Dormitories
Each year, thousands of students head north to experience the vibrant academic community of Tel-Hai College and enjoy the unique educational opportunities it has to offer.
Community is an essential part of the student experience here at Tel-Hai. For this reason, the College decided to locate the new student housing within the town of Kiryat Shmona, allowing students to immerse themselves in the local community and direct their creativity and youthful energy to addressing local issues.
Tel-Hai offers a curriculum that stresses community building and active citizenship. As part of their studies, students are involved in research and programs that directly impact the development and success of communities large and small throughout the Northern Galilee.
The new, modern facilities contain the amenities required to create a comfortable and productive atmosphere for studying and living off campus. Apartment units are designed to accommodate four students, two shared bathrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The housing complex also features public areas, a computer lab, a laundry facility and recreation room. Currently living at the “Masada” dormitories, are 118 students from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Completion of the next stage of student housing construction will add another 132 beds (33 apartments). Eventually, the five-building complex will accommodate close to 500 students, doubling the amount of dormitory housing for Tel-Hai students.
Naming Opportunities
Multi-Purpose Building - Kaztrin Campus
The new building on the Katzrin campus contains advanced, technology-based teaching spaces, which enable the development of new and innovative teaching strategies and learning environments, by the unit for excellence and innovation in teaching.
In the building there are three subunits of the unit for excellence and innovation in teaching:
A pedagogical department leading high-quality academic teaching processes in a technologically advanced pedagogical laboratory space and unique and innovative training programs.
A technology and digital development laboratory that identifies technological trends in academic teaching and assists in the implementation of advanced technological teaching tools.
Simulation Center, an advanced technology-based training facility where students and staff can experience difficult educational situations in a safe environment, learn from them and expand their repertoire of responses through a debriefing process.

Reconstructing the Arts Institute's Historic Dining Room
Become a part of history - support the restoration of the historic Tel-Hai dining room - now ceramics building.
Since its founding as an arts center in 1957, the Tel-Hai Arts Institute served the the young pioneering communities of the Upper Galilee and was the seed from which Tel-Hai College grew. Throughout the years and to this day, the programs at Tel-Hai Arts Institute exemplify a vision of artists who are in constant dialogue with the world outside the studio and the communities that surround it.
Past
Kibbutz Tel-Hai was founded in 1921 on the abandoned remains of the famous battle of Tel-Hai following the death of Joseph Trumpeldor and his comrades (1920).
The kibbutz dining hall was constructed in 1921-22 by Gdud HaAvoda and served as the main gathering hall, kitchen and dining room for Kibbutz Tel-Hai members. The small settlement later became a part of Kibbutz Kfar Giladi.
In the 1930’s, it served the Aliyat HaNoar organization as a site for agricultural training for young new immigrants. The movement, run by Henrietta Szold, provided a platform for young German Jews escaping Hitler’s regime. Many of the program’s graduates remained in the region and went on to establish other kibbutzim and settlements in the area.
Present
Today the dinning hall is the bustling home of the Institute’s vibrant ceramics department. The dire state of the ceramics building requires renovation and renewal, but we wish to preserve the historic building’s past and reconstruct the building while maintaining its unique story.

Future
The plans include restoring the original structure to be solid and conducive. Spaces will be added to enable comprehensive studies and activities in the center (all plans are based on a comprehensive conservation report). This is planned to be the first stage of a wide project that will include the renovation of adjacent buildings; building additional classrooms also designed for community activities and the establishment of an art gallery for artists and alumni of the Arts Institute.
The Arts Institute, in collaboration with Tel-Hai College, invites you to be a part of history, celebrate the legacy of Tel-Hai's pioneering founders, and contribute to the renovation and conservation of this historic building.
Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center
Tel-Hai is building a new innovation and entrepreneurship center!
Tel-Hai College, as a regional growth engine, and significant catalyst for the development of the Galilee, takes an active role in leading and supporting entrepreneurship within the community while engaging in regional collaboration and leveraging the unique strengths and natural resources of the region.
The college collaborates with regional councils, The Eastern Galilee Cluster, entrepreneurship incubators and the Israel Initiative 2020 Inc.
Enabling innovation and initiative will influence the future of the region and the college in terms of sustainability, groundbreaking science and economic and demographic growth.
In order to develop and promote the field of entrepreneurship in the North, Tel-Hai College has decided to construct an Entrepreneurship and Pedagogical Innovation Center - the first of its kind in the Galilee, which will integrate all of the entrepreneurship activity and serve as a platform that is adapted to the needs of the entrepreneurial dynamic arena.
The structure will integrate business innovation and pedagogical innovation spaces and address a wide variety of audiences. We will offer academic innovation courses, innovative scholastic learning spaces, hackathons, conferences, workshops, all intended to promote innovative thinking and doing.
