The design of a new master plan on an area of 26,000 square meters will need to achieve harmony between the planned buildings and the existing wonderful buildings of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute (designed in 1965 by the architects David Reznick and Shimon Pobzner), the National Academy of Sciences and the Council for Higher Education.

It will be TAU's first "green building", and one of the first of its kind in Israel.
