The Technions main campus, known as Technion City, is a 1.2 square kilometer site located on the pine-covered north-eastern slopes of Mount Carmel. The campus comprises 100 buildings, occupied by thousands of people every day. The Technion has two additional campuses. Its original building in midtown Haifa, in use by the Technion until the mid-1980s, now houses the National Museum of Science, Planning and Technology. The Rappaport Faculty of Medicine is located at a third campus in downtown Haifa, next to Rambam Medical Center.
Recreational activities on the main campus include an olympic-size swimming pool as well as gymnastics- squash- and tennis facilities. The Technion Symphony Orchestra and Choir are composed mainly of Technion students and staff. Each term, the Orchestra offers a series of daytime and evening concerts. Films and live performances by leading Israeli artists take place on campus on a regular basis. The Ohel Aharon Synagogue is a gathering place for worship and study.
