A New Teaching Complex for Life sciences and Engineering

Since the founding of the Technion, undergraduate education included significant hands-on teaching in which students carry out experiments and learned first-hand about fundamental phenomena. In many of the engineering faculties, this teaching is carried out in a centralized teaching complex – Danziger labs – whose staff and facilities provide an excellent and up to date environment for hands on teaching in physics, mechanics, material sciences and much more. Where biomedical sciences are concerned, however, hands-on teaching is carried out separately at each academic unit and faculty.  

The Technion is in the midst of creating a new teaching complex analogous to the Danziger labs for hands on teaching in the domains of life science and engineering. The labs will occupy 3 floors in the Malat building, which will include facilities designed from the ground up to meet Technion teaching needs in diverse fields of life sciences, biotechnology and biomedical engineering. The design and construction are carried out as tight collaborations between multiple faculties, management and service units. The labs are expected to open on Autumn 2025 and in full operation a year later.
