Graduate students, partners, children, come home to Technion.

Moving into the Zielony Graduate Student village at Technion City.

“In order to remain vibrant and productive, we aim to increase the number of first-rate graduate students that are so critical to
our future.”

Technion President Prof. Peretz Lavie.

The Zielony Graduate Student Village – opening its doors to Technion’s graduate students and their families.

Graduate families are now moving in to the Zielony Graduate Student Village at Technion City. The village is on a sloping, tree-covered hillside, and covers an area of approximately four acres. All of the 216 the apartments are connected to the high-speed, campus-wide computer network, which is connected to the Internet.

“The Technion has made great strides over the past few years in recruiting more top graduate students worldwide,” said Prof. Moshe Shpitalni, Dean of Graduate Studies. “Graduate students currently constitute one-third of the Technion’s student body. The long-term goal of the university is to raise that proportion to one-half.”

Being Part of a Community

The close-knit nature of the Graduate Student Village encourages graduate student families to foster close friendships. The families can get to know one another, help each other out, (especially with the kids!). This concentration of graduate students in similar circumstances with similar concerns and responsibilities creates a supportive social framework where each person or family can contribute to the welfare of the community.

The Community Center of Tomorrow

The coming addition to the village – The Community Center – will support and enhance community life. Professional childcare will be provided in four kindergarten classrooms for different ages of children (aged 0 to 1-1/2 years, 1-1/2 to 2 years, 2-3 years, 3-4 years), enabling parents to immerse themselves in work, confident that their children are well looked after. A multipurpose room on the lower level will serve as a possible fifth kindergarten classroom as well as provide venues for a variety of other activities.
