The YMAC Building Project
The YMCA Jerusalem building development plan for the Jerusalem YMCA combines the preservation, renovation and upgrading of the historic YMCA building and its facilities with new construction in the open areas of the complex, particularly the former soccer stadium lying behind and to the west of the building.
The new structures will be harmoniously linked to create a functional-architectural composition. The plan is based on two main pedestrian walkways that converge at a central point and connect all the different functions of the YMCA complex.
Contrary to popular belief, there is a place in the Holy Land where Palestinians and Israelis peacefully coexist. Life at the YMCA Jerusalem International is unique in that members of all faiths gather together everyday to enjoy leisurely pastimes such as working out and drinking coffee.

The view of Jerusalem from the YMCA’s tower is a worthwhile item on a visitor’s itinerary; the tower, in turn, is a dominant feature in the city’s landscape – even now, when office and hotel high-rises have outsized it. In fact, the whole YMCA building plays a major role in Jerusalem’s urban fabric, imparting, together with the King David Hotel opposite it, a sense of civic grandeur.
In keeping with the traditional role of worldwide YMCAs as a home away from home for visitors, the Jerusalem International YMCA offers two excellent guest facilities in the Holy Land – one in Jerusalem itself and the other by the Sea of Galilee.
Visitors are pleasantly surprised to find that the reasonably priced accommodations they have reserved far exceed their expectations in terms of comfort, beauty and location.
