The move to the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Campus marks Bezalel’s historic return to the heart of the city and constitutes a historic landmark for the Academy and for Jerusalem, bringing thousands of art, design and architecture students to live, study, create and operate in the heart of the city and its community. Stretching over 42,00 square meter, the building was designed by the Japanese architectural firm SANAA, winner of the Pritzker international architectural competition and one of the leading architectural firms in the world, in collaboration with Israel’s HQ Architects. This move creates an urban campus which includes the Historic Building where the School of Architecture resides, and the Bezalel dorms, all within a short walking distance from each other.
