The new campus for the Negev Academic College of Engineering is built in an old and neglected neighborhood in city of Be'er Sheva. The campus will house 9 buildings for a total of 20,000 m² space, consisting of classrooms, computer laboratories, auditoriums, a student union, offices, parking, sports facilities and a new park. The structures are envisioned as a series of bridges floating over the park, keeping the ground as a free public space.

The Firm is responsible for the most recent expansion of 6,900 m², as a "fast-track" coordination of planning, design construction tenders and supervision. The project initiated in 1999 is currently under construction.
