SCE pours education into the city of Ashdod

Recently, a ceremony marking the start of the construction of the new SCE campus in Ashdod was held. This project includes the construction of two buildings on an area consisting of 14,000 square meters

After long years of expectation, we organized a ceremony marking the start of the construction of the new Ashdod campus. This ceremony was attended by: SCE’s Founder, Prof. Jehuda Haddad; SCE’s Managing Director, Zohar Wolfarth Cohen; representatives of the donors—the Ronson Foundation; the Chairman of the Minrav Group, Dr. Shai Weil; and Ashdod’s Mayor, Dr. Yehiel Lasri.


This project was planned by Architect David Knafo and his office, Knafo Klimor Architects. One of the big advantages of the new campus is its accessibility and nearness to Ashdod’s “Ad Halom” Railway Station. The project includes two buildings, situated on an area of about 14,000 square meters, which will house a center for entrepreneurship and innovation, a library, classrooms, laboratories and academic departments.


Prof. Haddad: “The establishment of the new SCE Ashdod campus is a historic moment symbolizing the growth and expansion of SCE, not merely as a leading academic institution, but also signifying our deep interaction with the local community and the City of Ashdod.”


Ms. Wohlfarth Cohen said: “After years of hard work and planning, I’m happy that the vision is becoming a reality. The fortunate students who will study on the new Campus will receive an excellent education and will contribute to Ashdod’s transformation into a hub of excellence, entrepreneurship and innovation. We’re very proud to be part of the texture of urban renewal in Ashdod, and to inculcate the youth in the region with the tools for success and the leadership of significant social changes.”
