JNF-USA Educational Campus

The Jewish National Fund-USA partnered with DBI to develop a world-class, multi-faceted campus in Be’er Sheva, Israel. JNF-USA envisions the campus as an ecosystem bringing together high school students, college students, post-graduates, and other adults from around the world to learn, convene, and engage with one another and with the Be’er Sheva community. The campus program consists of educational facilities, a conference center, short and long-term housing, worship spaces, dining facilities, and gathering and outdoor spaces.

We led the planning for the 20-acre campus, translating the organization’s visioning effort to date into an executable capital project plan inclusive of a program, budget, and schedule. Our partnership also helped JNF-USA develop a master planning approach, and with our guidance, they have recently procured design and technical teams.

When open, the campus will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs and bring countless visitors to Israel’s Negev region.
