Old Technion building, Historic educational building in Hadar District, Israel
The three-story stone structure combines Western architectural elements with local design features, including pointed arches and extensive stonework throughout its facade.
Construction began in 1912, and despite completion in 1914, the building served as a hospital and military base before its academic inauguration in 1924.
The building sparked a notable debate over the choice between German and Hebrew as the language of instruction, leading to delays in the institution's opening.
The structure now houses the Israel National Museum of Science, Technology, and Space, offering educational exhibits and programs for visitors.
Albert Einstein visited the building in 1923 and planted the first palm tree in front of it, marking the institution's dedication to scientific advancement.
