The Hebrew University Campus
The “Gav-Yam Hebrew Park” project, at the Hebrew University Campus, Jerusalem.
The first high-tech industrial park located within the campus of an academic institution. The campus is being built in stages, to encompass about 270,000 square meters of space for work, offices, research and laboratories, providing employment for about 10,000 people.
Stage I of the project consists of some 34,000 sq.m. of building envelope work, comprising 2 innovative and green structures, complying with the highest international LEED standards for environmental design.
The project is characterized by the complex geometry of the building envelope, comprising a large number of linked buildings located between two streets at different levels, forming one large structure which will incorporate single skin stick system curtain walls, and a new system developed specially for this project with profiles, columns, beams and bullnoses made of aluminum and industrial stone, for maximum compatibility with all the systems in the project, taking account of wind and other forces acting on the curtain walls.
The stick system was developed specially for this project to support the stone and aluminum pins at a depth of 40 cm.
