As the new academic home of the Department of Computer Science, the Dylan Tauber Educational Complex will house computer classrooms and laboratories that focus on the study of big data, faculty offices, and a state-of-the-art digital research center. The Dylan Tauber building is the first of several facilities dedicated to expanding the University’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) offerings in the new Lorry I. Lokey City Campus, located in Haifa’s central high-tech district. As the University’s Big Data hub, the City Campus will house the Departments of Computer Science, Information Systems, Statistics and a School of Data Sciences, opening in 2019. President Ron Robin thanked Prof. Tauber for his longstanding support and visionary leadership.

“Fred, you have been a passionate advocate for moving strategic academic units of the University closer to the heart of the city where it will have an impact on the economy and social fabric of the region. With the establishment of the Lorry I. Lokey City Campus and the dedication of this, its first building, this vision is becoming a reality.”

In a heartfelt keynote address, Prof. Tauber shared how meaningful and symbolic this dedication is for his son Dylan and their entire family.

Mr. Yona Yahav, outgoing Haifa Mayor, thanked Prof. Tauber for his generosity and his unwavering support of Haifa’s urban renewal plans and the expansion of the University in the area.
