The new cable car, connecting the University with the Technion and the Lev Hamifratz central train/bus station, covers a total distance of 4.4 kilometers with an elevation gain of 460 meters. Sure to become a major city tourist attraction, most of the passengers are expected to be students traveling to UofH and the Technion. Dubbed the “Rakavlit”, the cable car will also accelerate the University’s development as a cultural and scientific center. As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the University is in the midst of several high profile capital projects, including the Sammy Ofer Observation Gallery renovation on the Eshkol Tower’s 30th floor, the new Sculpture Garden featuring famous works by Israel’s top sculptors, and two new cultural wings that are being added to the Hecht Museum.
