The Port Campus project, designed for an 88-dunam area covering four city blocks, calls for a university campus and lively student quarter at the heart of the currently derelict port district.  The plan aims to restore building exteriors; remodel building interiors to accommodate dormitories and classrooms; widen sidewalks to accommodate outdoor cafés; standardize and manage street and commercial signage; and attract art galleries, bookstores, cinemas, coffee houses and storefront gyms.

Five million dollars of municipal funding has already been invested in building and street renovations, and contracts have been signed with the Eugene Feiner Institute for Maritime Studies, the Pizga Institute, Tiltan College, and the University of Haifa; a first influx of students and faculty is slated for October 2007. 

Potential donors are invited to consider several avenues of investment: a philanthropic contribution to the HAIFA FOUNDATION earmarked for converting 5 buildings into dormitories that will house 300 university students; a gift covering construction of the traffic circle planned for the campus entrance; or the direct purchase of a building from its current municipal, commercial or private owner, which the buyer may then remodel into business space.
