The campus is comprised of four buildings: one dating back to the nineteenth century and three built in the later half of the twentieth century. These buildings house most of our classrooms, the computer labs, workshops, laboratories, offices, and the Tachlit Center for Lifelong Learning. Recently, we opened the doors of our new building, comprised of three historical buildings, the Esther Gottesman Center for Technology (formerly known as the Arches Building). This building is home to new classrooms, a new computer lab, the Department of Communication Disorders, the Information Resource Center, and the Henrietta Szold Challenge Center for students with special needs and challenges. Bus lines: HaNeviim Street: 1, 3, 10, 150, 154, 157, 183, 186 Jaffa Street: 6, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 35, 36, 39, 45, 174, 175 King George Street: 4, 8, 9, 14, 17, 31, 32 --------------------------------------------------------- TechnionMathNet2 TECHMATH2 Editor:Michael Cwikel Announcement from: Martin Charles Golumbic
