching in the field in perpetuity.

Attractive for naming

• Student City: Nine of 11 buildings, as well as numerous sub-units such as lobbies, floors and landscaping, are still available for naming.

• Lokey Graduate Center: Options to name floors in the building, which is expanding the Coller School of Management, are still available.

• Samueli Building: Two-thirds of this massive new building serves as Broadcom’s Israel R&D center, while one third houses TAU engineering professors and students. Facilities include an auditorium, labs, classrooms, group study areas and outdoor gardens.
