A 30-foot scale model of Haifa University’s projected new campus on Mt. Carmel will be on display in the main entrance hall of the Brooklyn Museum from March 20 to April 30, the University of Haifa Foundation announced today. The new campus, ultra-modern in design, is the work of Oscar Niemeyer, the architect who designed Brazil’s new capital city, Brasilia. Haifa University has an enrollment of 2,000. It is expected to reach 8,000 by 1975.
